How did I ever miss this video?! Pat's not just an outstanding musician, but he's a great singer as well. This is 100% pure awesomeness!

Pat Simmons- one of the good guys!

I had the privilege of seeing the Doobie Brothers in 1980 in Cincinnati, Ohio at Riverfront Coliseum. What a great show. Was probably the best live performance of any band I have ever seen; so pure, clean, and smooth. Pat is a wonderful and underrated guitarist, and seems like such a nice guy. Thanks for sharing this - very cool video.

From every interview I've seen or heard, Patrick is the real deal, down to earth guy, whose fame and fortune has not affected him. The type of guy you would love to meet and have a beer with!

Never got the credit he truly deserved. Pat Simmons is such a phenomenal guitar player

Probally one of The very best guitarist of the day!💗

Pat is a REAL guitar player

that's just one of the many cool things about the Doobies....Pat's finger picking colliding with Tom's chord chunking.....

An incredible guitarist, singer, writer, and a gentleman. Been listening to him since I was a kid in the 70’s. Love you too, Norm. You’re absolutely the greatest in the business and I’m glad you have recovered well from your downtime.

love pat simmons man....such a great player

i love how you can tell its not something he plays every day and pulled it from the repertoire and actually was a little surprised how clean it was all coming out.. a lot going on in this lick.

That's real American music with a connection to so many kinds of roots...Music might be the only thing that really keeps us together and ultimately saves us

Cannot help but smile when he looks up whilst playing the breakdown. One of the best!

That's how good you get when you have been playing as much as he has for the last 40 years or so. I love that style of music.

Patrick Simmons one of the greatest of all times so versatile and a wonderful singer

Pat , such a gentle soul ! Always fun to watch him play 👍

Pat is a true legend. I so enjoyed this. It's nice to know he is such a caring man, as well.

First picking song I ever learned. Had the complete Doobie Brothers song book. Did not know about tabs at the time but I wanted to play it as written. Took me ages to decipher because I couldn't read music. Today with the Internet, it's so easy, so simple. Anyway, thank you so much Pat, you're one of my guitar hero. And thank you to Norman and the entire crew. You guys are the holy graal of guitar shop, always gathering real legends between your walls

What a treat. Thanks!

Larry the Logger two step from their "Living on the Fault Line" LP Love Pat Simmon's pickin.

this video gives me very good feeling, thank you very much

He's a class act , one of the nicest guy! Super player!

Pat looks GREAT here!! Nice little guitar ditty, too! (Sounds a bit like Chet Atkins here).

mARAVILLOSO!!!! Un placer para los oidos y el alma!!!!! hace 47 años oì èste tema en un LP de los Doobie por primera vez!

Happy 70th Birthday Pat Simmons

I love that song and Pat plays it like no other...

Larry the Logger Two-Step, so good!

Pat is the best musical and attitude. Long live the Doobies

That was some great Travis style playing. I love it!

The chord changes in that melody are so beautiful, I had to find out what the song was.

Pat is such an excellent guitarist, songwriter, and all around good-guy! He is the only beginning-to-present member of the Doobie Brothers, who belong in the Rock-N-Roll hall of fame.

Smooth as buttermilk

huge fan of Patrick!!

this sounds better than the original with this guitar !!! can I use this video ?

great playing very cool :)

Larry Lee is from Molland's Badfinger, totally different band to Badfinger!

THANKS PAT

Hey! Nice to get your reply.Yeah..what a great guitarist Chet was..influenced millions of other guitarists along the way, too..and a truly nice guy. I actually got a surpise only a few minutes ago: a young 14 yr old guitarist in the UK I have befriended has been loving the stuff I've been sending him about "guitarists who came before" (including Chet) and he wrote to me saying he recently spotted a "Country Gentleman" in a guitar shop in England! There's hope for the younger generation yet! LOL

Pat's a great guy and a great guitar player!

Larry The Logger at the end there... lol love Pat

He's a good guy.

GOOD STUFF HERE PAT MAN SO, DID HE BUY THE GUITAR? CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042

Ragtime music......the song is "Larry the Logger Two-Step" from their 1977 Doobie Brothers album ......

Patrick, in the rare chance you happen to read this I want to let you know I've really learning from you over the last 40 years. That said, I've pretty much got this song down but would like to know if this is something you came up with or does it have a name? Also, how many times did you play it until you could play it fairly flawlessly? Many thanks! Rip

Very nice indeed.

Buy it Pat !!! It Fits!!

song?

Pat is playing a song he wrote called "Larry the Logger" if my memory serves me right.

Love me some Larry the Logger Two-Step!

nice

Great!

It does feel like Pat does not get the credit he deserves for being one great guitar picker.

What is the title of that song? I learned it years ago and I don’t even remember the title… people ask what is that and I can’t even tell them 🤷‍♂️🎸

amazing song, what is the gender of this song? Cantina Bar ? old blues? i would like to find more about this style

Is he tuned down a half step and why

hey....the guy to the right is named Larry......is he "Larry" the logger?

Sooo good ! What is that song called ?

ALIGATOU GOZAIMASU from Japan!

But can he play smoke on the water?

That gibson is so cool new it cost $6000 but that one is vintage so it cost more.

Larry the logger riff from Livin’ on the Fault line. Love his instrumentals.

F R E D O M ! ! !

dude also collects and rides vintage motorsickles....what else ya want

Typical with good players, when you think about it too much its more difficult, esp when he says he doesnt' know if he can play this part or not. When you put it on cruise control is just flows right out.

Teach me how to play like that! Without buying the guitar lol

Looks like a Gibson Byrdland TED NUGENT MADE THE BYRDLAND what it is.

can you doodle a little bit or doodle a little bit??

He is in b but playing in c

I guess Joe had the day off.

The thumbs down is a wanna be can't be.

One single ass hair of Pat worth more than all the garbage of metallica and assorted crap.

nice
