Superb. The guitar is such a powerful instrument.

While we're on the subject of guitarists.
Sabicas was quoted as saying that Paco de Lucia had become the finest flamenco payer ever, but Paco de Lucia begged to differ, saying Sabicas was the best :

If you watch from 0.14 to 0.25 with the sound off it looks like Percy Jones is doing a really tricky sum.

Thats an interesting vid innit, it shows him 'playing' with sounds on the fretless. Like.

Good effort, but his noodling face will never be as well developed as Robin Trower ! - masterclass !

Talking of Robin Trower, I spotted him playing a Gibson SG during his Procol Harum days, when I was watching this Youtube Vid.

I watched that vid last night as it happens.

I subscribe to Rick Beato's Youtube channel, so I get to see a lot of very interesting vids.

Bass face is traditionally different to guitar face.

As a very highly experienced bass player of many years I can tell you that the bass guitar in question is a 5 string fretless.

Thank you.
