George Benson is just incredible - watch this clip George Benson is one of my favorite guitar players. He is one of my biggest inspiration in my own playing.
This is a cut where he shows his vocal ability as well as his smooth playin'... http://www.youtube.com/wa...ed&search= the guitar solo is typical fingerworks/scat by Benson. | |

George makes it look effortless like the way Fred Astaire used to dance. He is always fluid and smooth. "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |

I think he's highly rated as a great JAZZ guitarist but highly underrated as a great guitarist, PERIOD. Rolling Stone should have him on their list...not that THEY know great guitar playing when they hear it. | |

 Has anyone tried unplugging the United States and plugging it back in? | |

George is great, another underrated artist.
I love; Mood is Mood, Love times Love, Give me the Night, New day and the Love Ballad. He is a great musician who like many others is very under appreciated. | |
