Why I am NOT a virtuoso

For all the guitarists who might be looking for reasons to quit playing – here’s something that might just do the trick hehehe.

People like this badass Brazilian player who has awesome technique(s) [and melodic solos to boot] are the reason why I have given up trying to be a “lead guitar” player looong ago – and instead just focus on creating/arranging/singing songs hahahaha. It’s much more easier to be a composer/arranger or vocalist than to develop this type of hand-dexterity.

Here are some more videos of him:

This one I really am not so hot about – it was more of a showcase of technique, unlike the one above.

Here’s another one of his better sounding improvs.

What can I say? Fat boy can play!

Shet, galing! Hehehe. I hear you on the lead guitarist sentiment. Ako rin dati ang “lead” sa “banda” namin pero na-realize ko over the years na mas natural ang playing ko sa acoustic setting. Kaya dun na lang ako.
