Thanks so much to Rhett and the guys. Was a pleasure and an honor to play and hang out. I’m also blown away by the lovely comments from you all. Thanks so much folks
Listening to you with that Dove reminded me of my dad. He played for around 60 years & would often just sit in his music room playing different songs, guitars, arrangements for the pure joy of it. Thank you!
I lost my husband in1987 to a cardiac arrest but he played to me every night. He went to HS in Madrid and he began playing there. I swear he could do almost anything with a Guitar and had a Les Paul. Loved this video and I was in that shop in Chicago. Thanks guys. I’m 78 now and miss this.
Patricia, He's built your new house. And he's waiting for you there. Sitting on the porch with his guitar. To play you some beautiful new stuff he's learned. Everything happens for a reason. And when you get there, he'll be right there waiting. So don't be sad. He doesn't want to look down and see you sad. So smile for him. Smile because you know you'll see him again! I love you Patricia. And that love will get you home to your husband.
@@collintinwauld4931 His name is Nathaniel Murphy and type his name in the UA-cam search box...it'll pop up with all types of vids covering all types of music. He's very gifted.
Much appreciation for Rhett’s ability to make this connection happen. Love his genuine care for all things guitar. And Nathaniel is just an other-worldly talent disguised as a normal bloke from Manchester. Unbelievable!
Man it truly blew me away! Took me a minute to figure out the mechanics because I dropped in the video during that song. What a bitchin guitar and an amazing arrangement!
Nathaniel, your version of Kashmir makes my soul fly. You should be playing on the world stage. I'm not a country guy, but your "country" rendition of "In My Life" is incredible. Thank you.
rythm part of the song?i didn´t remenber it by being kashmir ,i have the kashmir album but the song with that name came in other record didn´t it?i know the rythm it´s been used on jamiroquai song from godzilam movie where he fakes to dance on top of the backrest of a cinema´s chairs
Even accomplished Guitar players are fascinated when a real "officianodo" takes to the strings! My sainted mother was an accomplished Pianist in her youth. People would stop to listen when she sat down at the keyboard. She was a Chopin fan and, in my memories, I can still hear her playing.
WOW!! Nathaniel is an amazing player!!!! That’s not enough to even touch the surface of describing his talent!!! I’ve been playing for around 45 years and have never been this blown away by another guitarist!!! Nathaniel, you made my day!!! Cheers!!!
Take a look at "Kashmir" from Ben Lacy - live in Nashville. Nathaniel plays on a level, far away. Ben - no words...(unreachable, should not be used, but you must TRY, TRY, TRY and TRY!)
just happened onto this video by luck and was pleasantly surprised. The dude playing Kashmir on the acoustic was phenomenal! Always great to hear someone playing a Zeppelin tune, good.
Best guitar store video I've watched. They often refer to this playing as "a gift". It's more hard work, dedication to perfection, and love of music & instruments. Someone record this talented humble musician. His personality is icing on the cake.
That B-bender sounds amazing! Nathaniel's playing of In my Life and Kashmir made my jaw drop. Simply beautiful playing, what a treat to listen to. Thanks for posting this Rhett.
I’m in a rough place right now. Won’t go into it but hearing Nathaniel play those tunes got me feeling alive today and brought healing. It’s an honour to watch mastery like that.
@@percyvolnar8010 Those are not exactly the same versions between the two men. But because he used that guitar you think he owns the song now. No, that is the one thing it certainly is, his own version. That goes for both of them. I suspect what you meant to say is " it is a version of Marcin.s version" And maybe it is true, but we would need to ask him what inspired him, was it Marcin who inspired him, or was it the guitar, the original artist, or a combination of two or more of the three.
Thanks, virtuoso guys, for letting us share your joy in great luthiers’ art. Especially the end, with the acoustic guitar you all loved. Me, too - We used to call them Hummingbirds. People like you (and Renaissance composers long before us), are why I “graduated” to the guitar, when time constraints made me put aside my fiddle, for lack of practice. At 73, my fingers are now too stiff to perform, but I still keep my old Silvertone in tune, and occasionally pull it out for a few chords, riffs, and memories. (I’ve been watching a lotta Stochelo, and Rosenberg Trio, lately, just for some calm in the storm…)
That Kashmir rendition was freakin awesome man. That's the shit I'm talking bout! Different tunings, mechanical and electrical aids keeping us all inspired! Just like the playing of others. We all contribute to the art and passion. An endless journey of learning, sharing and creating. Straight from the heart. Thanks for your inputs brother. Blessings!
