I haven't heard of him. What does he play? I'm assuming classical guitar. I'll have to check him out if he is half the guitarist Segovia is. Segovia is the Beatles of classical guitar. He made it acceptable to the classical world. The guy is a true bad ass.

Oh no, he doesnt play guitar. He was like the essential classical violinist, and he played so fast that the people he played for (back in the 18th century) thought he sold his soul to the devil. So being the kinda attention whore he was he went with it and said he did. Well, apparently these people believe it soo much that when he did, his body was left to rot in his appartment because no one wanted to go in and get him out. Crazy story but ya he plays like incredibly fast, but ya violin, so its not quite the same as Segovia.

My attention span is so short and have so many other things to do that I rarely put in the effort to master another person's music. I used to know how to play most Nirvana and Metallica songs, now I would be lucky to remember the basic riffs to any of their songs lol. I'm lazy.

Ya i feal ya on this. When i was in high school i was still taking lessons and i used to learn new classical shit every monday. But having not been in almost 3 years now, im kinda falling off as well. There are a couple i still remember and practice but ya, too much effort into mastering someone elses songs. Great for social events tho, where a guitar is handy. But, i dont go to many social events these days:(
