To watch GB play live will be a dream come true for me. I am happy he's still alive. Hopefully, I'd get to take a picture with him. (Wishes do come true.)
My absolute top inspiration to pick up a guitar in the first place..my idol the great George Benson, who I saw playing in concert in the 80s at western springs , Auckland, New Zealand and I was totally blown away by his stage mastery and sheer talent, his beautiful voice and guitar playing...top shelf absolutely
Wow, what an amazing experience listening to this legend, I heard him singing “2020 vision” and “nothings gonna change my love for you” in 1985, not knowing anything about his Jazz Guitar roots until years later. Great maestro! Looking forward to seeing him play live.
He's superb on record and superb live. Saw him at Hampton Court a few months ago. The audience was dancing in the stands - it was wonderful. You're in for a treat.
Breezin' Lounge - If you two gentlemen are by chance reading this comment, I'd be very curious to know what was it about George Benson's playing that hooked Miles Davis? I'm asking because Davis at one time was very anti-guitar; he didn't want any guitars in his bands. We already know that G.B. is special, but what was it that Davis found so appealing in your playing that he quit his long-standing rule on "no guitars"? I'm betting Jimi Hendrix had something to do with it, but please let your fans know the inside scoop!
This bald dude asks GB very specific questions about his hand techniques and GB just drops sick licks and never actually answers the questions ha. I ❤Benson
George is so lucid and precise and gracious in how he speaks.
He's a gentleman - kind and respectful of everyone.
I can listen to George Benson tell stories for hours love this.