Man-oh-man that guy's playing really shined brightly on that acoustic! He really has carved out a niche for himself on that instrument! It's amazing when you think of the kind of talented musicians that exist all over this world ...and you never know when or where you'll find them!!
"It's amazing when you think of the kind of talented musicians that exist all over this world ...and you never know when or where you'll find them!!" That's a hard fact I realized years ago. The really best musicians are unknown and have never had much exposure.
the last I heard anything similar to that, was as a kid and the player was late middle age hillbilly picker, he bent the strings around wildly. I to this day don't know how he did it without any trick devices. must have had fingers of stone, with feel of a baby.
@@marcos061059 Hey! In HISTORY, i agree completly. Today - THAT's the reason why i am HERE! To search LIVE, UNDERRATED, SURPRISING MEETINGS, UNARRANGED JAM's; RARE RECORDS!
Yeah, to me discovering these people that barely anyone us aware of is far more entertaining than anything any record labels drop, in my opinion anyway.

Glorious! It sounded like he played every instrument in the song! My late brother left his Les Paul to my youngest son and it is beautiful and wonderful to listen to!
@@sn4rl277 For sure. What a gift to be able to create such a beautiful sound. You sure have to be dedicated and practice a lot to get to that level and develop your own signature style. I love the look on a guitarist's face when they zone out. 😊
@@lindahandley5267 Yes, I like when they are just feeling it and don't have to even look at their hands. It's like another language that once you get it, it just flows so well.
Brother just nonchalantly Blowin us away with exery axe he touches , his fineness ,& dynamics is no less than impeccable!!! Thanx 4 th Vlog it was different but So enjoyabiy casually Entertaining,knowledgeable.. ..👊👍✌️
I love Rhett’s expression after Nathaniel finishes playing “In My Life”. That smile says, “Did you really just casually drop that on me like that?”. Great video, Rhett. Really enjoyed this one! 🥰
First of all I have never seen a B bender on an acoustic guitar, second, DAMN!! That guy is just amazing! Now I am off to search Nathaniel Murphy! How cool.
Nathaniel, you have the ear, the touch and the sensibilities of a star. Your arrangements are a pure wonder! I hope you do an album of songs with your B-Bender enhanced arrangements.
Nathaniel; crushed it. He so generously & graciously shared his craft. So moved are those of us that Hear. We owe him and I personally am Grateful to the max
I think that was about the MOST fun I've ever had watching a few masters dink around, learn something new, play some vintage craft and better yet - share it with us lowly serfs who play guitar and admire the players. While we play guitar, these guys are guitar players and for those who don't know the difference, finding out would be a huge step upward in your library of understanding and appreciation of the art. That was most excellent. I could only imagine an entire afternoon of this dreamscape and will often reflect on this very moment as i humble myself again. Thank you fellas ! A heartfelt thanks !
So well said. This one really grabbed my undivided attention, and was a real treat to watch & listen. To me, this is truly what makes the world go ‘round. Tip of a the hat, to them.
I'm still gathering my jaw off of the floor. The work on the SG, and then just into outer space on that acoustic B bender. The man can jam! Some people get put off by great players... it's one in the morning and I want to wake the neighbours up!! That was super inspiring.
Those people that don't like to hear the words , guy was a great guitar player.or girl, are those freaking jealous types I've dealt with my whole life and all i eevt wanted to do was my best and inspire someone else maybe and if I noticed someone on the same level talent wise as myself I would get real pleased because I knew that I could finally challenge myself to the fullest and see just how good I actually was. Loved it and had nothing but respect and love for other "naturals"
I've been playing guitar for 35 years and only once have I heard of a b - bender, but never knew what it was, so I just ignored it as some gimmick, but actually hearing it , I'm impressed, it really gives an innocent sadness too the tones, this just opened up a can of BRAND NEW GUITAR TONE for me. I'm a guitarist, I'm an engineer, I have a slew of guitars, so, I'm gonna be on the drawing board and take one of my guitars and make myself a b- bender. I'm excited.i have never in my life heard any so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this video.
