There are fretboard blazers out there. There are smooth melodicists who can tug at your heart. There are a legions of wood choppers who shun any attempt at finessing a guitar’s capabilities. Then there’s Mr. Johnson - the guitar becomes an organic extension of him. His is one of the most impressive displays of musical expression I’ve ever witnessed.

Anyone else remember the days when you'd take the new LP home from the record shop and listen to find your favourite tracks? If you were lucky there'd be at least one that would make you really sit up and take notice and no more than one which was a bit "meh". Approach this video like an LP and it's an absolute corker. Not a single dud. And I have no idea what you're up to in the Robert Johnson one. Did you sprout invisible extra fingers and stretch space-time? How can you fit those notes in and still sound like there's room for more but you've chosen to leave them out? Mastery is always inspring to behold. Thank you, sir.
