Waaay too much thought and hours behind his technique to call any of it “gimmick”!!! His rhythmic bounce reminds me of Chet Atkins, who was often overlooked as a “square” but in fact “genius”

I LOVE the interaction between Nathaniel's guitar-playing and Rick's remarkable ear, which recognizes every chord variation, specific harmonic shifts, and nuances. I'm in awe of you both.

Thank you, Rick, for bringing Nathaniel to a broader audience. Don't want to 'lose' our Belmullet-Manchester-Chicago lad, but he deserves this long overdue broader exposure.

Nathaniel Murphy is a force of nature. I always loved how humour was a big part of so many guitar players back in the 40s and 50s and you don’t see that anymore. The only two players I can think of are Nathaniel Murphy and Greg Koch, both play the most absurd things in such a cheeky way that you can’t help but laugh.

This dude is a true fretboard wizard with real style and flare.

The combination of skills to do this... Amazing. Knowledge of chord theory. Listening skills. Understanding of fretboard and voicings on guitar. Arranging skills. And being able to actually PLAY the arrangement. Nathaniel is a one in a billion musical mind. Much like Tommy Emmanual, Bela Fleck and a few others.

@@jonherdman6282 in terms of style and uniqueness Guthrie is quite special. Not saying Mateo's isn't but Guthrie is astounding, Rick has mentioned him a few times. There's videos of him playing mind blowing stuff. Not to mention the original comment isn't very factual bc Rick has this same expression with many guitarists honestly. I don't even think he was "blown away" at all. He had more reactions in other interviews like Animals as Leaders and Polyphia. He's always expressive like he was in this one. Guthrie would be no exception✌️

As a Chicago resident and CME frequenter, this is wonderful. Nathaniel is a remarkable MUSICIAN. he is beyond just being a guitarist... but at the same time, his musicianship is inspired by the idiomatic strengths and weaknesses of the guitar. Something to strive for.

Agreed - the cool thing for me is that someone with such advanced, nuanced, unique chops, is often short on the broader musical skills - not dude, not at all. HF.

I'm blessed to have had Nathaniel as a teacher and a mentor. I have never met someone in the guitar community more humble with more talent. It is so exciting to see him get the recognition in a channel such as this Rick. Amazing stuff!

I met Nathaniel at CME while in Chicago and he was the most down to earth person I ever met. Such a cool dude and awesome player. Excellent interview, Rick.

Enthralled for 30 minutes. Don't be so Modest Nat, "gimmicky" my ass! It's no more gimmicky than anything played by anyone ever. You are a Brilliant Player, problem solver, your dedication is unmatched. BRAVO, and thank you for entertaining, teaching, and showing us YOU all these years!!

My goodness… I genuinely can’t stop watching Nathaniel play. And… he is genuinely one of the nicest people ever. Period.

Wow this fella is Chet Atkins,Les Paul and ERIC Johnson all in one!!!loved his use of harmonics and chord inversions!

I have had the occasion to meet Nathaniel Murphy after a concert, and have seen him around CME a few times. (I was actually at CME the day of this recording and saw Nathaniel and Rick walking around and talking.) Nathaniel truly is the kind and humble guy he appears to be. He’s a good dude.

It was such a privilege to see him play and see him get excited about the new equipment and other players. He deserves everything and more. Cheers, mate!

Wow. What an interview. Such a beautiful interaction. Seeing Rick giggling at the absurdity of Nathaniel’s playing at the same time as myself. Wonderful ❤❤❤

And given the Bears great picks in this year's draft (Round 1 25 April), Nathaniel should have some great football to watch while practicing his craft. Wow! My next door neighbor in north Idaho came from Chicago, and is a fan of the Cubs and Wrigley Field, too. I became a fan when our local cable company had WGN as its feed in Cordova, AK.

This episode was so fun to watch! Two awesome musicians chatting and having a good mood. Thank you both🙂👍

Wow. First time hearing Nathaniel, I love that his biggest goal is to serve the music! Never gimmicky, just whatever it takes to serve the source material. Excellent!

🎶 First I've heard this approach of "independence of feel" coined by the great solo jazz guitarist, Tuck Andres (of Tuck and Patti and uncle of Berklee alum, Saint Vincent) in the 80s. He also played walking bass in legato, as a bass player would. Then at the same time he played the top note melody, then added staccato comping like a keyboardist, and then a rhythm section percussion on the strings.

