It's really not fair... 15 years old...

In guitar playing terms I am a 3 year old in comparison to this girl

I thought this guy was just a bit of a "nu metal" boring gimmick type guy, but turns out he is rather good... he also has something like about 300 albums out too... mainly instrumental as far as i can tell

Just  watched Bruce Springsteen on Broadway  on Netflix,s in my opinion, just terrific.
Don't know how he's received in the USA because of his views, but I think he's a hero!!!
Seen him live a few years ago a great night!!

Indeed, credited to "Dennis Wilson & Rumbo" on the 45. Not a bad handle for the Captain! May he rest in peace.

Pierre Bensusan, guitarist, French singer, has been playing DADGAD tuning exclusively since the 70s.
He is the guitarist who has always impressed me the most since that time
He is a "craftsman" of music who tours in all the United States, England, Ireland, Germany, Japan, Italy, Australia etc... and as the biblical expression says "no one is prophet in his country"... he is probably better known abroad than in France
This song is a setting to music of one of Victor Hugo's most beautiful and famous poems "Tomorrow at dawn"
to give you an idea of its guitaristic quality, one of these compositions "Altiplanos" has been taken up by one of the greatest (and most beautiful classical guitarist today Ana Vidovic

in scroll the words of Victor Hugo poeme and translation

Demain, dès l'aube, à l'heure où blanchit la campagne,
Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m'attends.
J'irai par la forêt, j'irai par la montagne.
Je ne puis demeurer loin de toi plus longtemps.

Je marcherai les yeux fixés sur mes pensées,
Sans rien voir au dehors, sans entendre aucun bruit,
Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé, les mains croisées,
Triste, et le jour pour moi sera comme la nuit.

Je ne regarderai ni l'or du soir qui tombe,
Ni les voiles au loin descendant vers Harfleur,
Et quand j'arriverai, je mettrai sur ta tombe
Un bouquet de houx vert et de bruyère en fleur.

3 septembre 1847

translation

Tomorrow, at dawn, at a time when the countryside is whitening,
I will leave. You see, I know you're waiting for me.
I'll go through the forest, I'll go through the mountains.
I can no longer stay away from you.

I will walk with my eyes fixed on my thoughts,
Without seeing anything outside, without hearing any noise,
Alone, unknown, back bent, hands crossed,
Sad, and the day for me will be like the night.

I will not look at the falling evening gold,
Nor the sails in the distance going down to Harfleur,
And when I get there, I'll put on your grave
A bouquet of green holly and flowering heather.
