John, the day after I first heard your rendition of Cavatina I had my monthly trip to my VA Hospital for treatment. It usually takes me a hour and a half each way . That day I must have spent thirty dollars in extra data playing your rendition. I can't stop listening to something so beautiful!!!
+Norman Kozlowski That is quite a compliment, but I hope that the effect of the number is helping you to cope with whatever you are going to the hospital for and has some remedial effect for you. Many thanks, John
Beautifully done, and I love watching John Skelton's videos. I was mesmerized by his rendition of 'Sleepwalk' a few years ago and so wrote to him about it. He sent me a copy of the backing track that he used to play Sleepwalk so that I could learn it. After a long time trying to emulate him I did find a passable version of 'Sleepwalk' but I could never play it as smoothly or sweetly as John did. He's a fine musician! Love his Buddy Holly, Hank Marvin, Mark Knopfler red Stratocaster too.
@crlguitar1, I hate to ask with John being gone but could you share John's Sleepwalk backing track. I am keeping it alive here in central Oklahoma. I just found John, emailed him about it but was unaware of his passing.
I was re-directed to this after listening to Hank Marvin and his son performing it. Very glad that I did - a lovely version. Thanks for posting, it is now in my favourites, along with Hank Marvin's version!!!
John, I really like your version of Cavatina, I play the classical version, but, as I started to paly guitar by the time of The Shadows, iI enjoyed your interpretation and sound. . You play it beautiful, clean, with high sensibility. Congratulations Man!
Thank you. I really enjoyed your rendition of Cavatina. This has been covered many times but I think you did a really great performance. I may watch this video many times!
Excellent performance! Your really special touch is clearly reconaissable in this how in all other your performances. Good! Go on John, play again! Waiting for your next! Enrico Porazzi.
It is nice to hear a guitarist play a gentle song with feeling. A Stratocaster is a cool guitar when not played Thru a lot of distortion stomp boxes. Good job.....I could Hear hours of your instrumentals. Thank you!

This came over on email, but didn't appear on this posting, must be a bug in the works somewhere ??? Anyway, thanks for the great comments. If you enjoyed the performance then that is all the reward I need. Many thanks. Regards, John
Hi John, Fantastic rendition!! You have a beautiful touch on the strings and a lovely tone from the Fullerton '62 reissue. I really enjoyed the video. All the best, James

Juggalo5588 has made a comment on Cavatina. (Theme from the Deer Hunter)
My... John you are a profound guitarist. Your notes hit such emotions, and your picking is so clean and precise. You don't lose your melody on rough contact, your chords and changes come across so smooth, and your overall performance was such that I honestly I found it both moving, and beautiful. Thank you for your performance.
A great interpretation of this Stanley Myers beautiful tune. Well John the 13 thumbs down are obvously not musical. I really admire your bends which are spot on and your fills well put together, keep up the good work I love it.
Thanks for the reply , John . I agree , if you know your chord structures , it makes playing lead & improvising much easier in my opinion ! I actually love playing the rhythm part to this & other Shads classics as well as lead . Once again , keep up the good work . Regards , Nivrama .

what can I say? I used to work with many stars in 80s and 90s sound and lighting also done a lot of dj work around England too! and I tell you from what I've seen from your covers you have a very very natural talent I'm not really one for cover versions but I love it when I come across pure talent! I have a very very special friend who is very famous also he played the grand old oprey nashville and won many music awards his name is Charlie landsborough from Birkenhead Liverpool. now he has some excellent guitarists with him on tours and also on his studio albums and I tell you this? you are very very talented and you deserve much recognition for your covers. I would love to hear you do some gary Moore covers as he was one very very talented man too! Anyway from one John to another John very very well done and it was a pleasure to watch you play? keep at it and follow your dreams my friend!!!
Hi Johny, I thought I had replied to you 4 weeks ago but there is no record of it here. Thank you for your kind words. I have played with a lot of big names too and have known a few ''sound guys' who really do a great job which can make or break a performance - you know what your talking about. Best, John
