Another one of my favorite guitar players. The ability of one person to play guitar with such skill that the resulting sounds are as full as those produced by a good piano player is pretty much a lost art, at least compared to a hundred years ago. John Hurt, who may have been a teenager before he saw his first automobile, came from a time when more people knew how to do it. He demonstrates his ability nicely in this clip. Enjoy.
