    Dovy you always make me smile. You always tell folks something to the effect of "I will play your request, though it may not sound note for note like the original artist, but it's my interpretation and I hope you enjoy my version". So boo to anyone who doesn't like his version because they say it does not compare to the original artist. I think he knows it might not sound like the original but he hopes we will enjoy it anyway.

    Hi David
    Been wanting to tell you this for a long time. I am an old rocker from the 60s and had stopped playing guitar completely for various reasons but when I first saw you and what you were doing, you inspired me to go back to my roots and play again, now I do not perform any longer, but play for my own entertainment. I even build a studio to record a lot of the old songs I wrote, and some of the new ones I know you had some strife in your life and I hope you can overcome that anyway, Thank you again for being you. And for the inspiration you gave me. Best regards, Ralph.

  • @PhilKelley
    @PhilKelley 2 роки тому +5

    Dovydas, you are far too humble about your guitar-playing abilities, I recently learned that Eric Johnson himself has made positive comments about your playing. I foresee the day when the great guitarists will consider it an honor and a privilege to have their songs "massacred" (if that is the correct term; I seem to recall you using that word yourself in your Quarantine Concerts) by you. It takes a lot of skill to cover a song exactly as the original artist performed it. It takes genius to make it almost an entirely new work, the way you do. Thank you for doing excellent work and for giving us an example of being "excellent to everyone".

    The way you redefine a song is simply fantastic, a song that is already beautiful, I dare say, when it gets its clothes, it gets better, within your style and genius! It's always a pleasure to hear your presentations, your guitar has soul, personality, that's why it's very successful!

  • @jasondawley2795

    Incredible that you can pull off the flagship piece of one of the world's most technical guitarists "off the cuff". Was it note-for-note? Of course not but that wasn't the mission and I could tell immediately that you had a vision for what you wanted your version to sound like and you nailed it. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
