Man, that is so cheesy. If I could play like that - and I can't! - I wouldn't play that terrible joke music (what a waste of skill), I'd play something like this:

I like this guy. He has a matching double guitar tattoo.

Yeah, that’s over the top. Heh, the audience keeps insisting on clapping on 1 and 3. Gotta love it when audiences do that. What? Oh, I mean you pros gotta love it, not me, ha-ha.

I think he’s a very good guitarist, though. He’s got every grip down tight and he even manages to get some nuance in there, despite the breakneck pace. But that doesn’t mean it’s not overkill. I’ve (discreetly) walked out of performances like this because it feels like I’m being smothered.

I would be just as interested if he was blowing a couple of recorders through his nostrils.

I was referring to the recordings of Les Paul (with Mary Ford) not an actual Gibson Les Paul guitar.

Honest reply now !!! What would happen if you started playing like that at a jam ? Instrumental virtuosity and musical virtuosity are not the same thing.
