For Lack of a Better Title, I’ll Just Call This One “Perseverance”

guitar lesson blog Wow, and to think some people give up on playing guitar because their fingers get too sore. You've got to wonder how many times he's dropped that pick into the sound hole.

Jingle Bells By Gary Hoey
Posted by: Brian within Interesting Finds  
guitar lesson blog

Ok, so I’m walking through the Jewel (daa Jewelllssssss - if you’re from Chicago) tonight and I hear this killer ultra-twangy version of Jingle Bells playing over the store intercom.  It was so good in fact that I had to stop and use the Shazam app on the iPhone to be able to identify who it was.  Turns out it’s Gary Hoey.  I remember Gary Hoey from back in the 90s and to be honest had all but forgotten about him.. apparently this song came from his 1995 album “Ho Ho Hoey” (yes actual title).  I have no idea what the rest of that album is like, but if you’re into twang guitar (a.k.a. chicken pickin’) - you’ll like this one.  Here’s the link to Gary Hoey’s Jingle Bells
