AnneS Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Not enough time left to me for the practice I’d need. Maybe next pandemic. Good to see you back in these parts, Stu. Hope you are reasonably well and that the music is still with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Cascades of enjoyable variations delivered with an immaculate touch. No gap between man and machine. Just direct uncomplicated fusion. One listener seems to drop his lighter, , , probably dropped his jaw first. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I love how all the chatter stops about 30 seconds after he starts to play. The guy knows how to bend strings, doesn't he? It really makes you appreciate the L-bodied Gibson flat tops. Now, if I could only play my L-00 the way he plays his... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) That may be the most sped up tricked out version of that Willie Brown tune I have yet to hear. He does turn it into a show stopper. Willie, of course, was best known as a sideman for Charley Patton and Son House but he was a top drawer player who recorded, among others, "Future Blues" and "Make Me Pallet on your Floor." Anyway if interested here is the way Willie done it. 3 Willie Brown - Mississippi Blues - Bing video Edited March 26, 2021 by zombywoof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 At 2:35 he tweaks the tuning of his 1st string without missing a beat. This gave me knot in my stomach. Wowsers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 That is some truly special playing. I've heard a few (not many) players like that in different styles and two things amaze me. First is the ability to come with those ideas of what to play in such a rapid fire sequence and the other is like there just aren't enough frets or notes for them to play. The go all over the fingerboard and could go further if there was more room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 That little ditty he did at about 1:05 where his hand picked back by the bridge was killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) BK just emailed me. He's lighting his L0 on fire. Somehow, I feel he's picking up some new riffs too. Edited March 26, 2021 by jedzep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Great to see you in these parts, BBG!! I absolutely love Clive’s playing. It’s lyrical, clever, beautiful and mischievous. He’s criminally underrated, possibly because he is unshowy and doesn’t seem to have much of a social media presence, he just lets the music do the talking. I’ve never met him, but have had the pleasure of sharing a few festival bills with him over the years. He’s a sensational live act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSoxBiker Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 That was sensational. I think the object hitting the floor broke me from a trance. His little mischievous around the 1:20-1:25 mark reminds me of Igor in Young Frankenstein. He seems to have great fun doing his thing.
