His technique is pretty incredible, but his style isn’t my favorite. In my opinion, he’d be the ultimate jazz guitarist with a small walking bass, and a bit more groove (a la Joe Pass, but on steroids). I will say I prefer his sound on a jazz box over that of an acoustic.
this is a performance with fantastic soul and Birelì doesn’t need to show us how well he knows guitar but let his fingers caress those strings and may he always progress like he has for a very long time for all of us to savour his talent.
He started playing when he was 3 weeks ancient,
so I guesse we’l reach his standard or thereabouts sometime in our 80’s if we can still hold our guitars then.
Imho, Bireli is one of the most fluid and natural improvisors ever. The thing that I like about his playing is that it consistently surprises me. It is like he taps into an endless fountain of musical thoughts. The way he plays is often so intricate it leaves me scratching my head, but is always still so gorgeous and tasteful. It’s like he has complete freedom of expression. That’s right musicianship.

OK…what are the changes from 2:09 to 2:11?????

yeah!!!scotty and bireli!!!!!!!!!!!!!but it will be not reasonable!!!so crasy!
Does anyone else hear that melody from the godfather at about 0:27? he re-harmonizes it in a way that tries to disguise it… or maybe it’s coincidence.
Bireli plays it all!!
Does he ever run out of gas?
I want to see he and Scotty Anderson get together. That would be for the ages!
maby but i reckon workin’ hard we still have a chance
