    Dude is from an other world. He improvised while playing the bass line which is in 5/4 time signature without any mistakes. And then he played the drum solo 'on the guitar' while still playing the bass line!

    thank you. I’m sitting here in a giant hospital in JAPAN, 69 years old, recovering from triple bypass open-heart surgery and thinking about how I would really like to get home and get back to practicing again after seeing this. I’ll dedicate a video of me playing Albeniz to you, Lucas. Thanks for all of the inspiration over the years.
    UPDATE: thank you so much to everyone who wrote such encouraging comments. This week I got back to work on my recording projects after I discovered the Zoom R4 digital recorder/interface. I will be launching my new UA-cam channel in the coming weeks.
