House of the Rising Sun

[@briangrobe9544]

This was the song that made me realize the power of live music and my love for it. I was like 5-6 years old and my family had just moved into our new house. One night we were all talking and hanging out before bed in what would become our family room, we were just sitting around on what we had set up, there was stuff everywhere. At some point my dad opened up this guitar case which was sat next to the couch on his side on the floor. It was a 1950 Gibson L5. I didn’t know anything about anything. But when he picked that up he started playing this song and the impact that experience had on me totally changed my life. He may have played in front of me before that but for me that was my first memory of him doing that and it was incredible. I went on to play drums he bought me my first set at 9yrs old. I’m 39 now and picked up guitar about 5 years ago. He gave me that Gibson a couple years ago. Almost brings tears to my eyes when I think about it. My uncle used to own a venue called the Skyline Lounge. He still plays now and then in his band Lyle Grobe & The Rhythm Ramblers. I only wish I was into guitar when I was young it would’ve been great to have something like that to bond over.

[@raifparker3990]

I think in the end you guys bonded over music in general. That is plenty to be happy about :) He bought you your first drum set because he wanted you to have the tools to succeed in that. Hope you guys have jammed before!!

[@Mira_st17]

this story made me very happy today :) thanks for sharing

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers for sharing, Brian. It’s great what music can do. Thanks for watching!

[@HonRevPTB]

Your father gave you a 1950 Gibson L5!?!?!? Well I dare say there's no better way to say he loves you than that, unless he gives you a Byrdland or a 59 Les Paul Burst!!!

[@rogon6294]

I have studied the "greats" of modern guitar music my entire adult life. I am just stunned here. What else is there to say.

[@seanmannguitar]

Thanks a lot!

[@davidsiegeld576]

I don't see how anyone can watch this and not offer superlatives.

[@afterburner666]

That was a thing of beauty!. From the bluesy to a little Spanish back to blues and then the overdrive with the wah turned a simple song into mini masterpiece. 👏👏👏

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers!!

[@DrAdams-fx6gy]

One hell of a guitarist and musician, with taste without over playing. This guy is amazing with what he does with songs, taking them to a new level.

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers man!

[@Garrett9339]

I love how it just kept building and building until the lead high up on the neck with the overdriven sound and wah. Masterful playing.

[@seanmannguitar]

Thank you!!

[@davidsiegeld576]

Agreed! When he kicked in the wah it was an explosive moment that just kept getting exciting and interesting.

[@neildillon837]

This moved me...the best rendition of this classic that I've heard.

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers!!

[@m98r26]

Hand and finger movements in this clip are so elegant, a beauty in and of itself!

I love the balance of creativity and musicianship. Very powerful

[@stuartdennis8506]

The Spanish guitar part is just 👌🏻

[@seanmannguitar]

Thanks!

[@johnkenney501]

I would go to see you in concert if you ever toured. You have amazing talent that doesn't come along all too often.

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers John!

[@tengiz911]

Here we sit and admire the best guitar player alive, a try hero of new generation. I really hope that you will record an album

[@justethanol]

Ok I love the guy but he is not the best guitar player alive, it's gotta be eric gales or...............anyone near that guy lol eric gales man gotta study him but seriously with jeff beck and evh gone it's very hard to say who is the best alive but eric gales is mine and Sean Mann is easily the best bluesy guitarist on youtube right now.

I'd like to see him have a jam with that guy Maximilian that plays guitar for The Main Squeeze. They are similarly tasteful and while also extremely skilled and technical .

Sean you are simply amazing!!!! Much talent!!!!!!

[@riverbankfisher]

A virtuoso tour-de-force bravura performance that showcases the melodic mastery of Sean Mann expressed through the distinctive voice of a Fender Stratocaster in full cry, tastefully interspersed with nylon-string classical guitar pyrotechnics, all conjured up with the same pair of gifted hands.

[@seanmannguitar]

[@kurtc7290]

loved the transition to the wah voicing! Equally cool was the classical guitar piece which sets the room for the lift in energy for the wah... Just great feel in that pick hand and equally adapted to various techniques. Well done!
