[@johnstasio6205]

All that jazz on a “tele” perfectly beyond category 😎

[@ezekielokorie6775]

Just when you think you have heard it all. This is an incredible genius!

[@khudson4901]

I remember this competition. I think when you get to this level, competition is equal. CECIL IS KILLING IT.

[@josemolina959]

[@kennyblackbird5674]

I wouldn't believe what i was hearing if i didn't see with my own eyes him playing the chord passages!!

[@DrAdams-fx6gy]

Nice. Such smooth transitions both in chords and combinations of lead and chords. Teles, you can nice tones from them it's not all twangy like people identifie with. It's the players technique, possible change in pickups and amp settings. But mainly hands, dynamics in picking either with fingers, pick or using both at sametime.

Astonishing

[@Alanoffer]

Magic ,

[@MrMjp58]

High level!

[@franksanchezgarcia9707]

Nice!!

[@richardharrington6029]

Really nice use of lead tones and chord resolutions. If this is third place I gotta wonder who was first...

[@HancockInstitute]

Thanks for watching! The first-place winner that year was Evgeny Pobozhiy!

[@johnstasio6205]

Hey

[@HancockInstitute]

Glad you enjoyed, Dj!

[@anthonyshaw8698]

Exactly👍👍🤔 Genius!!!

[@DrewElGringasho]

Yea dj, cecil has a beautiful mind. You can feel it, see it.

[@kjjjjjjjj]

I think he should have won. Such a perfect performance he did, as usual.

[@realDonBen]

Better then Pascal...

[@eduardshvydchenko7485]

Bravo👍👍👍👏👏

[@VlogsNiKuyang]

Only third place? Why?

[@matthiasscheffler548]

Oooouufff

[@arnieus866]

Beautiful playing. However I reject the whole concept of competition in music, or any creative media. Why must we always do it. Was Cézanne better than Vincent van Gogh? Judging the sublime in competition is missing the point IMO.

[@hahabass]

I totally agree with you.

[@afxmnstr]

lol..... i gave it a thumbs up because it was amazing, but I had to click away because it was too intense.

[@artdevilliers9826]

Yikes. I love this gu's mind, & ability. he must sleep with his Tele.

[@jefferyboyle7276]

✌🎸🗿

[@guitarfreak521]

What? he came in third?!?

[@jean-lucbersou758]

audio = 000 .....TECHNICALLY . H.H.'s institute ignores sono and sound check .

[@HancockInstitute]

Sorry you didn't enjoy, Jean-Luc!

[@jean-lucbersou758]

[@christianmorenocova]

[@BourdeoixEterno]