Here's a great way to dig in and create some content for your channel! With a camera documenting your process from thoughts, design possibilities, engineering, and construction to musical output.... You'd have people following along. I'd say that all it takes is a bit of guts and desire to follow through. Good luck!
I guess I'm fortunate, if not outright spoiled; I've had the pleasure of knowing a really good guitar player in Nassau County NY since 1976, who has a Telecaster with a B-bender in it. About 6 years ago, I stepped into a place where he and his brother were playing acoustic (Martin) guitars. With my back to them, what a pleasing shock when I heard B-bender notes coming from one of the acoustics! Good luck on your engineering project. It's a very nice addition to a guitar, but the added weight of the B-bender apparatus is especially noticeable in an acoustic guitar.
I wish I can watch David Gilmour picking up this guitar( the acoustic) and playing it. You guys are masters of the guitar I settle with what I hear from your playing. Thank you for showing what you guys can do with those guitars, especially, the acoustic. Just fantastic!
Yes, agreed. A rare sight indeed. There's many thousands of hours of practice behind that playing and possibly hundreds on those pieces of music. What a gift and a great commitment to the craft.
Yeah.. that is pretty incredible when you think about it. Also just off the cuff, like.. ‘let’s just do this right now’ and flawless. Been following this guy on Insta for a long time. He’s in a class of his own.
The best rendition of Led Zeppelin on acoustic guitar I have ever heard unbelievable. And you could hear the voice parts in there, too. That was so sweet.
When you started on the acoustic,, The very 1st second or two,, I thought you were going into,, Jimmy Buffett "Come Monday"..Also,, Your acoustic "Kashmir" SLAYED!! ❤
It came to mind, if you like unusual stuff, in the music field Hazmat Mohdene fits the bill, Some fantastic harmonica playing on one of his CD's. Unfortunately can't remember the title of the disc, I do remember it was track 9, solo harmonica. Never heard anythig like it before. If I can find the disc, I will get back to you with the title. Peace.
The playing with the modified acoustic guitar is awesome!! Wow. I have never heard this in my life. And I am one of the older guys - I thought I have heard all:-) I am blown away and speechless.
Nathaniel is too good man… wow. I see him every day on IG and it’s so amazing how articulate and musical his playing is. And such a cool guy too! Great video!
That version of in my life brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful addition to a classic song. It was amazing and would love tonhear a full play through
i watch this any and every time it shows up on my feed...what a wonderful way to spend a quarter hour just being amazed by beautiful instruments and inspired playing. Very joyful video.
That's about as close to "complete mastery" of the guitar as you will ever see. Been a huge fan of his since my jaw hit the floor when I first saw one of his posts on Instagram. What an immense talent!!
@@jamesbowen2105 absolutely! Great comment!HUGE fan and total respect for Lifeson not only for his otherworldly talent and skill, but humility and respect for the art. Thanks for bringing him into the discussion. Well-deserved for sure!
I’m not a guitarist, but the diff between the first and second guitar was amazing. First one was cool, the second one was warm and fuzzy…def the sound I like more!
Holy sh...! This guy is insane! His arrangements for guitar are incredible, full of creativity on an extremly high technical level! Does this guy have a youtube channel?? Watching him play is pure entertainment and so much fun to watch! And so is your whole video! Love it! Thanks a lot for sharing! Cheers DimiZ
Def one of the best videos in a long time. What talent - what instruments! I never knew such a thing as an acoustic B-bender even existed. All players on this video are FINE.
@@mikegilland I've still got a d/l'ed copy of your daughter playing "Only Jesus" at a conference from some years back. I hang onto it 'cause I went to high school with the guy playing drums. Small world :D
Just absolutely magnificent. I see all you guys on tour together bringing the love of guitar to the people, who at this time of complete lunacy need badly. I'm serious to listen how you guys just played impromptu, I could only imagine what you could do rehearsing. You have the ability to bring the people back to there inner soul away from this madness!
