[robert19962010]

[Janoveks]

[BelgianBass]

@Janoveks 9gagfag

[Waidmann74]

The Brother of Les Paul!

[MochaMan247]

[Itelkner]

@MochaMan247 Haha... yeah. Jimmy Page is in some old 1970 Zeppelin footage (Royal Albert Hall concert) playing in a sweater vest just like that. Must be a little known guitar player thing...

[justhurryupduuuude]

@Itelkner great show. good eye

[Itelkner]

@justhurryupduuuude Thanks. Yeah, great show. Packs a WALLOP!

[komball2]

[boerni01]

Where can i get the tabs for this melody? Awesome <3

[noredak]

Wow this is awesome, he is pretty lucky to still be able to play at such an impressive age. You know with the relationship between guitarists and arthritis haha. Rock on Grandpa.

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

stfu fags.... grandpas playing.

[TheCrazedmuscian]

this guy is my new hero... I hope I'm still playing at that age.

[nsideroutside]

it's a Gibson ES137 (2004) played through Fender Blues Jr. by a great man!

[ColdToiletSeats]

pro!

[killenator5000]

He's gonna get soooo laid afterwards

[tpitman]

Thanks for sharing this. Not too many people his age who could still play up and down the fretboard like him, or really play at all. He seems more like he's in his early 80's from his looks and coordination. Gotta give him props for that argyle sweater, too!

[bennie3vids]

is this a christian song?

[ant1ph0n]

look at that cut. sweet guitar.

[Geepsterr]

@ant1ph0n This an ES 137 I think a fancy issue with gold plating and extra binding . When I did some dates on the road last summer with Uncle Ted he had one of these in addition to a bunch of Gibsons mostly Byrdlands and a Paul or 2 .Great axe: These are fine Guitars. I much prefer them over the double cutaway ES's 335. 345 355. Neck is not well supported and IMO they are silly looking. This 137 looks beautiful but make no mistake it is still solid in the through middle .

[ant1ph0n]

@Geepsterr hey, i learned something from youtube today.

[Geepsterr]

@ant1ph0n Well that's the idea : IMO the best thing YouTube is good for . We are here to teach and learn from each other .

[ridleman]

I'm lucky enough to call this gentleman my Grandfather, he started playing when he was about 12 and shared his passion with many of the grandkids. much love and respect to you Grandfather.

Randy

[anderson5908]

he took 2 aleve it last twenty four hours so he can keep rockin dedpite his arthritis

[MrWadestar]

Les Paul would be proud to see this, I enjoyed it

[TheSlaksak]

4 peeps dont have a life -.-

[TheGuitarGuy42]

Everybody who dislikes is just jealous, beautiful song

[MrAttilio98]

Ginius



[NiveK3827]

boring old man

[EmptySun]

this makes me happy to see :D

[MurdokDelure]

This was HEAVY back when he was a whipper snapper :D

[TheSerbianGuitar]

@MurdokDelure You made my day xDDD

[jjdaman121314]

How music should really be, non of this auto tune crap that gets played by ridiculous fan girls

[EnragedSlash]

this is great! it reminds me a lot of some Les Paul songs

[Jak77701]

Just a closer walk with Thee,

Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,

Daily walking close to Thee,

Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

[followthebeat66]

Django Reinhardt stuff....

[LychaonNightspell]

I Can't do anything but smile :)

[oziezob]

way better than 4 people

just a bit better than all of us

[goranade]

That is wonderful. He is a great player!

[salemboicot]

i cant even play that well at 22, lol. Stupid internet dulling my skills......

[lohrel21]

@salemboicot Take the time.. he's 92.

[keildouglas]

3 people are apparently deaf and therefore could not enjoy this.

[TheFireball100]

Very inspiring! I love that song.

[UBawesomeguitarist]

Terrible! Absolutely TERRIBLE! Didn't this guy get the memo? Today's music isn't supposed to have ANY EMOTION! All joking aside, this man is an inspiration. Keep playing great music!

[Slipknot2RIP]

reminds me of fallout

[serpentinecreature]

The song is "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" (the first one) The second one is "How Great Thou Art". This is wonderful! Thank you.

[creaturebotman]

How great thou arte..

In the tune of blues!

[helenljelly]

top top man seeing this man play makes you want to play (jusy started at 46)

[slasherz03]

How great thou art grandpa!!!.....

[tobias1234ify]

he is sooo coool!!!!!

[HRchoni2]

Wait what's the name of this song??

[FockerTheLopper]

He plays with his fingers because picks were not yet invented when he first started

[HeartOfPureRock]

@FockerTheLopper And also, some people feel more comfortable playing without a pick anyway

[joshua9312]

@FockerTheLopper They had picks back then.......lol...Its just that he learnt the guitar without using them.

[Geepsterr]

@joshua9312 Grandpa plays nice HUH: He probably stared learning Classical guitar which is all fingers. Picks are good for somethings but there is a level of control you get using fingers that is beyond pick . I use a hybrid holding a pick and using all the fingers too but mostly pick and middle finger .This fairly common in Nashville. Watch Albert Lee . Then Jeff Beck whom in recent years uses mostly fingers. Also check out Paco Delucia .OMG Look into the Bumble Bee Pick.

[joshua9312]

@Geepsterr Not wanting to come out as an arrogant ass here, but he's not classically trained nor does that matter at all. Being a classically trained musician, its easy to tell. Albert Lee isnt much of a hybrid picker either, though he does occasionally hybrid pick. You should see Danny Gatton, a real master of hybrid picking. I hybrid pick too, but it ain't easy hah but I'm at an advantage due to the classical background I have.

[Geepsterr]

@joshua9312 Oh you don't sound arrogant to me at all, Still but of course this guy could have started with Classical lessons & not followed it very far and that could have been 75 years ago . Seriously if you like the hybrid thing, get a Bumble Bee Pick and experiment . I think it will make it easy for you as it is for me. Worth a shot right ?

[metalqueen1980]

@FockerTheLopper  classic buddy, classic!

[WarJamm]

@FockerTheLopper Thigh pick man, red fancy thigh pick!

[sail1948]

[mmm3698]

[pisspissoutmyass]

[rrgert4]

[Blacksadback]

Respect.



[igotnothingman]

Absolutely amazing! Good to see a gentleman of his age still have the ability to play.

[prohumanbeing]

When he finished and the camera turned off I bet he said "Son, turn this dang Muthuh UP" and he broke into "Stranglehold."

[Bellerspitts]
