Gareth Pearson in concert - Ullapool Guitar Festival 2009 - Scotland

[XxTheLastAirBenderxX]

I watched for the dance moves

[phlr332]

what, no Ullapol ,this year?

Big shame..

[meccaollielord]

Has Tommy Emmanuel started dying his hair?

[darreneedens]

I love his playing, I am constantly listening to his music, I can only dream of such talent.

But some of these dance moves... I mean seriously... and he just seems to get so cocky... maybe its just me... don't attack me, I love the guy. I just found this hard to watch.

[TheAllieB12]

@darreneedens I don't really interpret the dance moves as cocky... I see it as him having a lot of fun playing the songs, and really getting into it. That's just how I interpreted it, though! I could see how you might feel it is the other way around... :o)

[longination]

@darreneedens dancing makes this for me

[helixmh]

@darreneedens Totally agree dude, amazing player but I couldn't handle seeing him live, He seems to really love himself far too much...This is just based on how cocky he looks when playing in all of his videos, I could be totally wrong but that's the impression I get about him.

[Joviron]

great!**************

[douzestrings]

@Joviron I think it is called moving with the music. he is feeling the groove. Some people sit down and play, this guy moves and dances with the music. I think it is in his bones. Cocky I don't thnk so........loving playing music and letting others know that he is enjoying it.

[Joviron]

@douzestrings I think you're talking to some other people..

Gareth pearson is appearing at Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff on Sunday 30th May as part of a NEWSOUNDWALES Welsh Showcase.

[ubernaffa]

Holy shiz... Some people really need to learn that there are other opinions than their own... It's sickening to see that even the slightest hint of negative comment gets bombarded with abuse.

Synco is allowed to not think this guy is the best thing since sliced bread, if he wants! I think Gareth is spectacular, but that doesn't mean everyone has to, Jeez...

[GibsonHummingbird]

You little star Gareth . Superb

[CirqueEnvol]

Overpicking??? Are you for real Synco?? That is what finger style guitar is all about. The kid is brilliant - take a look at Tommy Emmanuel and tell me if you still think Pearson is overpicking - don't waste your time taking it apart, just appreciate the virtuoso that he is man!!

[phlr332]

Oh no,

it's synco again. Boy, you really do have a problem.........and yes, I bet you would love his technical ability and also passion for having fun playing the guitar.

I suppose one thing, at least you are looking out for videos of this player.

[syncopater999]

He is a good guitarist and this tune is likeable as he doesn't go over the top with random inappropriate licks. He still overpicks though - just too percussive at times I'm afraid - would love his technical ability myself but allied to the tastefulness of Martin Tallstrom aka pinofluvius here on YT.
