Does anybody else hear that melody from the godfather at about 0:27? he re-harmonizes it in a way that tries to disguise it... or maybe it's coincidence.

Bireli is one magical cat!

@Orphen01 Very likely, yes. I've seen sweeping on videos going back to Chet Atkins in the fifties, Wes used them, too...back then, it was called 'raking', but it's the same thing. And not frowned upon by so-called technique "purists"....I've seen fingertapping that long predates Van Halen by many decades; neo-classical guitarists an easy half century before Yngwie...

0:55 Was that a sweep?

@ostrava05 Now I remember the name... "Il Padrino" by Nino Rota

Joe Pass who??? Proclaiming ignorance? Dude...watch Joe. And yeah...Bire'li is amazing. Better? Is water better than air????

There's a lovely competition for you! Joe Pass and Birelli. I agree with Eclypso, one might as well compare a Rembrant with a Caravagio and then argue the relative merits. And about the only man who could sit comfortably between Birelli and the Rosenbergs, or Al deMiola and McLaughlin and yet play a different style is Paco.
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Joe pass? Who? Lol. Bireli and Rosenberg are so far beyond anyone else it's not even fair to compare.

I wouldn't go that far. Joe Pass is one of the all time greats. So is Bireli. it's pointless at that level to try to say one is *better* than the other.
