The Reverend Gary Davis on Rainbow Quest

Here’s a great clip of the Reverend Gary Davis playing on Pete Seeger’s Rainbow Quest in 1966. The good reverend is playing a 12-string Gibson in this clip, and he gets a very different sound than he gets from his famous SJ-200. One can see his hands quite clearly in portions of this clip. Notice how much of the guitar’s range he uses, and how well he uses different chord voicings. Very cool.
