That is pretty damn crazy. Easily one of the most impressive things I've seen.

very impressive, major skills right there.  He lost it a little in the tapping part but recovered well.  Massive balls for even attempting that part.

I'm always torn about these things. Is it an amazing display of skill? Absolutely. Is it an enjoyable rendition of the song? Not particularly.

This.  Quite amazing, but it sounds too staccato, when the song is supposed to have a naturally laid back and flowy kind of feel to it.

Also, I love playing this song.

That was cool. What does he have on his guitar to make it strum? He ruined the mood though when he talked, "this is the...part"

He's tapping out the arpeggios with the left hand.

*raises shield*

I guess it's pretty good.  I don't get all the :omg: though.  Think about it ... piano players have to play multiple melodies with both hands.  Drummers have to do it with four limbs, and for really good drummers (Mangini), keep different times with different limbs.

Don't get me wrong, this is obviously a helluva lot of talent, I'm just not blown away by it.  It's not something you see very often, and maybe that's the reason it's most impressive.
