George was Lenny Breau before there was a Lenny Breau.

The finest, most masterful musician - consummate technician and analytical genius. We miss you everyday George. The Gretsch Van Eps Model, with moded pickups, was my main axe for many years, one made in 68, one in 69.

Just for info: it is a Gretsch George Van Eps 7-string guitar - otherwise I agree with you: without words..!

@simguit Not sure about underestimated: any intelligent player who's listened to Van Eps is aware that he operated on a level of technique far beyond most of us. I've never heard of a guitar player aware of Van Eps who didn't basically acknowledge that he was a master.

Thank you so much for putting this up! Pure gold.

@fiddlercrab3 You also can't drive a car without a car!

A master. I had the pleasure of seeing him live in 1966. Man, could he play! Among the greats of Jazz guitar.

@soup2nuts1 So the question you gotta ask yourself is this, do you think jazz is boring, or have you not been listenin to the enough jazz?
Well have you... Punk?

I find jazz usually boring - but here at last I'm hearing all those inner voices moving - very cool!

just astonishing, Van Eps and his Lap Piano... :D



My two cents: You can't paint a painting without... paint.
