    Just one of those ones you gotta do...
    "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was written by George Harrison and was originally released in 1968 by the Beatles on their self titled LP ("the White album"). Apparently Eric Clapton laid down a part on it? Famously covered by Jeff Healey (my personal favourite) and many others including Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lyne, Todd Rundgren etc.
    It's a classic. Here you go. Enjoy!

    The way you merge rythm and lead guitar is freeking awesome. Your skill is insane. Your dynamics is strong and you never loose acuracy and rythm. You'r actualy my inspiration to improuv folk guitar and enrich my way to play songs.

      The crazy thing about this guy is that guitar playing is actually his weakest musical skill. His fingers can't quite follow his brain, but it doesnt matter when he sings so well and arrange the songs the way he do.

    I just discovered you. You are fascinating to watch, as, you seem proficient, yet you let the music flow through you. You let the music do the talking. When you sing, your voice is almost the accompaniment to the guitar, instead of the other way around. You are captivating, as well as inspirational. I am trying to teach myself guitar so I can accompany my voice, and, it is difficult. You make it look easy. I think, you have great talent, as well as no fear of letting the music take over. I will definitely be watching more of you.
