Last night I was playing Spanish Fly on my nylon string and had forgotten how much of a stretch the end of that one is. HTF did he come up with that and then get so much sounded out of a nylon string? His wrists have to be made titanium to do that stuff. I feel arthritic when I do it.

i ought to get that video..i never have another guitarist to jam with who plays anything other than acoustic strumming. yeah, love ed's acoustic numbers, too..'take your whiskey home'..love the ***** out of that intro..i got most of it down, but the coolest sounding licks in it..guess i'm still fakin'
i learned cathedral late last year, but quit after my v olume pot finally said 'no more' and froze, so i tend to stay away from it now..lol. i have fairly long fingers, but yeah the ending tap series in 'spanish fly' is a bear..and the legato licks in the beginning before the tapping takes over? i often wonder about that..i mean, that guitar's friggin' angry! must have had the mic sitting right on the neck with mucho gain..surely nobody's fingers have that much attack..on nylon.
