Please dont get me wrong .. Monte is one of my favorite players of all time .. I
just wish he would slow down sometimes ... lol .. He plays such beautiful melodies but they go by you so fast it's hard to digest ... the man is a complete MONSTER !!!
Romeo and Juliet is one of my favorite covers Monte does. IMO he owns this song. Nobody does this better than Monte - and I'm including Mark Knopfler, who isn't much of a singer ;)
Watching this and the first video, I am blown away again. He and guys like Tommy Emmanuel are the acoustic guitar gods of this age. Incredible performance, and his singing is better than Knopfler too.
It took me ages to show him to play all that :-) (I wish)

A good piece of wood, six strings and Monte' soulful voice and hands... maybe there's no better way to express what live is all about.

Monte is just great!!! It is a shame a lot of people who love "guitar music" do not know who he is. A true virtuoso.

A quote I heard my brother use after 2 guitar-playin' friends saw Monte play:
Dude 1: "I gotta go home and practice!!"
Dude 2: "I gotta go open a bait shop."

hes amazing. he'd probably be a sick metal guitarist too. but i think his acoustic playing style makes his ridiculous speed unique.
