Oh...the Gretsch

So.

I listened to this, and there is a wistful sigh throughout. I love the lyrics, the guitar work, the rawness.

Now watching the guitar playing, he is emulating 2 guitars with the way he picks in between close to the bridge for emphasis, and fill close to the fretboard. Really excellent work.

Great to listen to. Jerry Miller is on the Gretsch. From Wikipedia: "He is #68 on Rolling Stone 's 2003 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time, ahead of Eddie Van Halen (#70), Johnny Winter (#74), Robbie Robertson (#78), David Gilmour (#82), Neil Young (#83), Robbie Krieger (#91), Angus Young (#96) and Leigh Stephens (#98)."

Funny how I've never heard of him. But he impressed me mightily on how a guy can take a simple setup, and fill a room with his style and (obvious) talent.

Nice playing by Jerry for sure.

Just had to ask how in the out of tune hell did Neil Young end up on a Top 100 Guitarists list?

I didn't know who he was either. I play a number of Gretsch guitars so I was intrigued to find out who he is. Great player.

Wow! That was really nice. Great smooth chording and fills. I like the dynamic differences in the different strumming locations, seems to make it just float along. Well done!

Yeah, that caught me too. It's a pleasure to watch. And I learned some things too.

Loved it. Gretsch and a Bigsby. You gotta earn it to do it right.
