I think the narration is from an old UK TV programme from almost 30 years ago. I'm seeing Jerry playing tomorrow evening. I can't play but I know he can - let's just celebrate and applaud that he can play one style of music/guitar. There's also J Beck, A Forcione, B Kessel, J Bream, P Pena, BB King, F Mussida, M Knopfler, G Boyle, G Carmichael, L Carlton, L Ritenour, M Gilderdale, G Geissman, A Segovia, B Lagrene et al. They're all great and they share their talents with us.

Actually 16 pounds tension shouldn't be far fetched. I'm looking at the string package for my mandolin strings and the string information is:

G - Diameter: 0.038 in. Tension: 18.1 lbs
D - Diameter: 0.024 in. Tension: 19.0 lbs
A - Diameter: 0.015 in. Tension: 19.2 lbs
E - Diameter: 0.011 in. Tension: 23.2 lbs

So, yeah they're not guitar strings, but 16 lbs shouldn't be outrageous.

Absolutely fantastic. When I first heard him, I thought he must've been using a string bender.

stratmaster136 Your only in 8th grade and you don't find much that takes your breath away. I used to think like you about 35 years ago. I've studied all the greats in all styles over the years. I could give you a list of so many great players known and unknown. And the unknown ones are probably better than anyone you've heard of. What players do you consider great? formally mastercollector and now Gattonmaster

No, I don't mean I'm in 8th grade (like the USA school system), I mean I've just done my Grade 8 guitar - the last exam you can take in preparation for a teaching diploma (in the UK anyway). I'm 17, and have only been playing for just over 3 years, so there are plenty of things for me still to discover, but as I can play most things I come across, they do not amaze me. I would never have thought of playing like this, though.

Stratomaster checkout Danny Gatton live @ Gallaghers 88 if this takes your breath away you'll need to call the paramedics before you watch it

btw: what is the stomp box he uses? is it the JD20 (or 10?)?
