Another thing about folks who play proficiently and professionally, you won't generally hear them doing anything but embracing different styles, players, and people. The kind of "better than" talk so common in forums, while not always improper, is more the way of those who do not have confidence in their playing or, worse, who play for some other reason than to make music.

The young man in the video has some cool chops, and sounds like he "gets" the music. It must be an absolute blast to play that well. Let's do our part and try to be more "musical" and proficient at embracing the music around us, and the people making it in good spirit. And let's leave the put-downs and competition behind us. There's room for everyone.
