Thought Blue shirt man was just the rhythm....then he absolutely slaughtered an acoustic. Blew me away.
The light , good , and wholesome side of KZread .
This is amazing. They even mashed in some of the old M.A.S.H. theme song “suicide is painless” around the 4:02 mark. Very cool touch.
This is an hidden gem in youtube, remarkable arrangement and very well played!

Agreed I happen to find this very soothing to listen to and as a guitarist very coordinating to play
I, myself am an EJ copycat since I first heard Cliffs Of Dover in 1989, being a lead guitarist myself and him becoming one of my guitar heroes and influence. Today, there are much, more proficient copycats better than me. But, also today I first saw this and it's so refreshing to see artists maybe our same age as Eric(was also born in 1954) playing a version all their own. And not of copycats. Cheers! I just gained myself more guitar heroes.
The suicide is painless riff in there made me smile.
Let's not forget about the drummer. Good sound, controlled and tight.
4:00 A wild MASH theme song appears!
The way they adapted each aspect of the original, each solo, it was truly remarkable. It's all in there, if you know what to listen for.
Great sound.
Special thanks to youtube recomendation for this beautiful piece
Nice job, but, never thought I could be lulled to sleep by one of my favorite songs.
This is the magic of music, a great song emerging in a new, unexpected arrangement. How I love it!
Just wow! Didn't recognize it at first as the EJ song but so impressed! Glad I hung on til the end.
Thank you I really enjoyed that 😊
Great music here, Rick is a fantastic guitarist and always has been He used to come to our music store in Bryan Texas, what a great guy.
EJ would approve and be very appreciative of this fine arrangement. Truly masterful gentlemen!
BAM!!!!!!
I had no idea George Bush could play like that!

Wow I really dig this arrangement and its played phenomenally well. Great job guys!
That was beautiful. Everyone.
Great use of dynamics to showcase the soloists, these guys meld into the rhythm so well and know just how loud they need to sound in the mix
Absolutely epic from two OG shredders... bravo.
Never knew John Cleese could shred like that!

Glad to see Solid Snake still shredding away. 3:13 😂 when he suddenly forgets where he is
I am a bit biased to E.J.'s original & live versions. However, these Lads ROCK - - what an amazing rendition! 👏
Que buena versión acústica!!!, muy original y bien ejecutada virtuosa la digitación, supongo que Eric Johnson la aplaudira, excelente .
