Lenny was the guitar man that I loved most as a young boy in Toronto at Georges,as a lot of us old boys hung out, terrific.Meanwhile back in L.A ( Lenny's new tune), with Don Thompson on Bass and Terry Clarke on Drums and Doug Riley on Keys.A great performance, and obviously memorable to this day. This was before Steve Kennedy and his lovely wife had their first baby.

Yipieee! I just got the DVD from Amazon! This is truly one of the crappiest quality videos I own, but well worth the money to learn more about Lenny. I recommend it to anyone who loves this clip. Here's another interesting fact. Lenny was unhappy with most guitars and so ordered a specific 7 string instrument to get what he needed. He got the ax he's holding that very day and as you see, mastered it and blew everyone away.

Lenny Breau - one of the few REAL masters.

I would have luv'd to have seen him tackle Debussy's Clair de Lune. With these harmonics and chromatic scales stuff he does he would have been epic.

R.I.P.

Just discovered him tonight.

Amazing talent.

Thx.

Actually, he's the man who invented great harmonics. Lenny is/was a legend and a brilliant musician. If you get a chance, check out any history or biography material you can find on him. He's really amazing considering he started out in country music.

@martinaxman, I always appreciate someone who has a comment that is truly interesting. Didn't know Lenny started out playing country - no doubt it's why he had admired Chet Atkins and played with him. Thanks.

@philipatoz Actually if memory serves, he used to play with his parents C&W band when he was 14. He got seriously into music and moved to more challenging styles. Kind of reminds me of John Fahey the way he just saw a way and followed it. Check WIki. There's a pretty good biography there.

@martinaxman, am a bit familiar with Lenny's history, his personal struggles, his mind-boggling tragic end. I love this statement he made: "I'd like to play sounds you can see if you've got your eyes closed." Lenny was an astoundingly gifted artist and a genius - so original, I'm just glad his recordings survive.
