    Love these short-form videos. Just enough intro, followed by the meat. Thanks for making these short and punchy.

    Hank is so underrated. Such a monster player. Love the movie that Vai did about him.

    Hey Levi! Thanks for sharing footage of one of the unsung heroes of "HillBilly Jazz"! Great player. Small quibble though, I think
    Hank is "anchoring" his fingers/hand with his index finger to facilitate one finger per fret four fret spread, but as always great, insightful share! You're the best. Merry Christmas from the freezing Midwest of USA!

    I love Hank, he's probably my favorite player. His song "So What" is fantastic, as is his version of "All the things you are"
    I love the way his lines flow.

    "Crazy The Hank Garland Story " is on DVD. It shows how he wrote and played guitar on "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" but at that time you could only be a player or a writer. Steve Vai makes a cameo as Hank Williams.

    2003 I was at a blues open mic hosted by the late Big Dave Feister and the Groove Monsters in Florida, and I got the jam with Jerry Scheff, one of Elvis's bass players.

    Class act! Have you heard of Danny Cedrone who played solo guitar on some of Bill Haley's Comets' early recordings including Rock around the Clock - Hendrix and Pete Townsend said this was a major influence on their interest in the instrument.

    Hank was great and so was Johnnie Smith and Roy Clark with that country jazz sound. I also love Willie Nelson's guitarist for several years Jackie King. Good stuff.

    Hank Garland was a major influence on George Benson. His "Jazz Winds From a New Direction " is a classic Another suggestion from another genre and decade but also criminally underrated is Michael Lee Ferkins. ruclips.net/video/OuXUEtKQVoA/видео.html

      Garland is perhaps best known for his Nashville studio work with Elvis Presley from 1958 to 1961 which produced such rock hits as: "I Need Your Love Tonight", "A Big Hunk o' Love", " I'm Coming Home", "I Got Stung", "A Fool Such As I", "Stuck on You", "Little Sister", "(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame", and "I Feel So Bad"

    His life was tragic. I have the movie that documents it. He was diagnosed (wrongly, IMO)
    with schizophrenia and given shock treatments which left him pretty much disabled mentally.