That tilt tune guitar was so cool. I bet there's a lot of people who've never seen anything like it before. Great playing on all the guitars. I especially loved the rendition of Cashmere on the Tilt Tune Acoustic. That was epic. 🤘🤘
Talk about chills, wow men. Each of you caused my hair to stand up with chillbumps. The Les Paul had an astoundingly GREAT sound. Thanks guys, I really enjoyed that pick session.
And what is mind boggling is that he can play any genre of music with so much virtuosity. You can check in instagram and have your mind blown. To me this guy is right there along with Guthrie Govan.
Watching you guys playing in the candy store made me wish I had your talent's. But my eyes and ears work ok, just. So I enjoyed listening and watching your fingers introducing themselves to the strings way down in the deep end. Enjoy what you do, every day, as if it were your last. Thanks for sharing your talent's. keep well.
Thanks for having Nathaniel play here, Rhett!! I had never heard of him but his grasp of chords, melodies and groovy is just phenomenal... And he's right: that amp is killer.
I'm not a guitar player or do I play any instrument. Truly my biggest regret in my life.... not being involved in music in some capacity. I find it so cool to sit down with other creative people that can play these instruments well and just picking each other's heads on new ways to play in different sounds. What an awesome gift and talent to have. Awesome video ! Thank you
You say that like the opportunity has passed you. Start tomorrow. Sure, you're going to get discouraged at times, but anything worth doing makes us a bit nauseous at times. Every day I dig for the courage to carry forward against the punishing gravity of hopes and dreams versus reality. By the way, I have been playing guitar for going on 40 years. Even if you were an accomplished musician, you still wouldn't be satisfied. Humans aren't hardwired for satisfaction. Now where was I? Oh yeah, pancakes... maybe a quiche.
I think that this, one specific and magnificent art, is one of the the greatest things that makes us worthwhile as beings. I've seen film, paint, sculpture, music, and dialogue that is like watching the Sistine Chapel built. Hopefully, we all get to live long enough to appreciate it all
I am amazed by this talented guy on the acoustic with the installed B-bender! The Beatles I was raised on and is my first memory of music. Then his work on the Led Zep. cover of "Kashmir" was the best I have ever heard before! Jimmy Page would give him a thumbs up on this Outstanding job! WOW !
@@haolejohn Completely different thing, not to compare. The original is history... but NATHANIEL writes its own history. Highly talented, yet modest, surprised by the positive response to his interpretation. All together leads me to the conclusion, that this artist is too fine, the MUSIC - INDUSTRY would "tear" him like many others before . Better stay under cover! But I would love to hear more from him.
@@Toddy9cent I agree. I'm 40 years playing guitar and do my own style but I've never even heard of that strap bending the B string contraption. He used it so skillfully I was just floored. It's difficult to impress me and like you said he was so modest about it. Big love on that!
Man I play the drums a little bit this was amazing to hear the sounds that was coming out of that guitar. Makes you feel like you have to learn all over again there's always something new to learn everyday. Amazing keep up the great work guys!
I love solo guitarists that can arrange like that, whole different ballgame. Incredible playing and awesome guitars. That SG is a rock machine and refreshing in another color.
OK so I'm sitting here watching this and wondering did I just miss or what, UNTIL dude starts in on Kashmir from Zeppelin on an acoustic guitar and then I'm just blown away and had to re-watch a few times because it was that awesome.. Wow, generally I'm a purist with most bands and songs I really love, and Kashmir being my all time favorite Led Zeppelin song I just want people and bands to leave it alone cause you can't make it better, you just can't. But this, well this is different and while not better, absolutely brilliant and worth listening to.. Great video.
Thanks so much to Rhett and the guys. Was a pleasure and an honor to play and hang out. I’m also blown away by the lovely comments from you all. Thanks so much folks
I just subscribed to your channel. That was awesome.
Listening to you with that Dove reminded me of my dad. He played for around 60 years & would often just sit in his music room playing different songs, guitars, arrangements for the pure joy of it. Thank you!

He's built your new house. And he's waiting for you there. Sitting on the porch with his guitar. To play you some beautiful new stuff he's learned.
