Guthrie has always been known to say that he was never a full-on 8-finger tapper. He doesn't like the technique that much along with sweep-picking. And yet, when he did it at exactly 2:56 - 2:59, it seems like that's what he has been doing all his life!haha!
Definitely the greatest guitar player of his time, along with Ron Thal, Mattias Eklundh and Kiko Loureiro.
When will guitarists (and guitar fans) learn? It's never about "Who's Best?"- because no-one is. It's about "Who's Good?"; there is no "best"- it's a redundant argument.
@GuardianOfFate12 Weird, he was at the club before his performance in İstanbul and when we went in earlier and just said hi, he replied and we chatted a while. Maybe he really needed a drink after his performance in your case :) In any case, whenever I see this guy play he just blows my mind with his accuracy and his approval on the Cantrell Wah further convinces me to buy one since Cantrell has already one of the best wah sounds in the business since 60s..
@fendermac Oh yeah :O it is :O !! But the old Holborn your talking about are the milds :\ !! The regular stuff is sold in a dark blue packet too :\ !! Google it :) !!
@haloshredder ...Things have changed since my day.When I gave up some years ago there was only one type of Old Holborn (and Golden Virginia if you wanted lighter or Boars Head for the thrill seeker).I don't miss smoking but I do miss rolling 'em
@haloshredder ...Give up before you get the hang of it and spend the money on strings instead.Lol....sorry! I don't ever usually tell people to quit....You carry on.
Guthrie playing Frank Sinatra at the end! He's playing my way! holy shit that was a fucking surprise.

Rotosound makes nice strings.
I'm not sure what he is doing in a Dunlop video. After filming this he started using a Cantrell wah so I guess that's something.
