    Beautiful playing. However I reject the whole concept of competition in music, or any creative media. Why must we always do it. Was Cézanne better than Vincent van Gogh? Judging the sublime in competition is missing the point IMO.

    Nice. Such smooth transitions both in chords and combinations of lead and chords. Teles, you can nice tones from them it's not all twangy like people identifie with. It's the players technique, possible change in pickups and amp settings. But mainly hands, dynamics in picking either with fingers, pick or using both at sametime.
