| I have made it all the way through this twice now. Even withstood the metronome playing in the background to it's own beat. I lost an Arm the second time and I notice I stop and stare whilst drooling from time to time now but somehow this Vid needs to be shared and I though of this group first!
I think this is Cliff in the future after a binge weekend at Bill's sends him into a tone deaf musical insanity. I will of course write songs about it and make a fortune..............

Location: Tennessee | This has all the makings of a huge viral hit. William Hung has nothing on ol' Jack. He'll be on Leno, Letterman, Conan, Craig and Jimmy before you know it. A record will be made and sold. The guy will retire wealthy. And his wife will tell him she always knew he had it in him. |

| I only watched it for about 10 or 15 seconds.
Does he have a prosthetic right arm or something; is that the point of the video or what? |

| Sorry to waste your time Waskel. This was for the people who have not read every single post for the last 4 years.
:eek:
I think there should be a prize for anyone who actually makes it though this. The beat machine in the second song is mind numbing after a while. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Warning: Do not view this right after a meal...I now have to clean breakfast off the computer...but, hey: his guitar playing is amazing...I learned that it is possible to play many songs using only one chord...Paulie, now you can actually forget those other two... :p :rolleyes: |

| If you live in my area of NYS you can find Ole Jack on public access TV Tuesday nights. (they cut him back to a 1/2 hour program) (Whizzy the Clown does Animal Balloons in this time slot now) You can't make this shit up.......Anyway I feel badly about laughing at this guy but he is so far past "non musical" and does not know it.... that I just can't help it. He does not go for the chord changes in this video but if you have ever subjected yourself to "Blue Moon" or some of his other tasty picks from the 30's & 40's and a few from the 50's... you'll learn a new technique...he changes chords by sliding his right strumming hand up the neck to about the 12th fret then back down to the sound hole to return to the original chord. Al whilst continuing the Monotonedeaf drawl that is impossible to copy! Seriously Try and sing like this. You just can't! Those Chord Changes made me shoot tears right straight out of my closed eyes I was laughing so hard one night watching this.
Hope you've enjoyed the distraction and got a chuckle out of it. That's all I intended with this one.

Here, see if your arm falls off like mine did.
