Every guitarist know the mini heart attack when breaking a string.

i think i have watched this video atleast 30 times.. i cant get enough of it. i used to play when i was younger, turned 21 and put it down.. im glad i stumbled into this video.. seeing your emotions and feeling the music has honestly reminded me how much i miss being taken to that place.. the place where the music and your fingers take over and everything else doesnt matter .. the chill down the spine and the cramp in the hand, but you still keep playing because it feels so damn good.

His playing style and sound reminds me of B.B King.

You are such a great player. This has to be your profession. I keep hitting the repeat button...sounds really melodic and refined. Wish I could play 1/100 as good as you!!!

Wow. I'll put it this way: I would buy an album of nothing but music like this, just to play in the background while I'm hangin' around the house. I did just that actually, and found the whole place a lot more homey. Love it.

C minor blues.. classic bb style. May he rest in peace. Nice phyrigian dominant touch.

I heard this first over ten years ago and was gobsmacked. I recently thought of it and thought “it’s been a while, I’m sure it can’t be as amazing as I remember. I gotta be at least close to as good as that.” Boy was I wrong. As amazing as the first time I saw it. That tone is amazing. Unfortunately it can’t be bought because it comes straight from your fingers.
