  • Its not the guitar bro, its the man who's playin it. The best music can be made with the poorest quality instrument if it is in the hands of a master.

  • this is just sick...love to watch him smile while he's playing such a heavy groove....he makes it look so easy, but it's difficult to replicate....love rl

  • he plays the guitar like a Boss...

  • @ragu0686 i wonder how long it takes before people realise comments like that just aren't funny.

  • 2 people dont have they jumpers hangin on the line

  • My favorite RL song. Love this man. Wish id been born a little earlier dammit.

  • @TheSpottytoad Thanx for the 411...this stuff is gold.

  • My all time favorite RL tune right here. Those Kansas boys Moreland & Arbuckle really tear it up big time. Witnessing them break it down with Dustin Arbuckle's blazing harp work is incredible.

  • @caintuck2 Thanks for reminding me to get back on this, I haven't practiced it for a while. I actually learned it both ways, and to me the nail sounds better on most guitars because its got a high pitch, but I really think he's using his thumb and just has some crazy callous on it. I built mine up but it took a while and I still couldn't get the sound like I wanted. The notes are all correct, and the swing rythm is good, but the volume and timbre of the notes sound a little off.

  • @Chaduke The Man is playing a whole drum kit on an acoustic guitar! I've been working on it too for a while, not so much to copy this tune; just to incorporate The Man's whole rhythm/groove thing into my own playing. Good luck to us both; we'll need it. Is it the thumb or the index with the back of the nail on the off beats? Oh well, back to the woodshed...

  • Who is disliking this ?!

  • from 1978 to 1984 in a couple of clicks@c . Wow@AGE