Really nice to see so many young players these days... ❤

It's amazing to see you on Rick's channel mate. Super proud of you. Always been a phenomenal player. ♥

Thank you so much Rick, for that amazing and inpiring interview. It was a lesson in many ways. Not just the guitar playing. Greetings from Villarrica, the south of Chile.

I've told Nathaniel several times over the years via direct message on Instagram that he makes me want to throw every single bit of my gear in the trash. What an absolute juggernaut of a player. My favorite pure guitar player hands down

Guy won my heart when he busted out “Crazy Little Thing”, incredible! Great interview

I found this guy in a video on Rhett's channel playing a Gibson acoustic with a B bender and he blew my mind that day. This is an entire new level of genius

wow this dude is solid... he is playing absolutely clean and just smashing each note and adding accents perfectly as well.. bravo!

Nathaniel is one of the nicest & most humble guests you ever had on the show Rick. I love this man.

So cool how he craves playing. Clearly enjoys what he does, and too humble for how good he is. Really nice dude.

This is spectacular. I've become quite a fan of Rick Beato 'cause I love music. To hear him and a master guitarist discuss music in its complexities and beauties is a real treat.

I wish this interview went on for hours. I love watching him play, it’s so relaxing yet so entertaining. He seems like such a nice guy too.

It always amazes me how creative people can be about playing guitar, and how many ways you can play it❗️

We need more Nathaniel! Pure genius!!!

10:23 "I'm just having fun which is the best way to describe it". That's pure love & truth 🙏

Yet another great interview with such a fantastic musician and humble guy. I sat and watched/listened with a big smile. 😊

What a way to have fun playing Ramble On. Mahalo for the great video!

Rick, can we get Nathaniel and Matteo together in your studio for a video? That would be epic.

Another great interview Rick - first time i've heard/seen Nathaniel, damn the laddie can play! Beautiful arrangements

This felt like an insane Master Class! Best takeaway- be a problem-solver! Thank you both!!

This guy's awesome. At one point he mentioned Joe Pass and I didn't understand why until he played something that sounded just like him. He later on mentioned a "piano-like" style and next thing he played sounded just like Stanley Jordan. He truly is a one-man band.

These dudes from Ireland and England continuously and historically show up as innovative and learned virtuoso guitarists

This guy is the only reason I still look at Instagram. Incredible player and great interview!

Nathaniel is one of a kind. And what a kind human being!

What a lovely interview , I first saw Nathaniel playing “ In My Life “ my favourite Beatles song by my favourite band , and along with watching the videos of Rick Beato at the age of 60 I have fallen back in love with music and learning to play guitar again , so thank you both very much for your time inspiration and a now happier life 😀👍🙏.

What another amazing interview. Nathaniel is such an amazing, talented guitarist, and so very humble . Awesome stuff 👍🏻

I love the joy of his playing.

I love how he layers in the percussive elements

I ran into his videos a few years ago and his playing never stops knocking my socks off.

Stunning guitar playing. Fascinating. Rory Gallagher had such abilities in my opinion. A rare touch. Understated and lots and lots of practice and skill. Thank you Rick. Inspirational.

I saw this dude on Rhett Shull's channel and he was rocking a "B bender" rig. He is so talented. Love him.

Rick, Rick, Rick, thank you.. This was great! I am an old jazz guy but I pulled a grin muscle watching this.. Fantastic..

Holed up in the basement of Chicago Music Exchange lies this enormous talent!! Great interview, as always Rick you know every right question and share such amazing insights into the various artists.

Once again, the quality of your channel is beyond the realm of KZread at this point. Always blessed to watch.

Just remember MrB, if you're feeling overawed, you can play the Kid Charlemagne solo to the note ⭐️ and that is impressive

I have followed him for a couple of years and have always wondered why he wasn't in a band or a studio musician. He is extremally talented guitar player and seems like a really good guy.

You really deserved this Nathaniel. I’m grateful for the tech bits and your IG channel.

I love Rick's channel. Literally 'just' youtube videos but the recording quality is straight up album quality. Murphy on that guitar, with that amp has got to be one of the most buttery sounds I've ever heard.

I love it when guitarists think out of the box and actually use the guitar in totally unique ways.

REALLY, thank you SO much for this. Nathaniel's playing and arrangements, genuinely remind me of my Dad, and his approach to arrangement. Felt like being in the same room as him again. really miss that guy. my Dad was cool as fuck.

Two of the nicest gents in music…living in Chicago, I’ve been lucky enough to chat to Nathan in CME and hope I get to meet Rick soon…
