[cannaman]

Man the way Yamashita holds his guitar and his face when he's playing is both terrifying and sublime

[KevinToine]

Yamashita actually invented techniques in order to play that. He lifted the level of classical guitar playing but is so underrated and not known unfortunately.

[tdanjonsson]

I’m sure if you can zoom in to Yamashito’s finger you would see he had an even smaller fist growing from his digit with four extra small fingers. This of course repeats on every finger!

[gustavopinha]

I cried on Raphael Rabello's part. I'm from Brazil and I didn't know this extraordinary musician, and Kazuhito Yamashita... no comment. Thank you for introducing me to these great musicians.

Not only is that one finger tremolo super impressive because of its speed - it is also insane because of how smoothly he does it when switching fingers. It really is something completely out of this world - I've never seen anything like that before.
Thank you Lucas for sharing this!

I met Derek Trucks when he was 14 years old. I saw him at a bar in Toronto with my friend Jeff Healey. Jeff got up and jammed with him that night at it was the first time that they met. Derek was already quite accomplished and you knew he would continue to grow. His slide playing is now so unique and has such an incredible vocal quality to it that he stands alone.

[GitarrenTobi]

With Yamashita you can see how his body grew around the guitar.

[SandlapperSam]

Obviously you haven't heard me play Seven Nation Army or Smoke on the Water since I'm not on this list.

[pangajackterhor]

Yamashita wtf!!!! All throughout that strength and elasticity of his fingers. The pain that he must have gone through to achieve that. 🤯

[markmarsh]

I wouldn't say that Mayer "gives up." ... He just not a slide player and he was respectfully showing his admiration for the Mastery of Trucks.

[sisgaia]

Yamashita is amazing. Keeping that rapid picking on the first string while playing a slower tempo with the rest of his fingers, it's really impressive.

[edricksubervi]

So glad you included Kazuhito Yamashita. His Pictures at an Exhibition and Firebird Suite are beautiful arrangements. Such an expressive player

[nophonecamera]

Yeah! Yamashita has a separate brain for each of his fingers.

[OG-SherlockHolmes]

You were right, that Yamashita was impossible. His tremolo skills are beyond beyond

[ScottishJazzman]

You completely lost me at “tremolo with one finger...” 😳🥴

[brian]

Guthrie Govan is a definite must on this list

[atypeofcool]

Can you imagine, you bring a girl back to your place and she's like oh you have a guitar, do you play? Then you just bust out 9:09

[johndanter]

Just after the end of the Derek Trucks clip, after BB says 'Ladies & Gentleman....' he says '... I don't think in my whole life I ever heard anything as good as that.' And, for what it's worth, me neither, I get emotional everytime. Magical, nobody like him.

Another time a brazillian, proud of my country❤🇧🇷

[Marinus]

It's no problem for me to play like Yamashita, I play him completely away .. and suddenly .. I wake up, hmm so I was dreaming, and only in my dreams can I play like this. Really incredible the technique that Kazuhito Yamashita shows. You are right dear Lucas, he is indeed from another planet.
