My cover of "The Claw" by Jerry Reed, this time (for the first time on my YOUTUBE channel) very well accompanied by two fantastic musicians my friends:

Pippo Oteri on bass.
Sergio Pulvirenti on drums.

The instruments used are

Gibson Chet Atkins Nylon Showcase Edition
Fender Precision
Ludwig Signet

That was nice, Paolo! I haven't heard that version for a long time. That was Chet's version! Thank you!

Yes Dager, this is the Chet version.

I posted this time work before using my telecaster, but with nylon sounds better.

I am happy to have introduced my friends, new videos will soon follow.

Thanks Roger, always caring and affectionate !!!!!!!!

PAOLO.

Paolo, I agree with you that Chet's version sounds better on the nylon string guitar but there is also a different version of The Claw on the Telecaster. Have you heard of Jerry Donahue from England? He was one of three members of "The Hellecasters". He does a very nice version on his Telecaster with lots of string bending.

Dager I know that video, I love it, but to make those bending must possess those particular techniques.

However you, wonderful version, too.

The Claw is definitely a song that makes school !!!!!


PAOLO.
