The epic curmudgeon – and wonderful guitar player and teacher – Jim Bruno says that Ken Karsh can play any tune in any key at a second’s notice and is a phenomenon.

Here’s a video Karsh features on his YouTube channel, recorded in his office at Slippery Rock University with a backing track.

Notes from Ken about this performance:

Stevie Winwood is a musical icon! There are so many of his songs that I grew up loving. Here is my rendition of “I’m A Man” recorded live at Slippery Rock University! The venue is my office/string room! Shoutout to Lumbeat’s FunkDrummer! I also love my Yamaha APXT2, aka “Gilligan” (Little Buddy).
