A master guitar shredder

Wait, wait... this is Willie Nelson! How can I say he's a guitar god? Surely only people who shred on electric guitars get to be guitar gods!

Well, fuck that shit. Watch this video again if you doubt Willie's guitar skills. Trigger (his guitar) ain't exactly a young pony, and is a nylon-strung classical guitar at that, but he's getting sounds out of that old steed that ain't your run-of-the-mill gitar pickin' by any means.

  1. He defines the word "classic."

    Thanks.

  2. Pickin' (as opposed to strummin') is what separates the players from the wannabes. Willie is, indeed, a classic. And an original.
