I wonder if he earn well enough for these shows... Behind to this perfection there are so much years from his life... Worth all the money in the world! He is SO talented!!! And I like so much all this joy when he play on guitar. It is obvious that playing the guitar is his reason to live! Very touching indeed!

Ewan Dobson!!!Für mich der beste Gitarrist👍👍👍

[@TheSibler]

is echt so

[@PissedOff-m2z]

check out Luca Stricanoli

[@indy4ever]

A very elegantly understated little tune - it's very easy on the ear, and he makes it sound easy to play, but looking at it I think it's not a piece I would tackle lightly. I particularly like how seamlessly the slide parts are incorporated into the melody. Great work.

[@Sinskita]

ADHD, OCD, and Tourette's couldn't stop this man from being a total badass. One can't help but admire his genius. He's not too bad to look at either... :)

[@kreggr17]

Been working on learning this one. It's so much fun to play.

[@TheSpoonwood]

A GREAT title for a Song ! Evocative.

[@leo.mariano]

[@ИгорьБаранчук-ц8ц]

Браво !!! Одной рукой играет две партии!

[@kennethshaw7453]

he actually entertained me lol . dosen't happen all the time

[@geterpleyer]

I love this on par with the finest musicans I've ever heard god won't let me play but gave me the ability to recognize.

[@thepoint08]

That's like tipping your server at the pub a penny... you must (stereotypically)either be an RPF, a Teacher, or a Scot. Or you decided Mr dobson's style of music is not your cuppa tea. I have this neat bridge you can live under... :)

[@singultus81]

I heard a little "Whiskey Before Breakfast" in there 3:49

[@focusidiotus1180]

Nice

[@joshuathomson8925]

Did anyone else notice the Whiskey Before Breakfast references?

[@charlescyklop1679]

Why no one get the microphone higher ?

[@zdenozamecnik1658]

Can I buy tabs for this one? I can't find it on Ewan's website

[@danielibnz]

Well, it is on gtptabs, on gp5 format. Try and catch it while you still can, since musicians obviously have the right to get paid. I personally think this is an exercise piece. The performance is impeccable though.

[@PAUPERGANDA]

I'm the uncle of one of the best...I asked him one drunken evening...."who intimidates you?" - "Ewan Dobson."

[@JLeeMichelfelder]

lol miss skateboarding w you

[@hatthomas555]

It's called a palm mute....and if you've ever played metal, you already know.

[@RuggedWogan]

Castle Crashers anyone?

[@bbtg666]

probably 5 bucks

[@heathervickers164]

just a little practice to make it less ragged and more precise.

[@Ghawrod]

those single finger picking styles look to me something like "im alone on the scene with no orchestra and I f* ** you because I'm the orchestra". .. excellent ! one man is enough as good as he is :)

[@oldspam]

Miss the lamp shade . great playing

[@FISHERPACO]

It´s Great, awesome

[@BolasDaGrk]

It almost sounded like Kings Quest 5 (KQ5) song initially, inside the village... Sorry, that was nostalgia. Dude, you play so well. It doesn't even feel like one person is playing.

[@cyaard]

muscle memory, we all have it :)

[@hawkeyetibor]

This is the only musician i would be willing to pay any price to see in concert, sadly i have yet to see him play live.

[@motoronna]

@DJustice91 Hah! Well-spotted. He didn't actually stop - he kept it going while picking up the slide, but I think because he hadn't intended to play this song in the first place, it took a little longer to locate the slide than he expected, and there a few too any filler bars - so I snipped a couple out. Funnily enough, he has the slide at the start when he's introducing the song, so maybe you're right that he can't wear it all the way through. Cheers!

[@burb4125]

I love your playing and the song. thank you so much. Please come to Chicago and play. Keep up the good work. A good looking guy would be a hit in any place you play

[@UnnecessaryMountain]

I think this is in fact an arrangement of Whiskey Before Breakfast, done as Paganini might have arranged it, and with some slide guitar thrown in just because. Hence the title, 'Paganini's Whiskey'. :-)

[@zacheriahlampinen6101]

did you come up with the term whiskey for the sorta stumble waltz feel of this type of piece. also since I purchased Ewan II I probably listened to it for as many hours since the purchase :) wonderful talent and great fun.

[@evimarouli4251]

Amazing...!!!

[@ismaelhoschler5872]

Muito bom.

[@SuperHappyLuckySeven]

I've listened to this 10 times in a row now...

[@Sinskita]

Well I can't stay focused on anything... even the things that do interest me. I haven't been formally diagnosed with anything though, since I feel like doctors are way too quick to throw out diagnoses nowadays, and I'm not comfortable with the idea of taking medication.

[@Methos06wd]

Whiskey Before Breakfast! Nice.

[@strawhat9320]
