I could practice every waking minute for the rest of my life and still have less talent than Ed Gerhard has in his pinky.
His version of Imagine is beyond incredible.

Funny I was reading "The Tao of Mandolin" today. It was about how to achieve Wu Wei and how so many great players have a complete look of effortlessness when playing. This video is the epitome of what was
being described/taught.
Mac, thanks for posting. |

Wonderful player. Wonderful song. Wonderful guitar.
This is the Breedlove I GAS for. I had the chance to trade for one a while back and didn't do it. I even played the guitar and loved it - the most amazing bass response I've ever experienced from an acoustic guitar. Should have done it... Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a

When I have played them I have always thought about the amazing bass response without the sound being muddy. I wish I fit around it a little better.
