Paste into the space (eg): [youtube]pasteURLhereusingthisasanexample[/youtube]
Here's one I did earlier:

PS: Abel, in my opinion, is the best player who posts recordings on this and other similar sites - bar absolutely none.
His style is so fluent and inventive.
Absolutely humbling.
JN (off to practice).

Of course, you can imagine what Jet would have said about Abel...

Brillant video both, fantastic playing
Abels playing on the mid section sounded very much like happy together, is that intentional?

It was indeed.
When I heard what he was playing I added to the BT so as to turn it into the direction of the tune while he was playing it. You can just hear it in the background.

Dearest Ecca
I posted a response to this a couple of hours ago and it seems to have gone AWOL
Great playing. I'd forgotten how good the vid and the performance was. Must be 5 years ago?
Nice to see it re-rendered.
Cheers
Ian

As good a case as I've ever heard for putting your own interpretation on a tune rather than painstakingly trying to recreate a rubber-stamp of the original. Absolutely excellent!

Awesome Ecc and Abel, pity you hadn't got the Gib L5 then.

I've only just got around to seeing and listening to this one.
You know, I can count on one hand how many folks are good enough to put these sorts of things up here.
I've long enjoyed the postings by the likes of Phil and Abel. Ian Plant and Jimbo are much underrated in my opinion.
Then comes Ecca. Take five to look back on some of his videos. Ye gods people, what a talent. Not only
for his undisputed musical ability on so many levels. But also his ability and indeed willingness to take,
what amounts to a back seat so that someone else might shine.
Take a look at the famous, ( or is that infamous ), "Strangling Video". Not only did I get a chance to play
that beautiful Beatles tune "Here, There and Everywhere". I also got to strangle the little git. And, kick him,
( Probably a little harder than most realised ). He proudly showed me the bruise some time after.
The video on Cannock Chase with my much missed Springers Barney and Jack.
Bless him, we walked so many miles that day to get the shots that even the dogs asked to go home.
And the credit? Well, I got to play "What a wonderful world" and my dogs had their fifteen minutes of fame.
Ecca was mentioned in two lines at the end.
Look at the get well videos for Brian. Many were Ecca's creation. We just did as we were told. The sound, the guitar playing
shots, all of the rest was Ecca putting the thing together in the way that only a very few on this, ( or any other site ), can do.
It's all too easy to take folks for granted. especially when all that they ask is that you do something you enjoy. And, be made to look good.
I thought I'd take this opportunity to tell him that I do not take him for granted. And just remind one or two that the odd word of praise
goes well from time to time.
Cheers, Alan.
