Members ArmyGuitar Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 WoW I feel like crap after watching that, I always make excuses for not practicing and getting better. Well I have no excuse now! Truly amazing and inspirational! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pewtershmit Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 ok I'll be that guy. that was AWFUL. I'd give him props just cause of the arm thing, but usually people with a disability don't want the pity-props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members w00dsy Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 my son has been having trouble learning pinch harmonics, so i just showed him this guy doing them with his arm, he said he feels like he needs to put a bit more effort in now Amazing technique given his circumstances. Must be hard to hit each string, i assume he has some sort of pick attached to the stump cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members w00dsy Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 even though i admire the guy for what he can do, is it cool to add tags like this to your own videos? Amazing Awesome Excellent Brilliant Player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mnewb1 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 I was brought up to believe if you can't say anything good, don't say anything.

Members w00dsy Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 Having overcome difficulties such as he has, you think he gives a damn what is cool or not? he may not care what is cool, but he seems to know what is amazing, awesome, excellent & brilliant He certainly kicks my arse at playing guitar, and i have 2 fully functional arms.

Members DaveAronow Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 Gigging 20, and 30+ hours a week, every week for years and years and YEARS, plus over 20,000 hours logged in my lifetime, either standing on a stage playing, or at home practicing, Is my excuse. I have four shows left this weekend alone, and it is already saturday, for example. I only "practice" anymore while Im recording something and doing takes trying to get a part a little smoother, or when I pick up an instrument and do a little writing. I still have a TON to learn musically, I always will, but I dont have a fire for just sitting around and "practicing" like I used to since I can pretty much do anything I want to with the instrument anyway. Thats my excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 Inspirational and impressive... I'm not sure if I'll spend more time practicing, since I spend most of my playing-at-home time writing songs for my band, but it's cool to see an example of something like this.

Members GAS Man Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 I had my best guitar teacher (evah), classical guitar, once tell me that guitar is a right hand instrument. ok I'll be that guy. that was AWFUL. I'd give him props just cause of the arm thing, but usually people with a disability don't want the pity-props. hhmmm, I think it's okay to be "that guy" on a forum, but I'm not getting that on either level. I think it is more inspirational than "pity". And for the most part, I think he's nailing it exactly the way he wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nicholai Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 Just because you can't do 32nd notes doesn't make you not a musician. Playing things that don't hurt my ears is mostly all I ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
