Wow, great stuff indeed! Also check out the clip of Chet and Mark Knopfler doing "I'll See You in My Dreams."

I don't think the young ladies sitting behind Chet get it.

Wow - thanks for posting Chet - that was great! Really tasty...here's a clip from YouTube of fingerstyle monster Scotty Anderson playing Sweet Georgia Brown. He's got lots of other clips also...

Very cool.

You know what I really like about that one? The old dude on the right playing rhythm isn't even breaking a sweat. He's doing some amazing rhythm work - yet if you were to view him from the chest up - you'd think he was was a member of the audience - he's just relaxed - smiling and appreciating Scotty's playing while his hand moves up and down the fretboard seemingly under its own power - tying up musical loose ends without getting in the way. I love to see that kind of mastery.

Of course... I'm a rhythm guitar player so I spend most of my time watching the guys on the right... ... but nonetheless, he's great - they both are.
