This song gave me chills the first time I heard it, and it still does. It seems that Arlen has incorporated just about every modern electric guitar style in this song...I guess one could say that if you can play this you can play just about everything! I love you Arlen!
Absolutely the best! Truly a Master of the Telecaster and OOh so Soulful He makes Jimmy Page look like an amateur, Pity he's not so well known outside guitarist circles he deserves a lot more recognition..
I have his double stops video..I use so much of what I learned on that video in my playing..thank yoou soo muuch Arlen for your teaching...You are as fantastic as a teacher as you are a picker.
I bouht Arlen's 1st album when it first came out. I got tired trying to find his music and thought he just did instruction tapes! boy was I wrong, and..stupid. Thre greatest technical guitarist living I think..
Although this simply pales in comparison to a much earlier recorded take of him doing the oldie classic Unchained Melody (which sadly is only on vinyl and not on the web anywhere, on Flying Fish records, Lonely Street is the LP & I really need to post a You Tube of it) it still shows Arlen's wonderful feel. ANYONE who doubts Arlen's skill is in a sad delusion IMO.
he is after all a performer and flamboyance comes with the territory but as a friend of 40 or more years can tell you he feels every note right to the toes
Still.
Just the best. My heart flows with every note. I can't thank you enough Arlen.
Thank you! And many blessings 2 U!
Thanks again. Eddie.
you are the best of the best God bless you

WOW!!!! Such a refreshing burst of taste and style. Rare these days. Love it!!
...life is worth living musically because musicians like Roth exist - his band is the bee's knees

Thank you Arlen.
Still so deeply grateful for your talents and instruction.

!Fricken incredible! This guy is the best. A "new" high for guitar playing. Clapton...eat that!
A brilliant teacher as well as a brilliant guitarist-he clearly has the virtuoso technique but always applies it with taste! ❤️
soulful, beautiful playing!
WOW! He is simply amazing
he has a great technique i always watch his teaching videos on gibson..dan batavia ny
Great. Go Arlen. We did a feww gigs in Woodstock together in the 70's. He was great then and better now.
So melodic

beautifull
gosh, that's so beautiful
sounds like there's a voice
that was sweet
gat dammit...nailed that one !!
There's an even better version of his
"Unchained Melody" on his new "Toolin' Around Woodstock" cd with Levon Helm!
God, I wish my hands were that big... I can only do some of that shit with a Strat or Carvin, and than it doesn't sound the same... YAY, ARLEN !!!
