I was lucky enough to catch him live in the spring/summer at this outdoor ranch venue - absolutely mind-blowing. The most inspiring musical performance I've ever seen. I really hope he plays more live shows, it's a crying shame more people don't get to see him live. If you play guitar, or just like music, go out of your way to see him if you get the chance!
Wow.This is one of my favourite Fleetwood Mac songs and I've never heard it covered. .This guy is new to me but I'll make myself familiar with his work.Great stuff
Pneuman32 I first saw him about 11 years ago at a small club in Ft. Worth. It was the first gig his current bass player, David Piggot played with him. I watched him from no more than 15 ft away for 3.5 hrs. He noticed me checking him out, he would get eye level with me and rip it, fretboard right in front of my face. I have seen a lot of people, and played in some big shows myself, never have I experienced anything like that.If you haven't seen him live, please do. It's well worth the money!
There use to be a better version of this on youtube but I guess it was taken down can't find it Luckily I downloaded this on a old PC years ago it's HD
That is correct, he was playing his rendition of "World Turning", written by Fleetwood Mac, way before Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Back when Bob Welch was with them. Late 60's I believe
I say lawd, LAWD a MERCY the man can make that acoustic 6-string SQUEAL can't he? His sex life must be exhausting for his partner? And I mean that in the most positive way imaginable. ;-) John~ American Net'Zen
Yes: and yet ; not so; He always plays what can be called a "Juiced Acoustic" ; he's plugged in. He plays 'Electric Acoustic' ; if you had to label it. And , he's damn good at it. You can basically play an acoustic guitar just like an electric (obviously) ; you don't get all that sustain and other effects by just micing an acoustic . What Ralph said :"I just never get tired of this!!!!".
***** Wow, it took a long time to get to that thought ...! He plays an acoustic guitar as if it were an electric (with effects and all). Because of his style and the genre' he plays it comes off sounding more like an electric guitar than say a "Leo Kottke" type acoustic sound. I think that's what I was trying to say originally. The difference between just amplifying an acoustic guitar through a PA syst (no pickups) and running it through two Marshal 100 watts and some effects boxes (with pickups either installed or incorporated in the acoustic guitar).
