Buddy Merrill

Here's another fantastic guitarist who many older members have probably heard of, but probably not so for the younger members.

Buddy Merrill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Merrill

Probably best known for his work on The Lawrence Welk show he was one of the most underrated players out there in the 50s and 60s.

Here are a few examples of his work.

The second video, with his bandmate, Neil LeVang is one of the best Telecaster/Stratocaster pairings I've found so far.

You will enjoy these.


Get ready for this one.


More to come.

This was probably his best-known, commercially successful song.


My personal favorite: Samba de Orfeu. One of the first melodies I learned on guitar.


An added treat: Samba de Orfeu by Toots Thielemans.


Enjoy.
