    Rare ability to take a song I've heard a thousand times live, and make it sound better than any of them. . even on my crappy computer speakers. Talent missed.

    Wow this is just stunning to me. Just an unbelievably intelligent guitar player. I fear we will never see the likes of someone like him ever again.

    As a fellow guitar player, I cant imagine learning the guitar in the fasion he plays. To me it would be easier playing it in the traditional way (even if I were blind) rather than playing it on my lap with my left hand on top of the kneck. Its amzing he can do that blind.
