That bloke is the best all round guitarist I`ve ever heard. There is nothing he can`t play. Started out as a Nashville country picker and blended it into everything. Amazing. This is a warm up/sound check, buggering about. The thing is he has a sight problem from birth and can`t actually focus on anything for more than a few seconds at a time. The bloke is actually registered blind He attributes a lot of his skill to the fact that he is virtually blind. He couldn`t play with his pals, no football, tv, computer games. The guitar was all he had and by **** can he play.
Aye, he`s a big lad. It`s an achievement for a guitarist to attain one signature guitar. This bloke has two (Ernie Ball and Paul Reed Smith). That is going some. This is an early clip of him playing a Fender Tele with Sammy Hagar. I had no idea one of those things could sound like that.
He certainly is a bit special. Seen a few of his vids. I had no idea you were into the guitar thing. Here`s a treat for you. DADGAD tuning, pissing about with the tuning pegs and bending two strings at once with his little finger. Nobody has the right to be that ****ing good. The bastard. Enjoy.
Love them mate, got 11 of them, including a mandolin and a 4 string cigar box guitar. I should add that I can't play any of them like, well I can strum along but currently having lessons to learn my scales.
