There you have it folks. It's guys like Barney and Joe Pass who keep guitarists like myself humble, and happy to be so. Barney is just swinging and funking up a storm. Man, this is too good. Thanks!

Its Ive grown accustomed to her face- from My Fair Lady. When I heard this performance, the hair stood up on the back of my neck. Perfect rhythm, tone, time, no mistakes. Thanks for posting. This is one for the ages. I could study it for years.

@Modes9 everything you said is valid except the last part.

Starting from the Wes solo arrangement, then . . . Wow!

oh yea,... nice playing...
In a world where everybody else is trying to be a single note soloist, it's great to hear a guy rip double stops and three and four note chords. Barney's way of doing things is becoming a lost art and it's really sad. People need to be reminded that the guitar is a chordal rhythm section instrument first.
