fingerpickers around.

[VulgaroPerfect]

Cool ! \m/

I never cease to be amazed at just how much talent one person can posess, and it sure is nice of them to share with us folks who have so little of it musically. Great playing here, very enjoyable.

Its a guitar not a banjo! Ha! This is sweeet!!! I haven't seen many guitarists play as rapid as that with it still sounding good. This is nice. Very nice!!!!

Ray is so smooth! Would sure love to see him play his version of The Armed Forces Medley!

O:48 to 1:01 he is channeling the Lenny Breau chord and harmonic style, the shifts into Chet style. Nice picking on a nylon string.

Ray, thank you so much for signing the song I wrote for Chet that the Short family was circulating! Yours was one of the first autographs I saw! I am a fan!!!!!

It tickles me to read some of these guitar wannabes comments criticizing the likes of Atkins and Cummins when they wouldn't even be allowed to lick their boots. Ha! Ha! Ha!...!

Mighty fine pickin'!

Never get tired of listening

@matt1284508 I don't hear the boo boo. I listened to Chet's version and even he missed notes from time to time. If it were perfect, it would be created by computer. Glad humans still are able to make music.
