Rest ye well, sir. And thanks for billions of musical memories from

Pepe Romero,
Recuerdos de la Alhambra.
The sound isn't the greatest, but crank up the speakers, find a quiet place, and listen in. It's worth the effort.
Watch him wring every last drop of music from every note. Masterful. This is how it's done, kids.

Ukulele Master
Mike, in the comments to the post below, got me thinking about great Hawai'ian musicians.
So how about Mr. Jake Shimabukuru, playing his wonderful arrangement of While My Guitar Gently Weeps?

For Guitar Players Only
The late Mr. Ted Greene. Send in the Clowns.
I didn't pick up the fiddle until I was 28 or so, when I found an old Hopf at Barry's Pawn Shop in Lebanon, Tennessee.
Prior to that, I was a chord-melody jazz guitar fanatic, from high school on.
I learned so much from Ted's book "Chord Chemistry," and consider it a must for any serious guitarist.
But it's nothing compared to simply listening to this great master.
