At 1dillontaylor his picking style is somewhat unique... He is picking from under the strings with the pick wedged between the thumb and index finger with the thumb locked... Took me about a month to get it down but it's easier to play faster using this picking style
George Benson is better at playing guitar than tiger woods is at playing golf. I had forgot about 'Bad Benson' i listened to it for almost all of my senior year in high school
This type of guitar playing its much more difficult than all those Satrianis,Vais, Malmsteen,

You gotta check out 'Bad Benson'..Ron Carter, Phil Upchurch, Kenny Barron..Need I say more..Each one a legend! The album is most definately 'Bad'!
