Popa Chubby’s guitar playing is SO unique & creative, he can blow most other guitarists right OFF THE STAGE without even trying!

[@reneebaer9929]

Incredible! That man can make that guitar sing! Amazing! Took my breath away ❤

[@BBQDad463]

Best cover of "Over The Rainbow" I have ever heard---and I am 70 years old.

[@ballbloo]

Every note he plays comes from his heart and soul. That is Popa Chubby.

[@12345miletic]

legend

[@howardstern3711]

Any guitarist would know how many hours of practice are required to play this well.Plays with passion and loves every second of it. His music comes from his soul. Is it possible to be Humble and jealous simultaneously? Yes!

[@donnaforman3366]

One of the best ever

[@stevetrivago]

Absolutely.. I’d say 8-10 hrs a day for 15-20 years to be close

[@dyingsun23]

Really love the way he sits there at the beginning, jamming out some idle licks, and before you know it he's merged smooth as silk into a brilliant rendition of an old classic. This guy could make anything sound good!

[@PTrolin]

You blow away when you hear Popa play ;)

[@formulacub9953]

Thanks to You Tube, in the past two weeks, I discovered Popa Chubby. His Hey Joe is just sublime. I'm pleased that now I can hear so much more. He's by all accounts big in France. I live here now so I'm going to go and see him asap.

[@bcummings2187]

Ahh...Popa.......took a chance at a small club in Teaneck NJ in 2001 and saw him .....awesome ......great original underground blues guy at the time who deserves more recognition. He keeps it real.
