Brett Garsed Masterclass

I try to shy away from posting too many videos, but if it's something really cool I can't help it. This is Brett Garsed playing though a little 15watt amp at a recent Masterclass. What a great player. This is also my first attempt at embedding a YouTube video is high quality using a little code hack. Not all YouTube vids are available in HQ, but if they are I'm going to start embedding them this way. I may go back and change some of the older videos I've posted to stream in HQ. If anyone has any trouble with it let me know.
