[@ferdynantkiepski8309]

George Benson is true legend and inspiration.

[@TheJazzweed]

Man ! what incredible phrasing , the man is just amazing !!

[@stephenburks7895]

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!!

[@mariagladysangel]

Guitar master!

[@fryelee11]

That was fantastic! it gave me the chills and i'm not just saying that because he's my favorite. It was that good!

[@rizinggodfist3049]

He/they should've "drop the mic" with that performance!🤯....they were all groovin somethin fierce!🔥....extremely well done👍🏾....thx for posting friend.

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!

[@CalypsoMagicMusic]

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

[@a.c.king-dk5yl1ep2m]

Thanks! I looked it up. sadly, I still can't do it.

[@CalypsoMagicMusic]

Takes practice.

[@charlesduckettjr.800]

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

[@boreed5734]

Heard he was a child prodigy did u hear that?

[@foodbackstories]

And kudos to bassist Stanley Banks and rhythm guitarist Michael O Neill who still are with him on the circuit today

[@briantambe6101]

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

[@arniemax1]

[@frankiethewolf7712]

I refuse to believe you can play like this and not make mistakes in a live session of this caliber but then again this is george benson were talking about... the master of his craft on full display and in full effect. Tap into that flow state Mr. benson! #youmakemebelieve #goat

Dude....... That was badass!!!

[@hotfunkcooljazz]

[@gabri3l367]

The groove !!!

[@apollosolo1582]

Excellent Live version, however, it's hard to recapture the true beauty of this song in a live setting, nevertheless, and I repeat...Excellent!

[@MattBlackParis]

great version

[@TheGitaristgitarist]

Maestro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LockyTheRocker]

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.

[@hotfunkcooljazz]

glad you liked it !

[@taildragger53]

I'm guessing this was around 1985? Great video..thanks.

[@neilloughran4437]

1987-1990. The keyboardist is using a Roland D50 and they were popular in that period.

[@BigEmptyZen]

It's too bad the best part of the song (very beginning) was cut off : ((
