    I’m a guitarist and it’s shocking how good Ralph does on guitar: that’s the best fake guitar playing I’ve ever seen. He’s playing the notes pretty close to the real tracks. Ralph is an amazing actor and you can tell he did his due diligence in actually learning the guitar parts. The skill it takes to play these parts is extremely difficult. He really makes it hard to tell that it’s not him. Astounding really.

      Im a guitarist too, but its pretty uncomfortable for me to see how his hands are moving while listening to the actual music, but since he's an actor, i guess he did a pretty good job at imitating and catching the audiences attention by his fake playing.

      @George Frank Actually, Ralph Macchio could play guitar. He learned a lot of the basics for this movie. That way the guitar playing would be somewhat convincing for people who watched the movie. And obviously he can act, there's no question about that. You certainly wouldn't be able to act as well as Ralph Macchio. I don't see why you would belittle someone in that regard, when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. I don't even like Ralph Macchio, and I was able to figure this out with a quick Google search.

      He's a top notch actor. The guy learned to actually play the guitar for this role and had high hopes of even actually being the one playing in the movie. Even though there was no way he was going to be able to get good enough fast enough to actually be the one playing the fact that he threw himself into the role and learned to play a guitar for it says a lot about him as an actor. Without that level of passion the movie would have looked very fake every time he played.

    If you're a guitarist, you can tell which actors know how to play and which ones don't. He may not be actually playing the parts, but he definitely plays guitar enough to play these pieces if not as perfectly as you hear them. Fantastic job in these scenes.

    Interesting thing is - I have been playing guitar for 23 years and building guitar pedals for over 10 years now - and I remember watching this way back and thinking that the classical instructor was a dick - but the reality is I never appreciated the fact that the "Lightnin'" character actually loved the blues and wanted to play and be appreciated and jam. His classical teacher ultimately told him to explore what he loves and understand that the world of classical music is very much a rigid and stressful environment lacking the fun or "joke" that he revealed in the exam/performance. Looking at it now I see the teacher as really setting the player free to go where he really needs to go - doing what he loves.

'........the actor is actually playing note for note the music of Steve Vai and Ry Cooder........' I'll keep looking for the original interview I mentioned previously.

It is not feasible to improvise when playing classical music with an orchestra, for example and it takes years of dedicated practice to be reliable enough to do it. However there are many classical musicians who can improvise without any trouble. The art of improvisation is not lost at all and most classical musicians would be excellent improvisers.

    ....and yet it was Eugene'e "classical priorities" that won the final battle vs Jack Butler. No matter how much he was frustrated with his classical "roots" and wanted something else. Likewise Willie Brown in this Movie was desperately trying to forget his, yet knew he also had to return to them for resolution. This movie is excellent and has a lot of layered meanings if you look deep enough. It cover's a lot of subjects. .....plus the Music is awesome.
