Yes Bireli is exceptional in his playing. And don't forget he is also a master in bassguitar (his teacher was Jaco Pastorius) And he can play violin, double bass and more. He could already play very well at 13 years of age. He learnt by ear and by looking, copyng. When he was 18, he was my friend and he asked me what I listened to, I replied George Benson, you should do that too. And he did, he moved to America and Jaco became his teacher there. So now he can add what he learnt by ear with music theory, and therefore he became the absolute master that he is today. Knowing so much already about different kinds of instruments also helps to grow. I lost touch with him after he moved to America, but I still love my friend.
Just saw him tonight at a Django 3-day birthday festival. He has the most amazing feel and since of natural exploration. Such a beautiful, fun, and powerfully elegant show.
Oh my God. I transcribed him playing Body and Soul years ago, because I love his playing so much, but this is just insane. ❤🤯
check out his "Estate."
This is about the greatest guitar solo you will ever hear in your entire life
Certainly 'one of.' Fcuking master.
Nah
You're not even joking either. This is the BIZ!
Even a little Jeff Beck around 4:35

P.S. He sings like Sinatra too
Bireli is the greatest living jazz soloist on a guitar - for MY money.
Even when he was a goofy little kid he was soooo good now he is the worlds best!
Off the charts!
I give bireli all stars :) Fantastic guitar player...
You are a great player as well, saludos Maribel

So witty, rhythmical version on the standard.

Just curious.. who's playing bass in this?
Aaron Brown Rémi Vignolo
цікаво чи хтось має таби цієї аранжировки?
no one can beat george bensons phrasing but this guy is definately more versatile
..George is the master..let's not forget that ..
Gli si è rovesciato il barattolo delle note
almost puts George Benson to shame...... :)
i think you are forgetting norman brown but yes younger
Worst camera ever
