George is just so amazing !!! From the first time I heard him play at a young age, I wanted to play like him! Now, I get so many compliments of my style of playing. Mr Benson, you have inspired so many young/old guitarists! Your humbleness and effortless playing talent has given the world a template for life!!

I've watched this video many times trying figure out how he plays like this. It's still a mystery to me. But, for the first time I watched it while listening through a really good set of earbuds. If you haven't done it, you should. I can now hear all the subtle notes that I didn't get through my computer speakers. It's even better than I though, and I always thought it was spectacular. He's a natural, he plays as easily as most people breathe. Now; will somebody please find and post the entire performance!

He uses a flamenco technique called Apoyando. Look it up.

Wrong. Benson plays with a flatpick. Has zero connection to Flamenco technique. Maybe you are not a guitar player.

Phil Upchurch was his rhythm guitarist for years!! I saw GB for the 1st time in August 1978 and Upchurch , Stanley Banks , George Dalto , Ronnie Foster , Harvey Mason and Ralph McDonald were his band members

Hey, whats the bassist doing, with his foot, like whats it called? And whats the thing he using called? Im in a Jazz band, if I could teach my bassist how to use those (Christmas Bells?) with his feet, it would add so much more texture to our music.
