    Love how he keeps it soft and not overpowering the song. It’s light and just adds to the feel of the tune.

      @endokrin7897 6 месяцев назад +9

      Yeah! And it has just enough of the main line from the original, so you know it's related. Just a few notes to tell you it's ok, he isn't gonna screw up the song.

    These are the two best performers alive. They never overplay and they are modestly appreciative of each other's talent and growth through the years. I know there could never be one " greatest", there are so many virtuoso guitarists. These two have continued to develope both writing and performing. What a complimentary solo to a very sweet song.!!!

    Even blindfolded you can tell it was Mark playing that solo, his style bleeds through in every note and inflection.
    Also, you can tell that’s a real 59’ Les Paul because there’s still uneven red near the selector switch from where the price tag used to sit, blocking the UV light.
