One more incredible acoustic guitar song from 2 incredible guitar players. This is an awesome rendition of an old classic. Very Original. I was blown away. Sit back, watch and enjoy.
One of my faves too.
Music ping.
I used to play a little guitar and this was on of my faves. A couple of my kids play and I made sure they knew this song.
Outstanding! Thanks!
I’ve heard a thousand versions of this song (including my own which I have played a thousand times), but this one is really unique.
The blending of the steel string and classical guitars is amazing and the way they work through the different styles and variations is just mind blowing.
I can’t believe 4 people actually gave this a thumbs down on You Tube.

bump for later
Thank you.
Great post. Used to play this when I was a kid.
Very nice! Thanks!
I have always felt that I would have been happiest had I been born around 1936...the pulps, golden age of comics, old-time radio. Good times. Thanks...plenty to listen to while prepping the garden this spring.
I used to have an online Old Time Radio Station and I played episodes of The Shadow. One day I got a Cease and Desist letter from Conde Nast. I had to remove all the Shadow programs from my station.
I’m amazed that there are sites out there that allow it to be streamed. Maybe somebody challenged their copyright and Conde Nast took it to court and lost. I don’t know. These shows were already in the public domain when Conde Nast asserted copyright ownership.
The Shadow was a good one. Especially with Orson Wells.
Thanks for posting this.
During home school, my youngest and I took guitar lessons. I can’t play like that, but I can do jingles. My son plays pretty well and strums for relaxation in down time. He can compose and sing, too. He says it’s a girl magnet.
Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing.
Classical Gas and Stairway to Heaven were required songs for budding fingerpickers in the 60's.
Classical Gas was one of the first, if not the first, fingerpicking song I learned. I also learned Angie by Paul Simon. I still play both.
But I can't play it as well as these two.
Cease and desist? Ye gads. CN isn’t doing anything with the property; step aside, and let the good times roll..again.
I’ll see that and raise you Tommy Emmanuel.
