I think this is the best rhythm guitar playing I've ever heard in my entire life

Just incredible. This guy has chops you will not believe, and yet he manages to stay totally musically focused and just grooves on this like the world is going to end tomorrow. I'm stunned.

What do you think of that solo?

Hello! Good to hear from you. I have that video running now... amazing. That whole 'hot house' type of playing has really made a comeback (all the 'Django' type 'gypsy' bands, like Hot House Detroit, etc.). Pretty amazing!!!! Thanks for the clip!

Hope you are well!

that's great! - his dynamics and rhythm make him sound almost like a full band...

oh and the solo is brilliant too.

I love the way that even when he's really going balls out on that he never for a second loses track of where the changes are. I think that's what give it that "whole band" effect mentioned here, it just keeps everything together perfectly.

I'll have to say, I've never seen anything quite like that; it almost seems sped up at points!!
As good as that guy is, he'd be better if he'd ever smile even the tiniest little bit

I've played that song many times in the little dixieland band I work with sometimes.
The clarinet player is a retired broadcast engineer who used to be in the US Army band, back in the 50's and had worked with some of the biggest guys in swing from back in the post WW2 era.
And of course, University of Missouri's mascot is the tiger, so, there's that...

Cool Stuff, rhythm guitar is a lost art. It's amazing who many younger players I see that don't even no bar chords much less second and third position voicings.

This was linked to on the same page. It's the master Chet Atkins doing the same song in what looks like the early sixties.

Smokin!

The great guitarist Rick Haydon, who is the guitar professor at the very good guitar jazz program at SIU-E (in Southern IL) makes sure all his students are well versed on this style of playing (I guess a bit more of the Bucky Pizzarelli sort of comping versus the more 'gypsy' thing of this clip... but same general approach... time, time, time, and fat comping and rhythm).

It is cool that when playing with those graduates, the time is always great... rhythm and soloing.

Dang, that was nice. And I agree -- rhythm guitar is a lost art.

Awesome!
You can hear the audience gasp when he introduces the song.
