Perfection. No one is better then Lenny, he represents the highest ideal that any musician can aspire to. These old video's of him playing are priceless.

i had never heard of this guy untill i dug up an old vinyl record i found in a box given to me for free, the record is titled "guitar sounds from lenny breau" produced in 1969. its gotta be one of the most chill records ive ever listened to, i am now a fan

[taylorfusion]

He's got that Sgt. Pepper era look....

[pr10s]

Didn't look far enough back , but I'm sure it's been mentioned before, how much Gatton echoed Lenny. It's all just music and he just wanted to pull in as many different influences as possible. Describe your playing?! How do you describe stuff like this? If he said magical, he be pegged as arrogant but that's my word.

Just think what he could have done had he stayed off drugs. What a wasted talent...never achieved his full potential and should have taken swimming lessons too!
