I love the fact we can get exposed to so many things from all over the world that might not have been considered commercially viable had they only had the old route of a demo sent to a record company.

Yes, YouTube rabbithole is a great description, there is so much out there, old things I have almost forgotten, and totally new things like this. That was fun.

My wife listens to Henry Mancinis version on loop when she naps.

I'm no where near to being a professional guitar player but I couldn't listen to it because of all the terrible squeaking. I took lessons for a couple of years and my teacher was a professional and he would not abide that one bit.

It is a combination of technique and the mic being too close. I only listened to the opening and it sounded like there was really only one of the guys that was guilty. As far as it sounding more authentic it sounds like someone needs to go back and learn how to play. I know I am being a dick about it but there is no good excuse for a professional to do it; squeaking is my pet peeve in guitar music.

Doc, Carlos Montoya was a man who knew his way around the guitar, nothing the man did was accidental.

I saw Carlos Montoya in Cleveland, Ohio about 1960 then in Wickenburg, Arizona in 1983. What a player. The tapping the the guitar body adds a bit of percussion. T.T.

Yup, from a fire. You can really tell when watching him play but you'll never hear it if you just listen. He was also an inspiration to Tony Iommi when he lost the tips of two fingers on his right hand and at first thought he'd have to quit playing.

As a former trumpet player, I have to wonder how that thing even works. Hard to see for sure but it looks like it just has some holes something like a flute.
