I will state again: Stephen has gone ahead and made "Something" his very own. Well done, can find no fault. This comes from one who can almost narrow his favorite guitar solo down to Geo Harrison's "Something" solo.

hesh...don't let your jealousy over runneth...th e guy's an obvious talent and we're lucky to be able to listen in

A little critical, there, Hesh. Maybe you've been the main artist on 10+ albums, too (one of the best is Harp Guitar, not listed here as is normal for Pandora, but understandab l e ) , and would have every right to be critical if you are better. I've heard him live about 5 times, as well as Tommy Emmanuel 4 times+, and both come across better live. I'm not too fond of most of the Beatles covers, and none of us are perfect, but I'd give the guy a break...he's really good.

HESH: I agree with what you said. His cover on the Beatles, 'Something', however, is very nice.
|
||
had to come back to my computer to see who this was. He's new to me. Very nice!
|
||
what a nice late spring breeze; this guitar player is a nice gift to our ears...
|
||
beautiful playing, i had never heard of him until now, and i can't stop listening.
|
||
I don't like Stephen Bennett. IMO, everything he does is done better by someone else.
|
||
You can get his music at www.harpguit a r . c o m .
It's some of the best music anywhere known to man! He's got to be one of the top 5 guitar players alive! |

Ok, I sm just listening to "Something" from the Beatles Acoustic Guitar Solos album and i gotta say, well done Steve. Probably my favorite Beatles song. Heard it covered many many times by everyone from Tony Benett to Kenny G (ok, I just threw Kenny G in for effect, but one can just imagine)and I would have to say, Stephen Benett's version is more than a cover, it's something new. Really nice. The timing on the guitar solo portion, the pause between the chord rythm and the solo line is brilliant

Steven Bennett,wow He's a finger man on steroids. Love his style and talent.
|
||
I think this is cosmic, Tommy Emmanuel, Don Ross, Atoine Dufour, Steve Bennett,Andy Mckee,Chet Atkins...all in the "cosmic" category (not of this planet). Wonderful,ex c i t i n g , e n e r g e t i c , a c o u s t i c playing we all strive to emulate and steal from...

My favorite fingerstyle guitarist is Don Ross. Stephen Bennett is no Don Ross, but his music is great. Totally different- very contemplativ e , good amount of energy, perfect for driving or doing stuff around the house.
|
||
His chord melody skills are great. His skills are great period. He's a great player but his overall sound a little vanilla for me. On my acoustic guitar station I never give him a thumbs down, but I often give it a fast forward. Mine is a station built on the likes of Pierre Bensusan, Phil Keaggy, Laurence Juber, Michael Hedges, Andy Mckee and Adrian Legg. Solo acoustic guitar does not need to be translated as: Sonic Wallpaper

I like his gentle and thought provoking style. It would be good if he could be featured more within the playlists (e.g. other samples).
