    Mention Chet Atkins and a lot of people will say..yeah, I've heard of him. Lenny Breau? No, can't say I've ever heard of him. Who is he? And that's a damm shame!!!

    My old friend whos past now Salvatore Ditrioa once told me to listen and watch this guy if I wanted to play right and well.

    Lenny, you left this world too damn early. You had so much more to give to people who really listen to music (a lost art?) – R.I.P man…

    That tree trunk had never been happier, even though it was very dead it was still at that moment never more alive in 'Lenny's' awesome hands.

    Macca should have given the rights of this song to Lenny, after all, he transformed it into a musical journey way way way beyond the original concept. Can't fully express how much I love it.

    The end of the headstock on this guitar was purposefully designed so it could grasped with 2 hands and swung about in a circular fashion in case you were being attacked by Ninja's at every angle. Rumor has it that Jackie Chan had a hand in its development.

    A beautiful song beautifully played

    What is the guitar he is playing? Looks similar to an early Godin, or not with that scroll on the headstock. Kirk Sand one off? I note the comment below that is was a Burns/Baldwin. Is it?

    Cool..hard to find stuff of him live with visual's. Thank's man…

    Oh wow his soft touch with the harmonics so gentle and articulate!! His picking hand is fluid and rolling and graceful!!! Great stuff!! I feel like i wasted my time studying all the rock " god" guitarists of the 70s and eighties and should have been learning from the les pauls chet atkins roy clark jerry reads and lenny breus of this world!!!

    Flawless harmonics! You get to a point where you've mastered your instrument that you no longer play the instrument, the instrument plays YOU.

    Best guitar player in his era

    Lenny and Ted are both beyond genius.

    This is one of the nicest versions of this song that I have heard. Lenny Breau should be a household name.

    Chet and Lenny’s album, “Standard Brands” opened my ears in a big way.

  27. Jerry Langlois Avatar

    Mistake at 1:29 — from the greatest !

  28. Robby Breau Avatar

    I am insanely curious to know if I am somehow related to this man cause Breau spelt how we spell it doesn’t seem like it’s too common

    I wonder if Mcartney has seen this??

  30. Mike Albanese Avatar

    Title should of been "Many years ago".

  31. Kenny Kalamick Avatar

    Bummer there is so much static in this recording, but worth it for lenny's playing

  32. Evan Davidson Avatar

    a true genius of the guitar…no one like him…the harmonics are just…mozart might be jealous…
