Mr. Johnson probably had no idea at the time he played this, that people all over the world would be enjoying this perfromance for years to come.

His right hand technique looks a lot like Benson's!

@@thekriskokid You guys nailed it. Henry gave a me a few lessons in the 1990s and he told me his left hand technique was based on Wes' and that he mainly used 3 fingers, rarely using the pinky. He also explained that he uses clear packing tape over the f-holes in his guitar, to limit feedback. You can see it in this video. Henry was really nice to me, and shared a lot of great, useful information and inspiration. Great guy, great musician.

@@spumpstein9374 I read in one of his albums commentary that he met Benson and Benson counseled him about how to play using with feeling especially by applying diatonics. In other words, different volumes in his picking not just scales without emotion. Scatting also helped him develop his technique.

Rich M. I was saying the same thing; but you know what? No man is an island. To be great, one has to have great influences. As of 'now' he is his own man and still fairly young. Plenty more to come. The brotha is great.

It is a Henry Johnson carved top/back guitar made by Heritage Guitars in the original Gibson factory in Kalamazoo Michigan using many of the original tools that Gibson left behind. They do great work. If you want a real Gibson L5, go get a Heritage Eagle. I think they are more authentic than the guitars Gibson is making today.

I am quite sure the bass player is Bill Dickens. There are not that many 7-string bassists out there and the insane bass solos are a clue, too (listen to the stuff that starts around 6:47).

I don't think I have ever heard anyone play Caravan at this level before , not even the Duke himself, the bass player annoys me though, it's as though he is trying to steal the show.
