Andrew Lardner plays "Stealing" by Leo Kottke. This version corresponds to the way Kottke played the piece in the early 70s and was transcribed from an early live concert.
Wow, that was so much better than what one can usually expect from a guitarist on youtube! Very well done! My only criticism is that it could be played with a bit more "bite". This sounds very safe, like background music, while Leo always sounds like he's trying to tame some ferocious wild beast. But I only say this because you seem to have mastered everything else. Again, amazing job.
Andrew, all that is to say has been said, congratulations! This is where I never will get. This piece makes me shiver when you play it as it does still after 35 years of listening to it from the hands of its composer.
great playing man!

I saw Kottke play a few times in the 70s and early 80s. Thanks for posting, as it takes me back. GREAT job - beautiful picking!

I want a world where I can shred without using the thumb on my left hand. Please? I guess not.
