Great stuff.

There's another famous YouTube clip where a guy plays the whole piece unaccompanied on classical guitar and that's just as impressive.

As a poor to middling amateur guitarist I have to say that this level of competence makes me sick with envy  ::) :D

nice technical ability, although i'd say a little too widley for my liking. I used to play with a guy who could do that sort of stuff years ago, and to be honest I do get a ' little bored of the whole 'I Can play significally faster than you' thing. I always say its not how you play, but what you say when you play it. A fine example being Gary Moore (RIP he will be missed) could say more in one note than Steve Vai could in agoud a hundred(both in the same amount of time probably too). So i wouldn't be overly envious onepot, i would assume that if you put the same amount of thought into your playing as you doyour bikesd then you are already better thn this dude :)

Plus i'm a little biased as i'm not a huge fan of the strat, more of a gibson man myself. :)

Yeah, I agree totally about the whole twinky twonky playing thing.

My two favourite guitars (neither of which I own) are the Telecaster


and the Gretsch Single cutaway semi acoustic (in 50s green  ;))


The closest I've come is a Squier Tele and a a Tanglewood fat-bodied semi acoustic  :( ::)
I once passed up on buying a Gretsch for £150!... I still groan every time I remember it.

except mines a '71 and is called frances. also in the stable is a SG and another LP rather fortuitously won in a competition. Former owner Justin Hawkins from the darkness.

18 years ago the collecters weren't buying 70's guitars on accvount of them being deemed inferior. the 70's les paul had a volute on the headstock / neck joint strengthening the LP's achiles heel,the dreaded headstock snappage. i picked mine up for a meagre 750 quid from a little second hand shop on denmark street in london (if you ever get the chance go there, its like guitar porn). ithink its a bit similar to the age old stories of older friends of mine who  always wish they had bought the manx when they thought they couldnt afford it but actually could, as now, they really can't. What can i say i got lucky :)
