Cool. I was hoping he would do Eddie's solo to it.

That's incredible and has some of the best acoustic tone I think I've ever heard.

Yes it's a very special sound. For me it's great art.

It's amped, so not really an acoustic sound, but one likes what one likes.

OK you're right - it's amped!

But what do you think about his skills & feeling?

I was doing a recording session last week and the producer wanted a guitar solo in the tune. It was a pop tune. He pulled up "Beat It" as an example of what he was looking for. A lot of pressure. I don't feel I lived up to that but everyone was happy with the end result. If it gets released, I may or may not post it, depending on how I feel about it a couple of months from now.
