    10 years ago when I started learning gutiar, I thought I'd never be able to play this song. 10 years later, I realized that I was correct.

    I came here to pay homage to Cliffs of Dover, in honor of a lady's father. The lady told a story on Reddit, of how her rather stoic dad jammed out to this song and told her that this was the best music guitar performance ever. According to her, the dad died not long after, and this song stuck to her mind for years, until she was able to find it on TH-cam. Respect to her dad, and this wonderful guitarist. It is indeed the best guitar performance I've listened to in a while.

This performance was basically a perfect storm of playing. He had a good day for a lot of reasons. Most performers can recognize those inexplicably great days to perform, and this must've been one of them.

    For the people that are searching the reddit lady's story about her dad:
    "I remember being about 8, and in the car with my dad. I was in the front seat and we were driving somewhere, and this song came on the radio. He cranked it and said something about it being the best guitar playing ever. He really jammed out, which was really uncharacteristic because he was usually so stoic. It was the only time I heard the song, and he died before I could ever ask him what song it was. When I asked around, no one knew wtf I was talking about or what song I was thinking of.
    So I had this melody in my head for years, but how do you look up a song that has no lyrics? So for years and years, this song stayed on the back burner in my brain. I was afraid to forget it. Somehow this story pops up when I'm like 26 or so, chatting with my husband and we searched TH-cam for "best guitar songs". After about 15 minutes, we find it. Cliffs of Dover was the song that I'd burned into my brain on repeat for 16 years. Now I jam out to it with my kids."

      I'm not sure I understand this comment. Johnson was pretty unknown until this performance. This was high school days for me, and this one aspiring shredder friend of mine and I had both seen that airing and were most pleased indeed.
      But Austin City Limits was no stranger to kickass guitar work. And I don't just mean SRV. Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell, Roy Clark were some of the all time greats that performed there.
      Not to mention in 1984 a young fellow named Eric Johnson: th-cam.com/video/vyntQ-WZUI8/w-d-xo.html
