Norman Brown's fast octave lines and scatting (not to mention being Black) may give the impression of being a Benson copy cat, but only guitarists who've listened and studied both artists know they're miles apart - both harmonically and technically - Benson being the more advanced t...

@blessingsgirl "What kind of fool will dislike such a beautiful song?"

A fool who can't go beyond basic power chords and the 1-4-5 progression.

@ilovealaska "This song alone is so much beter than all this rap bullshit music that is contaminating our youth these days"

You beat me to the punch !

@treatmentbound "Wow! It doesn't get any crappier than this for 70's schlock."

Compared to what?!?

@TheMusicsoulja

Norman Brown = Compositions have more modern R&B edge.

George Benson = More traditional and complex Jazz/Bebop guitar licks.

Unfortunately, heavy alcohol/drug consumption and diabetes don't mix very well, or Bud would probably be alive today. I know, I've seen him "party like a Rock star" many times in between set breaks when I knew him in Monterey. He was a great guy and never presented himself in a pretentious mann...

@andyrewx "And come on, who wouldn't be drowned out by Patti, with her lungs of steel? :P"

Not very many :P

@thenamesfrancisco " i hate when people try to play flamenco with a pick it sounds like poop"

The song played here by McLaughlin and Paco is NOT Flamenco guitar. The one in the link below IS a true Flamenco song - what's your opinion?!?

/watch?v=WFfB2JQmTCs

Impressive, but where are all the denigrating comments about playing Flamenco with a pick?!? I find it odd that Di Meola and McLaughlin get criticized heavily for using a pick on various videos with Paco - on songs that aren't even true Flamenco pieces, but nobody says shit when a well known Fla...

Damn Jacqueline, I almost thought that was John Taylor for a minute :)

@skitzoification

Oh sorry, it was a mistake. I must have been in a hurry and clicked on your username while I was scanning the comments and posted my comment on this video.

I agree. A lot of people are pretty ill-informed on the subject of AAS and aren't familiar with the concept of PCT

This video is the reason why Powerlifters and Olympic weightlifters are more highly regarded than Bodybuilders.

Welcome to the real world fellow YouTubers...:)

All 10 guitarists are technical monsters in their respective genre, but my top three are:

1. Paco

2. Wes

3. Tal

Everyone is familiar with Paco's tremendous picado speed; however, I'm impressed how Wes Montgomery plays those Bebop lines with his thumb without losing punch.

@dantheglassman642004

Marshalls ruled back then, but only because the Mesa Boogie Rectifiers were still in the making, and the Peavy XXX and JSX didn't exist lol

@AQColors "I play classical, and i have a brother who plays fusion and that sort of Al DI Meola stuff."

LOL...ROTFLOL...AQColors and I have swampland in Florida to sell you...lol.

You and your alleged brother don't play jack-shit - matter of fact, you two don't even exit - except within the c...

@tehryanx " You'd think with that many degrees you'd be able to count to 10."

A CHATTERBOT program that can't count to 10?!? Hard to believe.

@chocolateman85006 "Whoever disliked this must be deaf."

Deaf, or:

1. A clueless Rocker

2. A biased Jazzer who's exclusive to strait-up traditional Jazz.

Vintage, no-frills, pre-Breezin, Benson!

Nice crisp cymbal, and the snare has a nice tight sound as well. Your playing is very clean and in the pocket. Your drums are tuned perfectly - and you're SUPER-HAWT.

@myjizzureye "You have FEELING my god you are AWESOME!"

She LOOKS AWESOME as well1

@jasonwangjazz "why did George look so weird?"

Look in the mirror 30, 40, or more years from now, and ask yourself that question :)

@patrick20082008 criticize*

Critique or criticize - what's the difference?!? They both syntactically apply to surferjoe2000's post.

Her phrasing was pretty good this time, as opposed to some of her other solos I've seen on Youtube - and that porno hair and bod never misses a beat :)

@bluenotes001 "There is NO blues without soul, NO blues witbout feeling"

SOUL this and FEELING that. The bromidic use of those 2 words on YouTube is extremely vexatious to say the least. Just say her phrasing is off and we'll get your point.
