Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | Awghhhhh,That's EASY to play!!.......I was playing that the other evening......then my wife had to go ruin it by waking me up!! :eek: :D (I'm still having trouble "sounding out" all the notes to "Twinkle,Twinkle,Little Star".....It's a toughey)
This guy is from another planet....I didn't know 4 strings could make that many beautiful sounds!
I've got that song/video downloaded and every once in a while I'll play it then pick my jaw off the floor and go splash cold water in my face....
UNBELIEVABLE TALENT! |

I got Jake's latest CD and you would swear it was an instrumental guitar album. Great stuff. |
