Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen - Help Me Somebody (Live @ The Maple Leaf)

[@grahamrikihana4656]

It's 2023 and this is one of the greatest guitar solo's I have had the pleasure of listening to and observing the performer expressing his craft in 53 years in the music business and I've heard heaps. Thank you Dewin Perkins. What an absolute pleasure to listen to you.

[@mrbertiep1]

Big D - Derwin Perkins is one the most individual voices on guitar out there and this meticulously crafted MELODIC solo filled with beautiful phrasing and chord melody is a shining example. Simply soulful and heartfelt!!! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for this wonderful post.
