[200000028]

@maxneu Haha thanks very much. I don't own any vintage gear, but that's crazy that we're 2 out of 3!

[maxneu]

Ok, so this is too weird. I have same Tele, in addition to the DR. You are like a me jr. (but much better at the guitar). If you have a 59 Fender Bassman, I'll shit a brick.

[freemancarl]

AWESOME tune Josh, but you've made it better. Cheers!! :)

[avettlover123]

I can't stop commenting on your videos. I watch your covers everyday and it puts a smile on my face. Man, you will go far and GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!

[alldogsrock]

Wow! So impressed. Love these covers! You have amazing talent. These songs are so uplifting to boot! :)

[bapbap22]

what kind of amp are you playing through?

[200000028]

@bapbap22 a fender acoustasonic junior dsp.

[Adamj618]

Where do you learn all of you songs, is it of sheet music or tab?

[888Murf]

As impressive as so many of your posts. I just love to watch you play!

[nuclearguru69]

[theodas]

A most excellent version of that classic old tune. Well done friend!!!

theodas

[thunderroadtrucks]

brilliant!!!

[hairynakers]

hes got a better guitar than me.. hes younger than me and he can play good..I hate him

[sitkatop]

its because of these freakin young kids turning classics into shit, 20 years from now they will be doing this with tons of distortion, as they put big dildows up there band mates asses..All freedom of expression today, insanity tomorrow.. I hate fuckin kids, may they all burn in hell.

[orbitalsilver]

@sitkatop It's kids that are going to pay the taxes so that you can get healthcare and someone to wipe your dildo filled ass. Also open a book, demographics specifically. There are more old people than young (consistent with developed countries). May you sir burn in hell. Peace.

[kasimovaya]

@sitkatop he can play it on whatever he likes. it still sounds amazing.

[DennisVernier]

Beautiful guitar playing! Great job!!

[sitkatop]

play it on an acoustic you moron

[Macatawaman]

I'm sorry--wasn't cannonball rag written for electric guitar? isn't that how merle travis played it?

If you're thinking of Fingerbuster, on the original recording, davey plays on an acoustic with electric gauge strings, including an unwound G. Seeing as as not all of us have this setup at our disposal, I did what i believed was the next best thing. I'm sorry if you disagree. you could have been a bit more polite, though.

[smudgeloco]

@sitkatop What a nice person you are! Did you take lessons being a boor, or is it a natural talent?

[RyanA7X]

MEEEE GUSTAAA MUY MUCHO!

[artistfood]

You are truly talented.You are going to go places with your music and style. Keep posting. Im loving it :)

What kinda tele is that? :)

[200000028]

thanks so much! its a mexican

[thevuduchild]

fantastic!!

[Herefortheguitar]

You Rock bud I'm glad to see someone even younger than me who likes this kind of music. Your a lot better than me too. Check mine out but I'm working on the harder version using your video for tips thanks.

[promagnum]

Beautiful!

[BALCACER]

Outstanding kid !!!! excelent work !

[dustinwoodard]

AAAAhhhh..... ahhhhh... Amazing!!!! I don't know what else to say... <3it ;)

[harrylook]

5 stars. love the ending. keep it up - you're going to score many hot women.

[gchamp3]

My friend, this is amazing stuff.

Your music just makes me smile, and that's about as good as it gets. Keep it up!

[wayfairing3]

Sounds great,good job,love guitar music.

[ItinerateWolfMop]

Damn dude. Did you rearrange fingerbuster yourself?

[200000028]

kind of--i was hoping to keep it close to the version on "the guitar player" but it is a bit different.

[ItinerateWolfMop]

Well you did a damn good job. The smooth transition in this medley would make it hard to identify the different parts unless you were already familiar with both pieces. I have yet to try arranging any of Davey Grahams songs but lately I've been experimenting with his ideas on modal tunings and trying to get eastern sounds out of the guitar.

[haimcito]

great job man, where can i get the tabs, greetings.

[FelixBaeton]

Hey man, which version of Cannonball are you going from? I've heard so many but I think that I like yours the best.

[200000028]

its kind of my own rendition, really, though I based it off of a merle travis video i saw here on youtube. i use 4 fingers instead of two.

[LoiNard]

you are really one of the best youtube's guitarist continue

[flatpicked]

hah!!!! great!!!!!

[shaneboylan]

Davy would be proud.

RIP Davy Graham.

[jothekid]

yeah good job man!!!!

[absurdicion]

hey respect! you look like a totally perplexed school-boy, but whow you can play!

[marcelodomar]

You're Django!

[hideawayblues]

What model acoustasonic amp are you using?

[200000028]

the junior dsp.

[WorldsFinalEvents]

Hey, it's young Paul Gilbert!! lol

[hansolo1106]

Amazing playing! You're great.

It's always good seeing younger guitar players playing something called music, and not just metal riffs in drop A (don't get me wrong, I like metal, but nowadays everybody only plays metal).

So, keep up the good work!

[sr1129]

ur pretty bad ass no doubt

[99ZARDOZ]

thats pretty impressive. I don't mean to be condescending but for your age you are an incredible player.

Well done for checking out Davy Graham as well who was pretty damn good at his peak.

[ManganeseMan]

Great Pickin!

[SolidSonic02]

Wow, Josh, that's freakin' great. You should definitely bring your guitar to Thanksgiving and Christmas at grammy's!

[jjk717]

Great playing - you might want to make your bed before you shoot your next video though. ;-)

[momitul]

haha wow! i remeber you always wanted to play the banjo...i kno it's not a banjo but it sounds like it, :)

[Boondockflyfish]

EXCELLENT !

[ledzeprox666666]

Dude, we gotta jam again sometime.  Incredible!

[zoeplankton]

[toothacheboy]

Nice to hear you again, and nice to get that little bit of introductory talk at the start.

[michellev222]
