[Soulmetoo]

Amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing +++++

[alfredo6766]

MAGISTRAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!

[creaturebotman]

Its amazing how a man can play a single note on guitar for over 7 minutes and still blow your socks off.

Even more amazing is Issac Hayes who sat down wrote the one note lead in the song and told the musician to "Play it like this"

Why? How? Because...

Isaac Hayes was a Baaaad Motha _____ !

[msmasterjam]

@creaturebotman SHUT YOUR MOUTH LOL!

[jackHNv]

Coolest use of a wah-wah ever!

[Megatrousers]

@jackHNv AGREED.

Awesome song!

[VVC64]

Outstanding what a musician and a terrific and wonderful guitar

The Black Moses Lives Forever

[Pogneman]

RIP

[vanswilson]

RIP my talented Brother. It is amazing that technology had come this far that the keyboards were able to duplicate all the sounds of the orchestra without having all the musicians on the stage. This is a classic performance!!!!! Thanks to whoever is responsible for posting the video clip.

[tmoin]

oui le grand isaac, q uand à la guitare je la trouve un peu envahissante,

mais l'ensemble reste de la bonne m usique

paix et fraternité

Skip Pitts' playing is devastating. There is no 'Shaft' without him! Love it!

[wanshei]

[Callan76]

Isaac Hayes live at Montreux Jazz Festival (2005) ... What a performance of the iconic 'Theme from Shaft'. The unique funk Of Skip Pitts' wah wah guitar (he played on the original 1971 recording) is absolutely sensational !! And the rest of the band is superb too ;-)

[Lucyzhere]

You are right, Charles "skip" pitts is awesome!!! Great video..

[jeromefreymond]

Charles "Skip" Pitts is a real guitar god. Look at him!