Everything happens for a reason. And when you get there, he'll be right there waiting. So don't be sad. He doesn't want to look down and see you sad. So smile for him. Smile because you know you'll see him again! I love you Patricia. And that love will get you home to your husband.

Beautifully written and so happy to receive your message. Thank you beyond my words.
"In My Life" and "Kashmir" as I've never heard it before on acoustic guitar...nor ever will again. Simply beautiful, man.

Jaw dropping.
How is Nathaniel not HUGE on UA-cam already?
the Percussion IS insane

Dude...your version of Kashmir around 13:00 is incredible. What a gift you have
Thank you for pointing that timestamp out. I bounced around the video a bit and would have prolly missed it.
isn't a weird tuning does he play it in standard?
It's just flat out nuts... killer at absolute worst. I wish I had 1/100 of that talent...OK, 1/1,000.
No no. This isnt his version of Kashmir. Marcin, a polish guitar prodigy blew the lid off of this here on youtube years ago. Look him up.

Blown away by these guys just casually playing in the freaking basement of CMX. Fantastic! Made my Monday.

I love how humble Nathaniel is after playing such an amazing version of Kashmir.
What’s a Kashmir?
It's the song Kashmir from Led Zeppelin
Wow. That was a gorgeous country rendition of "In My Life". So glad I was able to catch it. Thanks so much.
I find it amazing how each person plays his interpretation of these guitars. Thanks gentlemen.
That Kashmir is so lovely. And the next fellow playing made me think of Dwayne Allman, and the Melissa dedication. So interesting, the weeping guitar.
Tapping isn't new, but there's not usually alotta melody. This guy's got 3 lines going. & percusion with a flawless melody thru out. Great show mate !
When Nathaniel is playing by am constantly smiling and sometimes cracking up at just the sheer absurdity of his brilliant statements.
I think that was about the MOST fun I've ever had watching a few masters dink around, learn something new, play some vintage craft and better yet - share it with us lowly serfs who play guitar and admire the players. While we play guitar, these guys are guitar players and for those who don't know the difference, finding out would be a huge step upward in your library of understanding and appreciation of the art. That was most excellent. I could only imagine an entire afternoon of this dreamscape and will often reflect on this very moment as i humble myself again. Thank you fellas ! A heartfelt thanks !
So well said. This one really grabbed my undivided attention, and was a real treat to watch & listen. To me, this is truly what makes the world go ‘round. Tip of a the hat, to them.
One of the finest guitarists I've heard in a long, long time!!!!
This is one of the most profound guitar moments of my life. I have heard virtuosity and genius and a person is never really the same afterwards.
I'm still gathering my jaw off of the floor. The work on the SG, and then just into outer space on that acoustic B bender. The man can jam! Some people get put off by great players... it's one in the morning and I want to wake the neighbours up!! That was super inspiring.
I feel EXACTLY the same! I suddenly just wanted to share this with everyone one I know RIGHT NOW! haha
Those people that don't like to hear the words , guy was a great guitar player.or girl, are those freaking jealous types I've dealt with my whole life and all i eevt wanted to do was my best and inspire someone else maybe and if I noticed someone on the same level talent wise as myself I would get real pleased because I knew that I could finally challenge myself to the fullest and see just how good I actually was. Loved it and had nothing but respect and love for other "naturals"
I've been playing guitar for 35 years and only once have I heard of a b - bender, but never knew what it was, so I just ignored it as some gimmick, but actually hearing it , I'm impressed, it really gives an innocent sadness too the tones, this just opened up a can of BRAND NEW GUITAR TONE for me. I'm a guitarist, I'm an engineer, I have a slew of guitars, so, I'm gonna be on the drawing board and take one of my guitars and make myself a b- bender. I'm excited.i have never in my life heard any so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this video.
Here's a great way to dig in and create some content for your channel! With a camera documenting your process from thoughts, design possibilities, engineering, and construction to musical output.... You'd have people following along. I'd say that all it takes is a bit of guts and desire to follow through.
Good luck!
