Best Songs Ever

Yeah Tommy Emannuel is something else. He's one of three guitarists to be given the honourary degree of Certified Guitar Player (CGP) by Chet Atkins (a true legend).

Excellent videos to watch!!

Link doesn't work.

I love his music, thanks Turbo!

That's really good. I'm finding a lot of music I never knew about, this is great.

Ok, that's some scary trailer trash hair. They sound like Heart.

I fell in love with this brilliant David Bowie song (and his voice) when I was about 11. It's just about the best song he has ever made:

Schubert (and Fischer-Dieskau) rocks as well:

That made me think of two of my all time favorites

Major Tom by Peter Schilling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvHJ8OCfO9c&feature=fvw
and Space Oddity by David Bowie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxoxqvg3lB0

I don't know what's scarier in that video, his hair or those platform shoes.

Sorry. Direct linking to content is not allowed. Just highlight the link, choose "copy link location" and paste that into your browser's address bar. You won't be disappointed! The guy is incredible. I do a lot of boogie guitar and blues, and this guy's got some great tricks up his sleeve.

I have a student coming over this weekend (a young guy about 35 years old) who wants to learn some more blues licks, runs, and bending techniques. Since I can't play out anymore (asthma, migraines, and joint pain if I get around fragrances), I figure I've got to pass on some of this stuff. I'm not going to charge him, and if he is a quick study, I'll keep helping him. Other people helped me - pass it on.

Evo

I will do that.

I am loving all the links people are providing. I haven't been able to comment on every one of them, but this has really exposed me to some talent I was unaware of. Keep posting!

Hey big man, thanks for that. That is definitely some fine guitar playing. I sent it on to a friend who plays guitar and who is a fellow Joe Satriani afficionado. Satriani has done something similar while playing his electric guitar standing up.

Satiani's concert at The Grove in LA is on DVD. I strongly recommend it!


Erik Mongrain sounds a lot like Michael Hedges. For example,

boogie.wmv is 7.3 Mb - so use 'save target as' and save to one's HD.

And it would be wrong to not have this in there:

This has always been one of my favorite McCartney/Beatles songs, but never given the exposure it deserved. The lyrics are so good.

This is funny as he mimics the instruments (french horn) that are to be played.

David Bowie has gone through so many personalities.

I wondered what was so weird about this time frame (same time as he did Space Oddity), and my freind pointed out that his eyebrows are shaved off.

They don't have good performances of my favorite Bowie songs, so instead, here's a very tired "Five Years":

Definitely one of the best songs of the past five years:
