What an awesome find! I found him by accident as I falling asleep on the couch and he was playing with ZZ Wall. He's great because he reminds me of no one. A unique talent!!

Unreal. the lyricism and musicality of his playing is so good

These type of R&B chords w/ the thumb over the top and chord fragments/runs reminds me that this is where Hendrix got these from, the R&B guitar scene.

It’s really hard, man. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find much. It seems this style is just a small niche that lives between R&B and gospel church music. Even knowing a few names didn’t do me much good, because these guys typically just make a living playing back up in hip hop or R&B records. They only seem to play these smooth guitar based jams in sparse KZread videos here or there. Like Namm and other guitar related gear conventions. If it helps you at all, the same 3 names keep coming up: Erick Walls, Isaiah Sharkey and Spanky Alford. Again, it didn’t help me much to know their names, because there seems to be no recorded CD’s with this music in mind. The closest you can get to something like this, is smooth jazz records. Like in the style of Terence Young, which you can also find here in KZread. I hope this helps.

He's probably tired of this question, but I *NEED* to know: what's he using for his pick? Looks like something wrapped around his thumb, but not a thumbpick... or maybe it is - LOL! I can play very accurately with my thumb and fingers, but with a flatpick, NO. I'm a clutz. And I need to have that sharp attack of a pick, with the accuracy I can get with my thumb. What is he doing? Anybody know? Please help!
