Most Tenor sax players don't even know that you can play this many notes, rhythms, licks and different sounds on one tune on one instrument all at the same time. Every serious jazz sax player in the entire universe envied this man at one time or another in their life. "FACT" Even half ass jazz tenor players like me too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXrL9irVI6I

Wow, so many to choose from.... But 2 of my favorites: While my guitar gently weeps "The Beatles", but Solo played by Eric Clapton Hotel California "The Eagles" Eric
the best players don't care what the guitar looks like they just kick the crap out of it baby wow! When you watch him he's doing so many Technics like at 3:18 when he bends the neck on that Martin? OMG!! really amazing !!
Ian & Gary should love this song, IMO the best Guitar player I've seen....

I contend that Tommy Emmanuel cannot possibly be that good! He doesn't even have a stick bending do hicky on that thing. Really, check it out and look for yourself. He doesn't even have a cheater bar either so, he must play everything in the same key, no?

Tommy is wonderful. Thanks for posting that Donny. That has to be the best performance of Classical Gas I have heard. And the amazing thing is his brother Phil is also master of the guitar though he plays electric mostly. Must be something in their gene pool. Here is a clip of the two of them that includes clowning around both playing the one guitar.

Wow I didn't realize that was Freddie Ravel. I have seen Freddie play on around 20 different occasions at a Greek restaurant in Los Angeles. He would play with his band just a few feet away from our table. All his solos are brilliant as is his song writing. An awesome keyboard player and such a nice guy as well. He got so used to us coming to see him play he would always say hello to us.
Have you listened to his albums. They are magic. It is Latin infused jazz which is very catchy to listen too. He always plays with prominent jazz musicians. Over the years he has also been the Music Director for Tower Of Power and also for Al Jarreau.