@@125AXer - Very kind suggestion.❤️
I guess I'm fortunate, if not outright spoiled; I've had the pleasure of knowing a really good guitar player in Nassau County NY since 1976, who has a Telecaster with a B-bender in it. About 6 years ago, I stepped into a place where he and his brother were playing acoustic (Martin) guitars. With my back to them, what a pleasing shock when I heard B-bender notes coming from one of the acoustics! Good luck on your engineering project. It's a very nice addition to a guitar, but the added weight of the B-bender apparatus is especially noticeable in an acoustic guitar.
This guy needs a well produced instrumental album. I’d listen non stop for months.
It's called War for the Moment. Released in 2018. ✌🏼
@@bradgantt1818 thanks. Listening to it on UA-cam music now.
I wish I can watch David Gilmour picking up this guitar( the acoustic) and playing it. You guys are masters of the guitar I settle with what I hear from your playing. Thank you for showing what you guys can do with those guitars, especially, the acoustic. Just fantastic!
Been following Nat for years and by God he's one of the best if not the best online guitarists I've seen. He is fenomenal!
Phenomenal
I’m sure he’s fenomenol offline too!
@@catzndolz61 - doot-dooo-da-do-do
Lol
Pheromonal too
Lets take a moment to appreciate that Nathaniel does both tunes perfectly in one shot…
Yes, agreed. A rare sight indeed. There's many thousands of hours of practice behind that playing and possibly hundreds on those pieces of music. What a gift and a great commitment to the craft.
Yeah.. that is pretty incredible when you think about it. Also just off the cuff, like.. ‘let’s just do this right now’ and flawless. Been following this guy on Insta for a long time. He’s in a class of his own.
@@findJLF lllllll
And the can of dip in Michael's pocket.
And after he says "I've made a fool of myself" lol that slayed me when he said that!
The best rendition of Led Zeppelin on acoustic guitar I have ever heard unbelievable. And you could hear the voice parts in there, too. That was so sweet.
This was absolutely a blast to watch and damn fun. Everyone plays great and Nathaniel is a legit artist. Cheers!
Wow is not even enough praise to express what a gift and talent this guy has 🎸
Thanks for the inspiration to just keep playing
What an amazing guitarist this gentleman is. Incredible talent.
Thanks man
When you started on the acoustic,, The very 1st second or two,, I thought you were going into,, Jimmy Buffett "Come Monday"..Also,, Your acoustic "Kashmir" SLAYED!! ❤
The Zep w/ the B-bender acoustic is SO freakin cool. Love it!
That was some damn nice playing on the acoustic man. Always find it crazy how I'm always discovering so many great players I've never seen. Awesome.
Awesome
If you haven't found him yet, check out Steve Baughman Playing Wassila Weed, Clawhammer style, Fantasstic!
He's on YT.
Guitar has been king for a long time, and a LOT of people have developed their skills and unique playing styles to a high degree. I LOVE IT!
@Tim Lyons Pleased you are enjoying his music.
It came to mind, if you like unusual stuff, in the music field Hazmat Mohdene fits the bill, Some fantastic harmonica playing on one of his CD's. Unfortunately can't remember the title of the disc, I do remember it was track 9, solo harmonica. Never heard anythig like it before.
If I can find the disc, I will get back to you with the title.
Peace.
Michael had that special sauce in his fingers that made that SG sing. And Nathaniel’s arrangement of Kashmire was quite amazing.
Truly excellent individual jam session, guys. I don't hear guys jammin Zeppelin much any more, and I love it.
The playing with the modified acoustic guitar is awesome!! Wow. I have never heard this in my life. And I am one of the older guys - I thought I have heard all:-) I am blown away and speechless.
Nathaniel is too good man… wow. I see him every day on IG and it’s so amazing how articulate and musical his playing is. And such a cool guy too! Great video!
That version of in my life brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful addition to a classic song. It was amazing and would love tonhear a full play through
Why have I never heard of this bloke. He must be one of the best guitarists I have ever heard. That Kashmir was incredibly beautiful.
Exactly. I'm gobsmacked
Wow, incredible playing! His articulation in dynamics are unreal.
Thank you guys…I love music so much…and it’s so good to see a group like this play such great sounds…keep strumming
That dude is the MAN. Honest to God, what a player. Just makes my heart fly to see anyone that inspiringly talented.
