CG- he is really good - I like that style of playing.

Fave of the bunch was nobody home, but all were excellent.

the one comment on the kiling the blues song said  " Chris introduced the song once by telling the story of performing it live and having someone come up to him afterwards and say something along the lines of, "I don't think I have ever heard that song performed more to my liking."  Chris responded - saying  that he didn't write it and that it was written by Roly Salley, to which the commenter responded, "I know, that's me."

Thanks for sharing it.

No worries - I would assume musically there would be changes b/c I'm pretty limited in my guitar playing - not really a musician like all of you good fellows and ladies on here.

speakng of that  -  hmmmmm    we have not heard from our good friend Jan from NZ of late .     

Thanks Graham - I look forward to hearing how you play it.

Thanks TF

I was just thinking about how hard it is for someone to give their heart completely a second time when I wrote it..

Now if only I could actually sing and play  what I write
Thank you again for your kind words.

I quite agree with TF !
West is good - looked like a great venue. The dancers added to it.

I need that invisibility shirt !
Thanks for sharing     

Guitar slapping -  I have no clue how to do so but it adds to his performance.  Quite a unique way to play guitar.
It seems strange to me ( but I don't much about playing guitar) to see both hands playing on the neck as well.

Thanks for sharing TF     

THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER  WRITTEN HERE ON CHORDIE IN MY HUMBLE OPINION RUSSELL !

Short, to the point, clear message, perfect rhyme scheme.
Put that together with a musician who is talented and right in his wheel house bc he is playing what he loves - and you've got a fantastic song production !

Superbly done Russell - if this was put out by a famous band it would go high on the charts !

Thanks for sharing it.

He is excellent. Thanks for sharing     

I believe the word prodigy should appear somewhere in the assessment of this young man !

It appears to me that he is in love with the instrument and plays it as such.
There probably aren't too many humans that can play like that.
What a wonderful performance !

If I could play anywhere near that level, I'd quit my job. 

Thanks for sharing.

Well written Scott !
I can follow the path of the poem perfectly from all the episodes you have described.

I think it would be great if you stepped out of your metal genre for a song and played this ----  wait for it----

I think as a jazzy slow song. In my head the lyric speaks so much that I think a jazzy sound would do it great justice.

I don't know  if that makes sense to you. But any way -  excellent poem.

Nice playing Richard

You look so relaxed and comfortable playing that song. It sounds terrific!
Well done sir !

Jim     

Good one Phill !!

Thank you

I have played it like that -and I like it- but then with my crtappy recording system you can't hear me singing the lyrics. ( which actually might be a good thing now that I think about it!

Thanks for giving it a listen

Jim
