Check out these quotes from famous guitarists regarding Jimmy Bryant
Legendary jazz guitarist Barney Kessel once said, "of all the guitar players I have known, Jimmy Bryant is the fastest and the cleanest, and has more technique than any other"
Even when speaking of his contemporaries, Chet Atkins said of Jimmy Bryant "I could never get in his league"
There's not a lot I can add to such quotes other than, I find it hard to believe he is even human, the speed & accuracy of this man is simply incredible.
If you're reading this & you like or play guitar, please goto his son's Myspace & have a listen...

I doubt there are many that would disagree that his playing is incredible.
There are country lovers that may remember Tennessee Ernie Ford, did you know that a lot of the guitar work in Tennessee's recordings was in fact Jimmy Bryant?

Youre a guitaraholic! However, you're information is an asset for me, as I work with eight other TESOL teachers, so a lot of the discussion in the teacher's room revolves around guitar players. Lately I'm dazzling them with my knowledge. Thanks mate, keep the good oil coming.

That explains why I didn't get that other thread.
It's COUNTRY.
Whew, and I thought I'd gone stupid for a moment...
