I was listening to Rory's album, Swing Expedition, and I was thinking,
Wow! The piano player and clarinet player are also incredible!
Then I found out they were all Rory.
OMG!
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Colten Westin instablaster =)
@Axton Frank i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Axton Frank It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
easily in the top players of this world..
There are some impressive people that lived, live and will live in this world, I am thankful to just see some of them and what they do.
i went to school with this guy till 8th grade he was talented then and still is, way to go rory!
Rory, You are awsome!!!!!!!!Send my best regards to you from China.
Rory Hoffman, you are a great player..Guitar player that is..
No comments...it was simply awesome!!!!!
He's so fantastic
Thanks for posting this. Man, Rory just plays all sorts of hisself right off the charts!!
His playing is nothing short of miraculous!
my biggest respect to rory. that guy really plays with his soul!
Speechless!
Rory’s rhythm is more electrifying than just about everybody’s lead playing. It made me wonder if his unique technique drives his originality, or if he’d be just as fresh even if he played the regular way.
Still Amazing !!!!
He said there is no video of him playing with Kenny Burrell but there is! I watched it before watching this video! Haha You can see exactly when Burrell tells him who he is and Rory is all surprised, very cool video
Wow!! What a commanding voice and spirit. Magnificent!!
Ok, 100% fantastic jazz guitar. Wow!
What fantastic playing ! The song with which Rory opens the proceedings would be hard enough to play in normal position, but to play it on the lap with hand on top like a piano is mind boggling. Fantastic!
So inspiring tnx hey, one of the best ever.
Used to watch him play drums in his family's band when he was just a kid. I think he was like 5 years old the first time I saw them. Impressive.
If you ever feel sorry for blind people or other unfortunate people don't, cause Roy is an inspiration!
What a talent, man is a true inspiration.
There are lots of extraordinarily good guitarists running around, and Rory is one of the best.
i almost gave up on guitar today until I saw this...thanks
i think Ill watch that beginning to end again!
What a gift!! Thanks for sharing this amazing video!! I'm so inspired by just watching Rory. I live how aggressive he can be with the guitar and then move down to tender mode!! Thanks again!!!!
This is so great, I can watch these kind of videos all day long. Greetings from Sweden!
OH MY GOSH, HE IS SO. DAMN. AMAZING AT GUITAR!!!
Rory is one fabulous musician. Thanks for sharing that!
Wow I’m speechless.. what an amazing musical discovery! Thank you for the uplaod
omg I get this "this is the best player ever" feeling with this guy. Every note... How many more best guitarplayers in the world are still out there?
this guy its fucking amazing!! he is a natural and he is BLIND! WOW... only imagine if he wasnt
So inspirational and what a guy...what a player! Thank you!
Hi Rory - Man! I am totally moved by your musical gift and obvious hard practice time!
Wonderful! You really hear stuff at a high level. Way to go!
May you play until you're 150 years old.
divine talents! God bless you Rory
I love Rory's take on being a - so-called - lefthanded guitar player. It makes a lot of sense.
OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD THIS MAN HAS TWO SOULSSSSSSSSSSSS TREMENDOUSSSSSSSSS WITH OUT WORDS
Saw this guy playing with the Tennessee Twisters at Benchmark on 2nd in Nashville. I was floored at just how good Rory is. He's also a killer sax player, accordion player, and probably a lot more.
I'm never going to complain my fingers hurt ever again, He plays better than i ever will i'm sure, he persevered so much,
I just discovered this man recently. I am totally blown away
wonderful Guitar playin Rory stay blessed
Hey, Rory! @12:00 you talk about playing with Kenny Burrell at the NAMM Show, Heritage Guitars Booth. I remember how stunned you were when the "other guy" introduced himself as Kenny Burrell. Yes, he had you stay on to play with him as he demo'd the new Heritage Kenny Burrell Model. There was a third guitarist with you, Henry Johnson, who also had a Heritage Signature Model guitar. You made some great music!
By the way, you are wrong about another thing. I have a Video! Send me a message...
Where is that??
divine talent!
What an amazing guitarist - fantastic !
I agree very inspiring great video, thank you
WOW, I need to remove my eyes! obviously top shelf musician!
An interesting and incredible personality. Not to mention a gifted musician.
Ken, Toronto, Ont.
his chord solos are incredible
He does play piano, and many other instruments as well.
Man, that Hoffman dude is outta this world.
This is so encouraging!! Thanks from New Zealand.
This guy is AMAZING! What an artist!
I really like the show and i'm going to tune in more, and Rory is just a great guitar player.
nice!
Wow, Mr. Rory is an incredible player. His sound is also very rich and thick.
Greeting from Dublin, Ireland - great show thank you
Amazing!!! Rory you are awsome! Thank you!
very humbling and inspiring, AWESOME!
WOW!!! Rory is great!!!
Incredible! One of the very, very best I've ever seen and heard. Thank you so much for this recording.
the sound of his guitar is great. is that a gibson l125 or so, from the 50s? reminds me of that sound ionce heard and it looks somehow like one.
His fingers looks like their dancing , Nice playing Rory youre amazing keep it up !
By the way, Rory. I watched you play that day at NAMM 2005 for about 45 minutes before I realized you had a right-handed guitar, strung right handed, and you were playing it left handed, flat on your lap. You played some terrific bass lines part of the time while Henry Johnson and Kenny Burrell took turns comping and playing lead. You were absolutely right at home with them and had the ears and understanding of harmony to blend in perfectly with two masters. Get in touch about the video I have.
Absolutely amazing. Beautiful. 👍
Hello From Bandung, West Java, Indonesia Great Jazz Player
WOW!! Man He's really awesome to be able to play like that!!
This is absolutely incredible!!!
A session to hear, see and feel a lot of satisfaction. Congratulations. Otamar Carvalho, Brasilia-DF, Brazil
Wonderful! Rory making the colors in my mind. Thanks!
Thanks for the upload. Rory might be pleased to know there IS video coverage of the session with Kenny Burrel and it's on UA-cam: "Kenny Burrel at NAMM 2004 with Rory Hoffman". There are other sessions too (eg Henry Johnson who seems to calm everybody down and bring some soul to the playing of all three - very nice)
absolutely beautiful playing. now i need to practice
wonderful wonderful. i smiled all the way through. loved it. thanks.
surely one of the five best guitarists I've ever heard !!! amazing player !!!

yeah! this man is AMAZING!!
great playing. amazing...
Spike Jones had a player in his band in the late 50's who played like Rory. There was a video on YT, now gone, that showed him in the back playing a right handed Fender Jazzmaster in a seated left-handed position.
I'm amazed how Rory invented many unique chord positions, only able to be played as he does.
I admire you rory....
I hope next time in Nashville to meet him!
He's AMAZING!
Sweet notes! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Argentina!
Very beautiful!!!!! I'm very surprised with his technique! Congratulations!
