Among the many stars of guitar universe, Reverend Gary Davis is one of the brightest. His pianistic approach to the instrument enabled him to improvise on blues and ragtime structures as few others could do. Even if his name is widely known among country blues/ragtime fans, his talent is, still today, too often ignored by the guitar fans family. As always with afro-american musicians, the rhythmic way to approach phrases and runs is terrific, resulting in a kind of 'dancing' over the basic 'two' feel.
