        If you are like me, your family is probably deep into the weeds of Christmas music at this point. And while there are some amazing renditions of classics out there, some of the modern stuff I find…uh…lacking. Especially when it comes to actual musical instruments and especially the guitar.

        Here are a couple I come back to this time of year for superb musicianship, and excellent guitar playing

        Hope some of you can through these on and have a Merry Holiday!

          I’ve never heard of that guy before. He is an awesome guitar player for sure. That steel guitar playing on the Rickenbacker is ridiculous. That takes a lot of skill to pull that off.

          Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

              Wow! Quite the list Bill. Just scratched the surface but Barney Kessel’s “Blues” is a knockout!
