Scotty Anderson at NAMM 1986 - Part Three

Finally! Here is part three and what a marvelous conclusion it is! As a recap from the other two postings, my late teacher Ted Greene turned me on to Scotty, who is an awesome guitar player, as you will soon witness for yourself. In 1986, Ted gave me an incredible VHS tape of Scotty Anderson playing at the NAMM show that year. It is STILL a WOW experience for me! Like all VHS tapes, being of magnetic nature , degrades over time. My goal is to preserve this great video, archiving it into three parts and share it with my subscribers. If you have subscribed, thank you! I will strive make more exciting content such as this available in the future.
Yes, I saved the best for last! Scotty has returned to the Yamaha guitar booth, promoting a Yamaha APX1000 model, an acoustic-electric. Scotty’s guitar is amplified and acoustically aligned to the video camera’s directional mic. It sounds really good! In this video, there are some really good close- up shots of Scotty’s right hand work. Very cool!
I have created a song list of nine songs Scotty plays here, not all new. He plays a few that he previously played in part one, but plays them so wonderfully different here. Unfortunately, the tape snagged and we lost the end of the first song and took out the beginning of the second song. Sad! I need your HELP again to indentify another unknown song, song #8. I will update it as it becomes available. Scotty is from the ‘Chet Atkins’ camp, played CAAS at times, so his repertoire is probably similar to Chet’s. ALSO, if you know the name of his accompanist that would be very cool, too. Scotty? I will update this as time permits until all the missing info gets filled in and becomes complete. Consider this a work in progress!

"Scotty Anderson ... he is so exciting to listen to, even more to watch, has a 'million' ideas and leaves other guitar players shaking their heads in disbelief ... If he's not one of the greatest guitar players in the world, nobody is." Ted Greene interview (Just Jazz Guitar magazine, Issue #23, May 2000, page 61)
