it's hard to believe only 31000 have view this. Lenny is up there with the best of the best musicians to have ever lived. But, yet I see on another RUclips page 1.2 million viewers watched a guy change a tire.
One of the greatest jazz masters to use his style of playing harmonics as a function of notes played rather than just open string harmonics, as part of his playing technique.
That’s incredible to think my great uncle played with this amazing guitar player, for those who know of him my uncle is bob erlendson. Would have loved to meet Lenny breau
@Joeey And yes, he was into junk for a long time. I studied with Jerry Hahn who also had a few run ins with Lenny. At the point when they met, Lenny was experimenting with using a 12 string guitar for its 12 individual strings! How fun would that have been!! And not surprising, after all, it's Lenny we're talking about :) if you look at my tune, You Have My Heart, it's very clear I've taken a lot of inspiration from him !!!
If you like lenny breau then you should check out Danny Gatton and Roy Buchanan. All are great realtively undiscovered guitarists. Brilliant! Thanks for posting.
Yes, 7 strings, but unlike all other 7-strings I've seen, it's 'a' above -high- 'e' instead of 'a' or 'b' below -low- 'e'. Steve Vai tried it , but it kept breaking, so he went low. Breau solved the breakage issue with a shorter scale. Breau has a gentler right hand than Vai, has no whammy bar, & does no extensive or extreme left-hand string-bending , so the high-'a' survives.
@Joeey you are the one who did the living room tapes??? are there more takes than what you transferred??? incredible work by the way I have turned on many people (mostly women!) to that album. Lenny probably knew this, but his music is very romantic, never mind its obvious technical brilliance
@Joeey I should also mention that there has been a resurfacing of a few very touching, intimate guitar instruction videos from another late great guitar player that the world lost too soon. Allow me to give you a link: watch?v=9TC1dBIdkV0

Lenny Breau ...such an inspirational beautiful player . Sure wish he was still with us
This is unreal! My brain can't really even comprehend what I'm watching at times. He was really something else.

Amazing

Wow this is an incredible clip. Any other clips of him that are good? Thanks
If only I could do it from just watching this.

Congrats! Jerry Hahn is a phenomenal guitarist. His stuff with John Handy still blows my mind and inspires me.
@@faunaflage I took lessons from hahn And he can be a Dick at times. Wasnt right for me.

I heard Lenny also used nylon fishing line for the 'a' string.

@@JiriPrajzner huh... HUH
@@JiriPrajzner cool! didn't know that!
Anybody notice he's playing a 7 string here?
I would have never noticed if you didn't say! Amazed no one liked or commented on this for nine years..
It is sad to say that i am glad he has passed bc I don't think the world could handle. However I do believe there are others
