This guy is a hidden jem!,I love his opening tune,most slide dvd's are go through the same worn out Elmore James licks....blah,blah.His turn arounds are original,his chord voicings are original,his ascending climb to the IV chord knocks me out! I just wish he did a whole slide cd,plus that thumb at the bottom of the neck is a great idea.
