Far and away the most technically proficient, skilled, unknown, and woefully under-appreciated guitarist of the early 21st century. If Monte had been around in the 70's he would be a legend and household name today.
Monte is always amazing! Only 10k view on this...so many people don't know what they're missing. If you have a chance to see this guy live, YOU MUST DO IT. Solo or with the band, you will be rewarded by being there.
This is the first version of his interpretation I heard, and also the first I ever heard him play anything; it certainly opened my ears. At the time it was a case of the best unknown guitarist in the world playing the best unknown guitar in the world, an Alvarez branded Kazuo Yairi (half the price of Taylors, Martins, Collings, etc.).
Superb - and beautiful!
That's how an acoustic guitar SHOULD sound

I did not, in a million years, think you could make an acoustic sound like that. And why has this guy not been signed to Sony?

Yes he is a very good and fast player, but had he been around in the 70's??. That's exactly the point. Impossible.
Without Jimi Hendrix and lots more (Michael Hedges too) to open the way for him, he would never play like that.
He took a lot of techniques from other players and made em his own, which is a great thing.
That's why Jimi and innovators in general are tops. They open paths for followers to walk on.
imo he is a little redundant but certainly an outstanding rock-bluesman.

One of the greatest guitar solos ever. Actually, let's just say it is the best ever. It's make even Segovia jealous, if that's possible.
It should've been recorded hi-def. Hopefully some technical people remaster this recording, making it available in hi-def equivalent.
Monte's interpretation is the best; it's better than Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan's...
