    I've never heard anyone do that little slide on the opening like a rolling stone part it sounds heavenly. Usually you hear it on the E string but hearing it on the higher strings is just beautiful.

    Kent Carlevi, mate I want to say that I've been playing classical guitar for 5 years a long time ago, and after listening to this you have inspired me to buy Music Man Axis AX40 and start practicing and practicing I love that improvising so much!!! Thank you for sharing this with us.

    I started playing hair guitar in 1985. I was 15. Learned everything by ear. Listened and tried to replicate it. Learned to train that ear. After 30+ yrs, it's very sharp. New players today don't get that. They learn by watching. Bending in tune is a hard thing to learn. I've been watching this channel since it started years ago. I had been playing for years and didn't realize how much bending actually went on until I saw this vid. The camera angle is perfect to see it. Almost every note is bent. I played it myself and I was doing it too. Didn't even realize it. Every new player should see this vid. It's an eye opener.

    This is where I want to be when I grow up (as a guitar player). To be able to play through multiple songs, effects, volumes, and style transitions and do it cleanly for a considerable amount of time... that makes a good live player.
    I'll be watching this one over and over.
