Legendary Session Guitarist humbles us (Rolling Stones cover)

I will be the first to admit that I spent way too many hours playing blues licks (as fast as possible, of course) as a teen. I tired myself out, understandably. And I turned away from blues rock for a VERY long time. Well, in this video, I'd like to revisit one of my all-time favorite YouTube clips: Ashley Cleveland performing The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" aired on TNN in 1997 as part of a live tribute concert. Let's discuss her guitar player's masterful treatment on this song. Enjoy!