Same thing here!
i watch this any and every time it shows up on my feed...what a wonderful way to spend a quarter hour just being amazed by beautiful instruments and inspired playing. Very joyful video.
That's about as close to "complete mastery" of the guitar as you will ever see. Been a huge fan of his since my jaw hit the floor when I first saw one of his posts on Instagram. What an immense talent!!
And he says "I've made a fool of myself" lol! So dude is humble and funny also! What a great representative of a musician.
You are absolutely spot on with that one!
See Alex Lifeson....
@@jamesbowen2105 absolutely! Great comment!HUGE fan and total respect for Lifeson not
only for his otherworldly talent and skill, but humility and respect for the art. Thanks for bringing him into the discussion. Well-deserved for sure!
Nathaniel is such an amazing player and the nicest guy you’ll ever meet. I’d love for him to tour!
Two things to me stood out: The tones on that second Les Paul and the awesome "bbenderrendition of Kashmir", of course! 👍
I’m not a guitarist, but the diff between the first and second guitar was amazing.
First one was cool, the second one was warm and fuzzy…def the sound I like more!
Which minute is it?
@@bulanugama2973 Les Paul Nr.2: 4m30s - 6min40s. Kashmir: 12m20s - 14m22s
@@marcofioravanti4176 thanks brother
@@bulanugama2973 Thank you. Have fun! 🙂
Amazing Kashmir cover. I like the tapping percussion he weaved into the mix. Great timing.
Holy sh...! This guy is insane! His arrangements for guitar are incredible, full of creativity on an extremly high technical level! Does this guy have a youtube channel?? Watching him play is pure entertainment and so much fun to watch! And so is your whole video! Love it! Thanks a lot for sharing! Cheers DimiZ
Check the pinned comment. It's his.
@@davebellamy4867 Cool!
Def one of the best videos in a long time. What talent - what instruments! I never knew such a thing as an acoustic B-bender even existed. All players on this video are FINE.
Fellow Gainesvilleian!
@@mrz80 used to be - moved back to Orlando three years ago.
@@mikegilland I've still got a d/l'ed copy of your daughter playing "Only Jesus" at a conference from some years back. I hang onto it 'cause I went to high school with the guy playing drums. Small world :D
I bet even Jimmy Page would be blown away by that version of Kashmir. OMG.
Mind blowing
I'd love to witness his reaction. Jimmy loves a B Bender too. He's had them installed in Les Pauls..
he'd love it. I love it. Awesome gadget. I'm surprised Page didn't have one.
no doubt Lennon would be blown away by In My Life as well
Jimmy page 😅?
The Kashmir was so absolutely mind blowing, just beautiful.
This guy is a monster player, been noticing his arrangements and chord melody's for a while...🤘😎
I so agree with you!
I remember writing him off as just another dude, then listened to him again hours later and fell in love.
WOW! The B-Bender sounds fantastic. What great playing (starts at 9:55.)
I could sit there and listen to guys jamming like that for hours. My Dad would have loved to be there listening to them.
I could listen to that guy play all night. Amazing talent and stunning sound from that extraordinary guitar
That version of In My Life was just amazing!! Beautiful playing
Just absolutely magnificent. I see all you guys on tour together bringing the love of guitar to the people, who at this time of complete lunacy need badly. I'm serious to listen how you guys just played impromptu, I could only imagine what you could do rehearsing. You have the ability to bring the people back to there inner soul away from this madness!
That tilt tune guitar was so cool. I bet there's a lot of people who've never seen anything like it before. Great playing on all the guitars. I especially loved the rendition of Cashmere on the Tilt Tune Acoustic. That was epic. 🤘🤘
Talk about chills, wow men. Each of you caused my hair to stand up with chillbumps. The Les Paul had an astoundingly GREAT sound. Thanks guys, I really enjoyed that pick session.
Nathaniel is definitely a monster guitar player who just makes it look easy!
I had chills while they were playing. I wish I could have experienced it live.
That is easily the most incredible guitarist I’ve ever heard and seen. No one beats him. Just amazing.
And what is mind boggling is that he can play any genre of music with so much virtuosity. You can check in instagram and have your mind blown. To me this guy is right there along with Guthrie Govan.
