I guess it's Michael Buble. Apparently he's a jazz type that has similarities to Sinatra.

Agreed that it's not exactly a Bach piece. About 2 minutes with a slide and an acoustic guitar and you could probably figure it out note by note by ear.

It's actually a sample from Jimi Hendrix' version of Hey Joe.

cant any question get a regular answer..

Re: Who is playing that guitar on ESPN poker theme?
 

My thoughts are like Muck's. 14 replys that bring us no closer to an answer. Michael Buble is the (Sinatra-like)singer. We are looking for a Blues guitar player, that much I can figure out. If you want to be humorous, at least be FUNNY. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Not sure if you were referring to me...I was just correcting the spelling. I'm still not certain of who it is or if anyone around here actually knows. You don't exactly need to be BB king to write/play that lick...although some would say that BB King is incredibly overrated. I'm stopping my thought process before it runs into a half hour ramble.

Letyoudown,
You are correct in that they are using a Michael Buble' song this year. I just thought someone here might know who plays the "blues music" theme ESPN uses.They also use some harmonica riffs through out. [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
