Brilliant! Total command of harmony, rhythm and melody!!! A young Giant!!! 👍👍👍
All that jazz on a “tele” perfectly beyond category 😎
3rd Place? Gimme a break......frickin' genius
Glad you enjoyed, Dj!
Exactly👍👍🤔
Genius!!!
Yea dj, cecil has a beautiful mind. You can feel it, see it.
I think he should have won. Such a perfect performance he did, as usual.
Better then Pascal...
That's excellent playing.... Cecil is Great player... And instructor.......
7:55 Can't get over the great sound he gets out of that telecaster.. not to mention his pheenomenal playing..
tremendous playing...he really got me with the harmonics!
I wouldn't believe what i was hearing if i didn't see with my own eyes him playing the chord passages!!
Really nice use of lead tones and chord resolutions. If this is third place I gotta wonder who was first...
Thanks for watching! The first-place winner that year was Evgeny Pobozhiy!
Hey
I love this guy's playing.
Beautiful capability.
Great student of jazz.
Magic ,
Nice playing. He holds the pick like Benson.
Beautiful playing. However I reject the whole concept of competition in music, or any creative media. Why must we always do it. Was Cézanne better than Vincent van Gogh? Judging the sublime in competition is missing the point IMO.
I totally agree with you.
Yikes. I love this gu's mind, & ability. he must sleep with his Tele.
Only third place? Why?
Just when you think you have heard it all. This is an incredible genius!
Remarkable! Now there’s a musician who knows his instrument! Love it !
Nice!!
Nice. Such smooth transitions both in chords and combinations of lead and chords. Teles, you can nice tones from them it's not all twangy like people identifie with. It's the players technique, possible change in pickups and amp settings. But mainly hands, dynamics in picking either with fingers, pick or using both at sametime.
Just amazing!
Class
Awesome. I’m a instant fan.
Awesome!
Bravo👍👍👍👏👏
Oooouufff
High level!
Astonishing
lol..... i gave it a thumbs up because it was amazing, but I had to click away because it was too intense.
✌🎸🗿
What? he came in third?!?
audio = 000 .....TECHNICALLY . H.H.'s institute ignores sono and sound check .
Sorry you didn't enjoy, Jean-Luc!
@@HancockInstituteProbably i will enjoy ....but with sound ! That's elementary for music , isn't it ? and the place
