He is exceptionally talented.

There's another video out there somewhere...a guy playing the hell out of a guitar that he made out of a shovel. I'll see if I can find it.

Stevie Ray became his guitar every time he played. He was absolutely the greatest.

And then there's Mike Oldfield, take a look at the 5 minute mark, and again at the 10:25 ish mark, for a little guitar playing. He was 17 years old at the time....

This is the full piece including the classical guitar he does for part 2 which is simply beautiful...
