Bravo, Beppe!  Great song, great arrangement, great artist!!!

Beppe Gambetta is one of the most respected guitarists out there. He played this version with Dan Crary, a legend, at Kamp Kaufman and it got the greatest amount of applause. When he is friends with Norman Blake, he can do whatever he wants to.

I like his arrangement so much I think I'll learn it.

Always such a pleasure to here Beppe's interpretation and performance of this wonderful song by our great Southern master.

@letebaguere Wether he changed it because he couldn't do it or not is not the point

WOW! I knew he was a fantastic guitarist, but I didn't know he was also a great singer. Fantastic!

[sboulos99]

he is a brilliant guitarist

6 stars--not to take anything at all away from Norman Blake and Tony Rice, I think Gambetta captures the feeling this song wants to evoke better than the traditionalist versions.

Ok, this version of Church street blues is not so amazing, the Tony Rice version is the best ever heard ( better than the original one by Normal Blake), but you cannot judge this guitarist by this song. Gambetta is considered all over the world one of the bast flatpicking guitarist, and if he often plays with people like Dan Crary it means he's not " a load of crap". Look at some other vedeo and you'll see a great guitarist.

Have you ever heard this guy play the harp-guitar. You should. Dave Grisman thought him worthy company to record an album together.

I like his version of Church Street Blues. Listen to his appearence at the Woodsongs-Show together with Tony McManus. That's brilliant.

You critics are way too uptight. An appropriate comment to an artists impression your " revered " tune would be " it's not my taste. " Freedom of speech is a great thing, especially when it is approached with a little class & respect.
