The jury's out on the distorted rock tone for this particular song but it's nice to see a young guitar guy appreciating these masters - players whom we steelers revere but who are not that well known to young musicians. Plus he figured out a neat way to include Speedy's obligatos.

D'oh! Here's the link:

Cool playing!

Actually, I think he's using a fairly clean 'surf' sound here, it's just that his guitar is way too loud for the camera to handle, so it's the recording that's overdriven, not his guitar.

The distortion (wherever it's coming from) kinda ruins the whole thing, for me. Sad

You're right, Steinar, sounds like the audio is just off the built-in camera mic.

Here's another young Jimmy Bryant fan/player: <b>Click</b>

He's on the right track for the Jimmy Bryant sound: clean tone, no string bending, all picked notes and some pull-offs. No gimmicks, just good picking. Great job kid! All he needs now is a Fender single coil PU guitar. Winking

Agreed. That was great! I'd love to see the younger musicians get into some more hard core western swing and study guys like Bryant and Jimmy Wyble. I couldn't put together a swing band if I stood on my head and did the lindy hop because it's so rare to find anyone who knows how to play it.
