Outstanding examples of Musicianship


All this negativity towards Amy Winehouse got me thinking that there must be a better way to show how we all worship music and musicians.

This thread is for everyone to show their own favorite examples of absolutely superlative musicianship. Find your best youtube example of your hero musician playing an instrument like nobody else can. I am looking for some of the most exceptional examples on the planet - any genre.

Here is an example

You Tube up "Wes Montgomery" and pick one. Jazz guitar legend. I hate jazz and I can watch this guy for hours. smooth and flawless.
Orpheus: what risk. who cares if someone acts the fool. dont let that mess with your end. Remember the internet is designed to allow those with large mouths to pop off now that the threat of a shot in the mouth is gone.

now related, there is a nice vid of Paul Gilbert playing a classical piece on the electric guitar down in Australia. Nice to see folks trying something different. Personally I think Bethoveens 6th is the finest piece of music ever written. Have a good group playing it and I'm happy. I think that sometimes the music is more important than the players. 2nd place for me is Stevie Ray Vaughn covering Jimi's "Little Wing".
