I can see myself, the first time watching this, thinking..oh this is blues..then.. no this western, then..nope I hear jazz..then, nope..I hear classical..Then.. screw it..It's Willie!!! What a musician!!!
no one ever mentions Willie's guitar work... i think he must be one of the most underrated guitarists in country. clearly an artist who has mastered his craft.
One of the finest guitar accompaniments I've ever heard. His mastery of the guitar is so under-appreciated due to his songwriting, voice, and style. It seems he's improvising and making it up on the fly as he's going along too. Listen to the rhythmical changes and soulful, jazzy, and in some places even flamenco-ish instrumental riffs during his solos bring tears to my eyes. Just look at the faces of his peers as they listen to his fingers skate over that fretboard.
