Really nice job on a really difficult Jerry Reed song. I've heard this song since 1964 when Chet did it on the Guitar Country album. It takes some talent and courage for a young kid to go out armed only with his guitar and his wits and entertain like this. But someone please point me to an American kid who is doing this sort of thing.
while you're slobbering over this kid's amazing talent, take a moment to pay homage the the even bigger talent - Jerry Reed. Playing something is one thing, but writing this was a act of a guitar god.. and he did 50-100 like this!
why compare him to someone else??? That proves nothing, most of us know jerry is a good guitarist, the youtube video is about a kid, not jerry..... Its unfair doing a comparence man
@bjjforme It's unfair trying to compare anyone to Jerry. He was the Django of fingerstyle guitar. His tunes will be played for a long time to come. It's nice to see young players digging his stuff. I don't care much for these pumped up versions of his tunes.
this guy is a phenom for sure and so young great things to come from him of that I am sure. i cant wait to see him on Friday July 31st at the Can guitar fest.
wow...what a great find...great to listen to and great personality to go with it. Would love to see him live.
