  • I challenged 10 guitar UA-cam legends to improvise over the same backing track in the key of C. What I did not say was that there were some spicy things going on in the track... We're seeing how everyone approached playing a solo over the same set of chords!

      After going through these a few times I was hearing what everyone else seems to be hearing. Chris Buck and Pete Thorn both have that special sauce in their playing. It's the dynamics and their ability to fluidly connect the notes like a singers voice. It's quite unbelievable. At this level all of these players are tremendous and I love to hear the ideas they all bring to the table.

      I knew even before I heard any of them playing that Pete's offering was going to be the best. I still maintain that it was. I had the pleasure of meeting Pete in the U.K. Not only is he an extraordinary guitar player, but one of the kindest, most humble people I've ever met.

      Pete's solo was worthy of making this a Roy Orbison tune. Listen to the dreamy ending - he actually began the solo planning to end there I believe, maybe worked backwards.
      He elevated the music with incredibly thoughtful nuanced musical themes that were more than licks. I dig what he does, and that's a very nice powerful instrument he's got there.

    I've watched this a few times now, and still find Buck's playing amazing. The rest are phenomenal talents as well, including PAUL. It's odd that no one seemed to give him the praise he is due for his amazing playing, in addition to making this collab happen, and sharing it with the world. I tip my hat to you, Paul. Thank you.

    Chris Buck is a genius. Don't think I've ever head as much delicacy of playing squashed into 8 bars. Brilliant video throughout, very interesting.

    Chris buck not only left Paul Davids speechless, but when Paul tried to play it he LITERALLY THREW IN THE TOWEL and said “it just doesn’t sound the same.” I’m a guitarist and now I know why you are envious of him @Paul Davids. Absolutely beautiful playing

      Yep, his style means he needed more time. But you don't always gets 16 / 32 bars and if you have to get it done in 8 then that's what you have to do.
