Funkadelic - Maggot Brain , this has to be one of the best most beautiful guitar pieces ever. George Clinton produced this and Eddie Hazel plays guitar on this piece. From what I recall the story is that both George and Eddie were on some very good acid and the beginning of the song George asked eddie to play like he had heard his mother just died and the second part he just found out his mother was alive. Here is a youtube version, just the album cover with the song, needs no video anyway. I still own the original vinyl version of this and a CD version. The song runs 9:51 and is just a masterpiece.

From Wikipaedia ...
Kenny Vance (born December 9, 1943 in New York City as Kenny Rosenberg) is an American singer and music producer who was an original member of Jay and the Americans.

Vance has worked on a number of movies and TV productions. He was music supervisor on the films Animal House and Eddie and the Cruisers, where he brought in John Cafferty to perform on the soundtrack. For the movie Looking for an Echo, he composed the original score and was the singing voice of Armand Assante. He also was the music supervisor for the movie American Hot Wax with Jay Leno. Kenny acted and sang as himself in the movie.

In 1977, Vance was a guest singer on Saturday Night Live and became their musical director in 1980, where he was responsible for booking the musical guests. He booked Aretha Franklin and Prince, as well as James Brown, who on his only appearance on the show, performed for far longer than his allotted time, forcing the producers to go to a commercial while he was still singing.

Since 1992, he has performed with his group Kenny Vance and The Planotones.

And this young kid ... Sungha Yung ... a Korean boy who plays Fingerstyle guitar.

Because notes are struck by individual digits rather than the hand working as a single unit, fingerstyle playing allows the guitarist to perform several musical elements simultaneously. One definition of the technique has been put forward by the Toronto (Canada) Fingerstyle Guitar Association:

Physically, “Fingerstyle” refers to using each of the right hand fingers independently in order to play the multiple parts of a musical arrangement that would normally be played by several band members. Bass, harmonic accompaniment, melody, and percussion can all be played simultaneously when playing Fingerstyle.

Sungha Yung is so well thought of in Fingerstyle circles he has played with legends of the style such as Eric Clapton.

Have a quick listen ... and that REALLY IS just him ... no others instruments or dubbing done.

I love the song summertime and I have heard many versions but this is one of my favourites Angelique Kidjo

One of the reasons I love jazz is there are no limits Edgar Winter's Frankenstein done by Marcus Miller, though I have a soft spot for the original.
