I took a shot on a guitar tonight that is left in a local pub, and honestly, it just seems absolutely impossible! How the hell do they do it?? Especially solo. It is incredible.. Here is a vid I took recently of a guy who CAN do it, and wow! This guy was amazing!

I'd love to be able to play the Guitar, i'm a big fan of Noel Gallagher, when he does things like Talk Tonight, Half The World Away, Masterplan etc solo its awesome, really talented.

I play too.
took it up 1987 at 14.
played first gig Jan 1990 and last gig Sept 2009 so just short of 20 years' gigging experience.
Getting a bit old for all the hassle of carting gear about, organising practices and finding good paying gigs.
Had some great times axe slinging though.

I forgot those video's still existed. Woops.
That second video was on my first acoustic, awful guitar, never got around to fixing it, I'm sure it's still kicking about somewhere.
