    Jennifer Batten - best two hand tapping ever heard when she did the flight of the bumblebee. Wow!

    Do you think she's actually playing that? I heard she use to mime a lot of that stuff, so she was free to artistically create the image

    How so? It's not often you associate one of the most amazing guitarists with small town NZ.

    Personally I have a great appreciation for Mark Knopfler - he can play fast (albeit not shredder-like-fast), it's nearly always very melodic and he doesn't use a pick. That aside he's both a great compose and a great lyricist - the wit in most of his lyrics is mindblowing.

    Jennifer Batten rocks - no doubt about it. unk:

    Far out. I stand corrected. Interesting. I spent a lot of time in Masterton - lived there for a few years, and played with a number of guys who came from there - same musical genre too - and I never met or heard of Sam until Dragonforce.

    The 'rapa has a habit of breeding a few fast guys though - a certain ex-Superbike racer comes to mind too.

    Maybe it's just a case of 'there's nothing else to do, so just practice, practice, practice'.

    Well, talent has to enter the equation somewhere along the line

    Dunno, it's really the nature vs nurture debate all over again.

    I'm not sure if I really believe in "talent" some people are good at things because they practice a lot, others don't have the discipline to stick it iout to become good at it.

    People with good hand-eye co-ordination probably picked it up while they were young, and it's served them well into later life.

    Interesting debate though.

    You a player Hubba Gubba? I've been playing guitar since 1974.

    Unfortunately not, I fall into the "too lazy to practice column"
    I bought a Guitar and Amp (Remember Head Like A Hole? It's Booger Beazley's old guitar, as seen in the "I'm On Fire" video) A mate has promised to teach me, i've just got to take him up on it now.

    Huge respect for the people that can work the magic on the frets though.

    Yeah, I remember HLAH. We used to share practice rooms with them and Shihad back in the day. Haven't seen the HLAH boys in yonks - last I saw Mark he was doing live sound work.

    Here's a thread I created previously regarding some old tunes of mine.
