Hopefully, he will eventually learn how to play music. This kind of
technical gimmickry quickly grows boring.

You're not supposed to watch it for hours and hours!

If you add up all the others just like him from the past, the minutes you've
listened add up quickly to hours.

Then, there's this guy:

Check his schedule. Go see him. Amazing.

And, of course......

He, Jeff Beck, is probably a great guitar player, but he does nothing for
me.

Pass the barf bag! My guitarist thinks Robben Ford is a god. He dresses like
him, and owns a Baker guitar, which can't cut it on stage. All this to
emulate a guy who was goofy enough to think he could cover a song like
"Peace Love & Understanding", and ended up castrating it instead. Same with
his version of Homework, which can't hold a candle to the J. Geils version.

I'll take George Van Eps, Les Paul, Chet, Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis,
John Pizzano, for their trechnical work any day.

Oh what the heck. throw in some young Ike Turner and Pat Travers, and
lita Ford for the fun of it...

I'm starting to get it now. You don't like any guitarist who's
innovative. I love to see a good guitarist take someone else's song and
make it their own, as opposed to playing at the Ramada Inn covering pop
songs.

You have to first have the technical skills down if you are ever going
to be an excellent guitar player. Hell, my first teacher didn't care
much about your picking hand. My second teacher cared a LOT about it,
and my playing skills went up considerably.

There are skills, and there's gimmickry. Not the same thing.
