  • Man, this guy sucks! No, I'm honestly joking. (ha) He's incredible. However, I probably wouldn't have had an exposure to Gary if he didn't perform with Jeff Buckley during his early career.

  • Superb!

  • i'm sorry jeff did that to ya.

  • thats one long thumb - lucky to have it. bass notes right over the sound hole, fingers right behind it = great tone

  • It sounds like a twelve string.

  • Too bad the sound is so aliased... such an amazing talent.

  • fuck hes good

  • I saw him play live a few years ago - he was great... I had no idea he had these skills though - and I think it's good trait that a guy doesn't always have to show off his speed and flash. He seemed to be playing just the 'weird' shit he was into that night - Chinese tunes and such... And he did what became Jeff Buckley's 'Grace' too, which was quite special

  • he picks so quick it kind of looks mechanical

  • can hear sme buckleyesque chords in there - jeffy was certainly influenced

  • MY MOMMA SAYS OBAMA!

  • gary is a huge musician... jeff was he's best partner ever.
