I've always preferred talent and skill over anything else when choosing whatever music to listen to.
Yes, the actual music is secondary to me.
THIS video is (to me) the penultimate of raw skill and sheer talent...and honestly the songs not bad either.
Full screen it and watch it all the way thru.
It's unbelievable to me that he never skips a single beat and there is not 1 single missed note...and the camera angles are perfect which is rare in it's self.
I can actually play this, but, I'm going to miss 3-4 notes, or I'm going to flub something....it's just too much continual *flooring it* for me, I'm an old man, I get tired, even though I've played for the last 45-50 years or so.
Joe Satriani or Eddie VanHalen probably can't pull this off....seriously, it's just perfection and Eric Johnson probably himself cannot do it like this every time.
It was one of those days when everything was in it's correct order....know what I mean ?
BTW, that '59 Strat is pretty nice too....and very well worn.
