My dad was a fiddle player in many bands his idol was Bob Wills as I grew up in the 70s he always tried get me to learn an instrument so at 58 I started learning guitar and just discovered Hank Garland.thanks guys for sharing 🙌🏼🎸
my best freind who was also my father , my life lesson and guitarist mentor used to play this when I was s kid , I remember watching how fast his fingers were moving and was amazed by it so naturally I started taking my guitar much more seriously when I got into my teen years , by then I was a good enough rhythm guitarist to actually play with his cover band which for me was like the best thing in the world or my life . anyway this brought back great memorys of him playing his strat , jag and teli cause he was a true blue fender guy 110 % . at 63 I look back now and am still amazed at the remarkable guitarists like chet Adkins, Roy Clark who by the way was a personal freind and fellow studio musician with my dad , but just nice to see that style of picking is still alive and being played by musicians like you guys . thank you for your vidio and giving this old cat a great memory !
Brent mason is the only guitarists that can take what Jerry Reed left behind it and make it more supersonic...and the guy playing the red tele is damn good to!!!
Great tribute to Hank Garland. Hell of a job . Most of the world will never know without Hank there would be no Hendrix. Sugarfoot rag came from Hanks finger exercises and a little theft from a guy a few years earlier - but it was an amazing technical display of pure F’ing talent. The Dixie Marie in Nashville tried to kill Hank because he found Jazz in Chicago and started playing with a black bass player and other members. And he wanted writing credit and playing credit at a time where u got one or the other only. Drove him literally mad and he was committed. Not to mention his wife cheated on him with a record Executive- his life was a country song - hell of a job boys - Memphis Tim.
Think country music radio would play anything like this? I cannot remember the last time I heard a hot handed guitar instrumental on the local Los Angeles country music station.
I saw Wild Heart which is sort of a docudrama about Hank Garland and it confirms what you said. I recall his brother saying (on NPR) how he thought Memphis had a hand in his death as well and the fire that really hurt him. It's not all sweetness an light regarding the Opre and Nashville music machine. Some of those boys can play very, very rough!
honest to faakin' kreist....2 thousand something hits.....Earth doesn't deserve this....these guys have no limitations. this is as good as it's ever been!