Watching you guys playing in the candy store made me wish I had your talent's. But my eyes and ears work ok, just. So I enjoyed listening and watching your fingers introducing themselves to the strings way down in the deep end. Enjoy what you do, every day, as if it were your last. Thanks for sharing your talent's. keep well.
yeah!
Thanks for having Nathaniel play here, Rhett!! I had never heard of him but his grasp of chords, melodies and groovy is just phenomenal...
And he's right: that amp is killer.
Watch out for this scammer just above this comment ☝😉
@@frednel4326 reported
I'm not a guitar player or do I play any instrument.
Truly my biggest regret in my life.... not being involved in music in some capacity.
I find it so cool to sit down with other creative people that can play these instruments well and just picking each other's heads on new ways to play in different sounds.
What an awesome gift and talent to have.
Awesome video !
Thank you
You say that like the opportunity has passed you. Start tomorrow. Sure, you're going to get discouraged at times, but anything worth doing makes us a bit nauseous at times. Every day I dig for the courage to carry forward against the punishing gravity of hopes and dreams versus reality. By the way, I have been playing guitar for going on 40 years. Even if you were an accomplished musician, you still wouldn't be satisfied. Humans aren't hardwired for satisfaction.
Now where was I? Oh yeah, pancakes... maybe a quiche.
Never too late to start
If a 10 year old can master in 5 years you can do it after 30 or 40 . Just devote yourself to the instrument.
As a seasoned listener, you bring the energy and love to those who play.
You never realize how much space is in the opening solo to Since I've been Loving You until you hear it by itself. What a great song!
You gotta breath😊
My cousin Greg Smith has a B bender in his electric guitar, and he loves it alot. .... 😊
I think that this, one specific and magnificent art, is one of the the greatest things that makes us worthwhile as beings. I've seen film, paint, sculpture, music, and dialogue that is like watching the Sistine Chapel built. Hopefully, we all get to live long enough to appreciate it all
I find it amazing that the guitar itself doesn't lose the intonation while being used with the "B bender". So cool to see on an acoustic.
I am amazed by this talented guy on the acoustic with the installed B-bender! The Beatles I was raised on and is my first memory of music. Then his work on the Led Zep. cover of "Kashmir" was the best I have ever heard before! Jimmy Page would give him a thumbs up on this Outstanding job! WOW !
There's this kid on UA-cam that plays the acoustic in a similar. His name is Marcin. I love this style of playing.
sounded better than Page IMO
@@haolejohn Completely different thing, not to compare. The original is history... but NATHANIEL writes its own history. Highly talented, yet modest, surprised by the positive response to his interpretation. All together leads me to the conclusion, that this artist is too fine, the MUSIC - INDUSTRY would "tear" him like many others before . Better stay under cover! But I would love to hear more from him.
You should check out Marcin's cover of Kashmir. Not dissing this fine guitarist, but I think if you like this guy you would like Marcin.
@@Toddy9cent I agree. I'm 40 years playing guitar and do my own style but I've never even heard of that strap bending the B string contraption. He used it so skillfully I was just floored. It's difficult to impress me and like you said he was so modest about it. Big love on that!
That's one of best versions of Kashmir that I've ever heard. That guy is really something special.
Man I play the drums a little bit this was amazing to hear the sounds that was coming out of that guitar. Makes you feel like you have to learn all over again there's always something new to learn everyday. Amazing keep up the great work guys!
I love solo guitarists that can arrange like that, whole different ballgame. Incredible playing and awesome guitars. That SG is a rock machine and refreshing in another color.
OK so I'm sitting here watching this and wondering did I just miss or what, UNTIL dude starts in on Kashmir from Zeppelin on an acoustic guitar and then I'm just blown away and had to re-watch a few times because it was that awesome.. Wow, generally I'm a purist with most bands and songs I really love, and Kashmir being my all time favorite Led Zeppelin song I just want people and bands to leave it alone cause you can't make it better, you just can't. But this, well this is different and while not better, absolutely brilliant and worth listening to.. Great video.
I’ve been following him on Instagram for a while, his playing is always amazing.
A magical moment, for sure....Thanks for sharing this.
when I see clips I see so many talented musicians who are unknown and unheard of
