Seriously, give him that guitar!

Make it two

He’s a hell of a guitarist. Not many like him around 😳

@@brunoerckmam5070 u clear haven't heard of Tommy Emmanuel cause that's he's idol , check out Tommy Emmanuel buddy

@@miatovich8539 lol Tommy is one of my biggest influences, man. Peep my channel for a sec.

Yep. With wonderful key changes.

Especially the sound engineering!! CME is still figuring out the baby shapes sorter game, if you compare quality of sound

That would be Jon Roncolato and Keith Cypert

@@eky I've posted a few comments on CME videos basically "wtf gais?" re: their awful recording/tone. Got panned pretty solidly. Different class of customer I guess. Ones with functioning ears seem to prefer Carters!

@@cgavin1 A few videos of CME have had great sounding demos. For the most part though, CV are on another level! I feel i'm sat in the room listening, as oppose to a thin nasaly sounding demo you mostly get on CME vids. Sound is GREAT in this vid!!

@@RiperSnifle CME took a nosedive when Joel Bauman stopped doing the vids. His vids were always very professionally put together. Great set, lighting, impeccable recording and usually an expressive composition. The new fella is a great guitar player but that's only 1/5th of the presentation. Just my 2c. I have no idea if Joel still works there or what..

lol nailed it , been playing for 20 years , saw him live in the basement in Sydney a few years back and was one of greatest musical experiences in my life , his brother on guitar , his sister on bass and his childhood friend on drums , all phenomenal musicians in their own right but he is something special . I woke up shell shocked but also so inspired

Inspires? No, disgusted. Been playing 40 years and i feel like quitting. This is how i always wanted to play. I can't do half of what he does and it's like he's jus taking a walk...

Well, just check his KZfaq channel, and listen to his whole journey through guitar from the beginning in piano till today, and you’ll understand it’s not just talent, but extreme work passion and dedication. That’s how you can become a crazy guitarist.

@@elrafa782 I have hung out with people who grew up with him told me crazy stories of his work ethic it's insane yea no doubt he worked extremely hard . Tommy Emmanuel was working with him which also had to have helped his playing tremendously. All that aside people work hard and can not achieve this level just as you could work your ass off night and day guess what you ain't going to beat LeBron James at basketball or beat Usain Bolt in a 100 m race . He is that kind of special imo . The combination of talent , natural gifts , and extremely hard work .

@@TheGuitargod2269 yes man, i know work is not enough, but it is mandatory. Often we complain about our playing, but do not work enough to reach our goal. I’m one of these 😉 Of course JR is talented, no doubt.

so much agreement .. .

I know...they should just give it to him!

Agreed. But one if not my favorite of Joe's compositions is "Out Alive". kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eN1dnpCa37SmmaM.html

All superlative, but that baseline throughout - jaw dropping. Elegant and snappy as hell at the same time.

`You be damned profane.

And Tommy Emmanuel.

That would make a great Bandname:) Magnificent playing and tone too. Does it come with the grooving bass lines?

The 1st to 5th fret reaches are just so god damn casual you almost don't even notice them! (Edit) Went back to the tape to check, sorry I was wrong 1st to 6th fret (around 2:28). I just did just that part of it and I need to lie down now!
