Better then Pascal...
Astonishing
Beautiful capability. Great student of jazz.
Nice. Such smooth transitions both in chords and combinations of lead and chords. Teles, you can nice tones from them it's not all twangy like people identifie with. It's the players technique, possible change in pickups and amp settings. But mainly hands, dynamics in picking either with fingers, pick or using both at sametime.
Nice!!
Magic ,
High level!
Class
Bravo👍👍👍👏👏
Nice playing. He holds the pick like Benson.
Really nice use of lead tones and chord resolutions. If this is third place I gotta wonder who was first...

Hey
Yikes. I love this gu's mind, & ability. he must sleep with his Tele.
Only third place? Why?
Oooouufff
lol..... i gave it a thumbs up because it was amazing, but I had to click away because it was too intense.
✌🎸🗿
Beautiful playing. However I reject the whole concept of competition in music, or any creative media. Why must we always do it. Was Cézanne better than Vincent van Gogh? Judging the sublime in competition is missing the point IMO.
