And you think you can play the guitar.

You have to be good friends to do this.

That there is some good guitar pickin'.

[cabinetman]

Very talented guys. But, IMO, the late Andrés Segovia could make a guitar sound like that with just two hands.

[Uncle Cracker]

How come we never saw Roy Clark and Buck Owens do that??

[Alex Franke]

Great video, OpaDC -- thanks!

And Wes Montgomery did it with one hand and one thumb

That's a great clip. I'll see you and raise you three:

Carlos Montoya: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GJfi7vFsrhQ

Roy Clark: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WmY89NKkl5w

John McLaughlin: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Om6HDUKBbzE

When I see guys like this play I feel like giving up. Then I remember I play for FUN and RELAXATION.

[Bruce Cohen]

So what? Jimi Hendricks puts them all to shame, he used his teeth!!

Here is a crummy video of an awesome performance by John McLaughlin and Al DiMeola.

This one of Roy Clark, to me, is way better than the one posted above. He is doing Malaguena on a twelve-string guitar.

Montoya was simply incredible. A true one of a kind player.

I believe it was Roy Clark (but could have been someone else) about 25 - 30 years ago on Johnny Carson played two songs simultaneously on one guitar.

He played Dixie and one other song. It was easy to hear each individual song at the same time.

While it is comparing apples to oranges to the guitar musicals listed above, that single guitar two simultaneous songs blew me away.

I have throw into the pot of "Gifted" guitar players the name of Chet Atkins! But I will admit that I am partial to Spanish guitarists.

Dont forget the great Albert Lee!

Check out this pickin'

Hey TK, please repost that link. I removed the extra http: but still got a bounce.

Here is the repost of TK's link.

How about Danny Gatton? Someone mentioned Wes Montgomery, how about Django? You can read about his loss of the use of fingers on his fretting hand due to a fire.

There is also Johnny Hiland, who is legally blind. I could go on and on about some of these awesome guitar players.
