Awesome.

I saw him play many times in Sydney during the 80's. I always walked out of his performances with a big smile.

he's good but i am bored.

real music.... u probaly have britney spears in your music collection

Of course I do. I'm the one who bought 100,000 copies of her new single in Itunes just so it can be number 1.

It's the same people that will say how great a guitarist Kurt Cobain was.

incredible!

He's good but this isn't very entertaining, imo.

"It's the same people that will say how great a guitarist Kurt Cobain was."

He was a master of the power chord, a guitar giant if you will.

About -2:08 is phenomenal and more.

Despite adequate warning, I was not properly prepared. My head nearly exploded like that guy in Scanners. Absolutely wonderful guitar playing. Jealousy courses through my veins.

Technically brilliant, but it lacks...soul.

Seems like an appropriate place to ask though, who're the Sift's favorite guitarists? I like Johnny Winter and Duane Allman myself.

Rex Carroll, Marty Friedman, Matt Slocum (of Sixpence), SRV

And of course, the greatest of them all, one Mr. Kurt Cobain

I agree with some others. He's amazingly gifted, but it doesn't really draw me in. And while I can't play like this, I've known a number of studio guitarists who can play similar riffs. I'd like to see more of what he can do, though.

A wise man once said music is about the space between the notes as much as the notes themselves.

favorite guitarists?

If I had to pick one, probably Jerry Garcia, but the list of great guitarists I love to hear is way too long for this little box.

This wacko has more soul in his right hand pinky than most u musically stunted children could ever comprehend. You have been served, young haters.

like a redneck on crack

Tommy Emmanuel's a great master who's not just technically brilliant but is great at entertaining the audience. And being him, this was probbabbly improvised as he went along...a lot of people can play difficult riffs and strokes but few can arrange and entertain like Tommy has done throughout his career both in a band and not.

his amazing technical skill is undeniable, his entertainment value is subjective.

I would compare him to a typist who is very fast and accurate but hasn't really got anything to type other than "i'm a great typist!"

I don't mean to sound so harsh though, i mean he is amazing. It's just i couldn't be arsed to watch it all. hence my decision not to vote up or down.

MINK, jonny, nazdorvia, deathcow, all hit it-to musicians, this guy lacks the quality that developing a sound of one's own produces, but plays the manic, wreckless noodling card off, quite well....like everyone fawning over a guy like buckethead, or Stanley Jordan who can make dreamy sounds, and has an initial presence appeal, but the technical grace can only carry you so far.

Cobain? His tortured, fast-burning flame of soul, wash a white-washed cry for help, and for me, that over-shadows any potential for greatness of merit....just look at the ilk that treat Kurt like a god-buncha manic-depression candidates, coffee addicted and screaming for help in their own way, 20-somethings, with a fried internal navigation system....

another one really gets me pissed-Dave Matthews and his College Cult Crooning, ....that man's shit, runs together like a Jackson Pollock mural-and the kids who worship him wouldn't know good music if it collided with their flavor-of-the-week, world views.....

Doc Watson, Django Reinhardt, Merle Travis-
Jeff Beck, Zappa, Ronnie Montrose, yes, the Winter Bros., hell....Angus Young....whaddya know, most of these guys are either still alive, or lived long lives with smiles on their faces...not needles in their arms, or booze in their livvers.....
