The good Reverend tears it up with a tune that bears more than a superficial resemblance to Scott Joplin’s Maple Leaf Rag. He makes it look so easy…

This is from a newly released compilation of Reverend Gary Davis performances. You can learn more about it here: http://guitarvideos.com/dvd/13111dvd.htm

This is some good 1960s footage of the good Reverend playing one of the tunes he first recorded much earlier in his career. I’m continually in awe at how well Davis moves around on the neck of the guitar. This is a man who knew his chord voicings. The one-handed guitar is also rather impressive.
