Forgive me if this has already been posted but I stumbled across this and was just blown away. Unfortunately the quality is pretty rough.

Wow ! This guy's crazy ! With that hand technic I should do some weird chords !! This guy is a discovery for me ! Thank you !

P.S. By the way, did someone know a canadian blues band name bluescats or something like that ? My dad was listening to that when I was young but we both don't remember the name ! Thank you !

Ti-Ron, are you from Canada or did you just move here? I don't understand how anyone (let alone a guitarist) living in Canada can't have heard of Jeff Healey.

Oh yeah, and that's a geniune question and not a sly swipe at you or anything.

That was kewl. :rockon:

Thanks

[Ti-Ron]

Mouahahaha ! Sorry for that but I'm Québécois ! ;) It's really the first time I herd about him ! I don't know alot about Canadian blues bands. We have a couple of really good bluesman in Québec like Bob Walsh, Pat the White and Steve Hill ! I'm pretty sure that not everybody from the reast of Canada know it ! :P But I'm here to learn so it's a good point that know I know Jeff Healey !! ;)

It didn't occur to me until now that you might be younger as well. He was popular before you even got into music.

btw..
the reason Jeff plays that way is because he is blind..

He started out playing laptop slide, so when he switched to "normal" guitar he just kept holding it the way he was used to.

He's an interesting person. He owns a blues club in Toronto and recently had cancer again.

I like the tone that Steve Hill guy gets from playing fingerstyle.
