Brian Setzer - Black Mountain Rag

[88napolitano]

Its an expanded,embellished rendition of "Wildwood Flower".In C. Beautifully done.

[miPekarek]

IMO blows away Watson in being more entertaining. watching Doc's version after this seemed to me so slow and less interesting... (not saying, that he's bad or anything, just, to me, less entertaining).

[elguitaro]

@miPekarek but have you seen the one with Jack Lawrence?

[bobbelan]

Nice hot rodded version of a great Chet tune! keep in mind naysayers, he is using A pick.

[oddood]

it's C\

[fedecomolly]

bad bad bad DOC WATSON EVER!!!!

[alijav091]

can anybody tell me what key hes playing in.. is it C?

[slaphappynamwen]

@alijav091 It Does Sound Like The key OF C

[alijav091]

@slaphappynamwen thanks! ill try it out and let u knw what key it is aswell. m a lazy bum

[Passthepie]

C F G

[marthus14173]

@alijav091 Listen!

[CornyTelecaster49]

@alijav091 its C definetly

[SunsetSix]

I wish he'd play a little slower but more cleanly.

[stratkiller86]

It may not be Chet's double, but atleast Brian has the decency to use a Gretsch. Rock on, Cat!

[thecathancegroup]

Too fast. Takes away the beautiful lilt and feel of a fine tune.

[Robinallenyukon]

where do I find the tabs, and how many pages would it take to print like a zillion notes ! LOL!

[GayForJohnnyDepp93]

@Robinallenyukon Try Notation instead ;)

[brucew44guns]

For going over 100 miles per hour---this guy does not skip a lick, great work.

[robwalmsley72]

If Brian Setzer, who is great, is voted greatest living guitarist, then Doc Watson must be supreme warlord tigerblood guitarist.

[Urankar3]

YEAH!!!!100*

[TheRailwaystationist]

Love it! But it's bit too fast for my taste :)

[cathiefredrickson]

Wow, Awesome playing!!!!

[totruful]

Chet Atkins he ain't...!

[murraypw]

@totruful Very true mate, they are both amazing and bring great things to music.

[MrTomanderson76]

@totruful I agree completely I like Chet's rendition much better simply because Chet uses his trademark bass line in it.

[spanker6971]

too fast. Brian's great but playing a song fast just to play fast loses the artistry of the song.

[inky960]

@spanker6971 Agreed.  Too much flash suffocates the substance.

[ThePopesmusic]

Dang!!!!!!!!! thats guitar picking!

[Rhondalove]

His whole body is one artistic expression... from the hair, the tatts, to the magic fingers.

[NovaScotian1992]

I could watch 10 mins of that.

Simply amazing. Making it talk!

[byan70]

a true musician

[zDrumz13]

most underrated guitarist ever. way under-appreciated.

[polonopales]

@zDrumz13 thats true!

[shortynshoni]

@zDrumz13 But also voted greatest living guitarist so thats something!!!

[inky960]

@shortynshoni Really? Who voted?

[inky960]

@shortynshoni Really? Who voted?

[7circlesofhell]

@inky960 it was a poll in Guitar Player magazine.

[flaviolima91]

@zDrumz13 unfortunately, that is very true.

[Seymroth]

@zDrumz13 Why have I heard that being said about around a hundred guitarists...

[0815Boing]

AMAZING!!!!!

*dumm de dada dum de dada.....*

[Kawasizzle]

Doc Watson rocks this out too .

[Qkumber1]

@Kawasizzle i spent forever trying to scratch your period off my screen.

[widdyhabb]

@Kawasizzle You're absolutely right. I have nothing against Brian Setzer, but compared to the Doc... naaah!

[ashbal30]

this is an awesome cover ! i love Chet Atkins version better, but this is just AMAZING ! It's fast, it's clear and the sound is great !! Cheers for Montreal !

[gregpiette]

Be nice if people would just leave their crappy cell phones in their pockets. ! They are not recording studios!!

[beseeingyou6]
