Just realizing I have several of his l.p.'s :) and while I had heard them ,and even knew part of his history,having the visual changed my mental retention ,or places a new vibe to his playing ,love his overall vibe, no matter the song or style of music are certain musicians that just "feel" good :) thanks will continue to pass him on to younger listeners:) Peace.

"Think nothing of it friends, it's just George Van Eps playing his 7-string lap piano!" Someone asked him once, "How do you approach the guitar to play this way?" He responded, "I don't approach the instrument as a guitar, I approach it as a piano. The guitar is my lap piano."

I had the pleasure and honor to study with this great man of the guitar in the spring of 1984. Memories I shall always treasure.
Transporting the listener through time and space 🙏🏼
There will never be another George van Eps; the maestro was simply beyond amazing.
Glad to see that so many people have seen George playing..........Bill Dee here!
Heard Tango El Bongo when I was a kid. What a window into the guitar! Thanks George!
Mr George speaks a beautiful language whenever he plays the guitar.What might not be speakable in regular old words.
I hunted down his albums on vinyl for years. They were hard to find.

Wow. What mastery. The cleanest left hand work ever.
Just beautiful. George the Master.
Wow! Played the books he authored, never really heard the man. Thanks so much for this.
Very exciting to see new videos of George :)

Anybody know where this guitar is today, like who owns it? Is it in a museum?
Not that it matters-is that a Gretch? I still have one of his books-Bought it in the 1970's got a lot out of it for $5.00.
Yes. It's his signature model.
BTW, This is how you play guitar when your hobby is replica scale version trains!
