Benson has unbelievable knowledge of how harmony works with complex chords and effortlessly floats across the fingerboard. He is one of my top 4 favorite jazz guitar players for sure.

Wonderful jazz guitarist.I applaud the way he creates the magic with spontaneous runs on the fretboard and sensitive touch and swipe with bare fingers.To play with a lifeless pick is primitive and unnatural.A few minutes of his playing teaches us a lot.Thanks for posting it on KZitem.

It's quite fascinating. George Benson, arguably, could do just about more with a pick in his hand than anyone... but that wasn't enough for him. So he spent the time and effort to learn to play with his thumb like Wes. Trust me - it's very tough indeed to master that, so full marks to Benson. The guy is utterly amazing. It's kind of poetic, too, completes a circle somehow, since fifty years or so ago, Wes was one of Benson's mentors.

What a trooper..and that Danny Boy was masterful and grand. As for the amp, it seems cool...how much? And more importantly, if the whole idea is to free up the previously overpowered design, well where's some new approaches? If it's just George doing his patented sound, well...how do we know what it can really do differently from the regular twin?

Benson not only mastered the instrument with one of the hottest, fleetest picking hands in jazz guitar using a traditional plectrum; that wasn't enough - he mastered the extremely difficult art of playing with only your thumb like Wes did. The guy is simply amazing - what a musical treasure!
