Nice! I always admire skills that people have that I don't...

One day I shall have mastery* over the guitar.

(* When I say "have mastery", I mean "not sound terrible"... )

(I am teaching myself and improving, bit by bit. I did go down a bit of a Dan Huff rathole last week, when figuring out a solo on a favourite record, only to find out that he also played a ton of my fave guitar parts on many of my fave records over the years...)

[zenguitar]

well done that man.

[Eddy Deegan]

I am quite floored. Amazing stuff, and that did look like a lot of fun!

[Folderol]

Clearly the work done on your hands was a success. Well done on the charity, and good to (finally) see you in action

[The Elf]

An amazing player and a nice guy.

[Sam Spoons]

Very tasty playing SSG and great result for a worthy cause.

[Kwackman]

This is the best emoticon I can find to show jealousy....

[Drew Stephenson]

I'm not even jealous, might as well be jealous of a bird's ability to fly, that's so far beyond me.
Good work with getting your hands back in action Max, and with the fundraising.

[Studio Support Gnome]

37 minutes of tasty playing there Max. Loved the violining - nice tone. Was thinking I was going crazy and you'd become a leftie, until I dismissed the iPhone video and saw your comment below.

Glad the hands are working so well for you.

Season's greetings.

Well, he does play an zǝuɐqI.

[Jack Ruston]

Mate it's so great to see you able to play. You've worked so hard with your hands and the difference from a few years back is really remarkable.

[CS70]

Cool stuff!!

An Ipanez?

[Wonks]

A Ipauez. Please pay attention!

Silly website inverted the letters as well as printing them in reverse and I didn't notice until it was too late to edit it.

Heard Max playing before - always thought (on a good day) I'd just about be able to keep up...

.. I was very wrong!!!

Great work!!

[Martin Walker]

Keep up the good work Max, and I hope at least some of you noticed the dedication on this, the third of Max's links:

Thanks again Max, it really does cheer me up

[Drew Stephenson]

I noticed the track title, thought about referencing you as a joke, then decided not to...

[Dr R]

Superb stuff, thanks for posting that.
I'm off to practice "Three Little Birds" on the bass. About 10% of the notes/second, but have to start somewhere.

Great work!!

bless ya mate....

I have a similar feeling now and again , when i watch Rob Johnson Practice some of his chops .. ( lets just say... he is faster than several speeding bullets having a downhill race in an infinitely steep gravity well )

(Go look up Magnitude 9 ..... and some of his solo work.... like Guitarchitecture )

he's an awfully nice chap, keeps watching my videos (on Facebook Live ) , and i keep watching his..... and he's generally telling me I sound great.... which is both humbling and embarrassing.... Kind of like having * insert preferred guitar hero name here* looking over your shoulder when you practice..... and telling you how great you are, while you're dribbling with melted brain and fried fingers at the thought of ever being able to play anything near like they do....

a bit Different stylistically..... but damn i'd like to master some of his techniques..... on my to do list still...... and probably always will be.....

okay , maybe not the same feeling, but you know what i mean..... from any given perspective a thing looks different in ways only the observer can truly appreciate...
