Subject: RE: Willie Nelson fans here ?
Nothing wrong with Willie's guitar playing. He doesn't bury a song in razzle-dazzle guitar riffs like a lot of C & W performers, he plays tastefully, and his accompaniment work supports the song as a good accompaniment should.
Too many guitar playing singers (including singers of traditional songs) get hung up on flashy guitar work to the point where the song itself sort of slides into the background.
Willie knows his way around a guitar, he accompanies tastefully, and he what he's doing.
