Was discouraged until I came across this guitarist

Feel free to get outside the box here.

I've got Romanza down but am still having a heck of a time with barring on the seventh fret. I got it once, then it went away again. :( But after I saw this, I know I just need to try harder. This guy is amazing. He has no arms, and he performs in public playing guitar with his feet! It always uplifts me when I see this. I'm sorry that I don't know how to post a video. But take a look if you get a chance.

Can you imagine how many times he must have dropped the pick learning to play! I guess he must have it on a ring around his toe. It's so inspiring to see someone with that level of determination to master an already difficult instrument with his feet! Makes all our fussing about barre chords seem laughable, eh?

Video posted itself: TG is cool, eh? Did you try the automatic writing function too Abbenormal? Just think your words and they'll appear on the post! ;-)

I've never seen anything like that before. Unbelievable. It makes me want to say to myself "No excuses!"

thank you Mshrad...love your avatar too! LOL A viking Kitty...the Alex Droog is actually paint on canvas I bought when I was in the chips. :)

I'm so glad that people are finding this video as inspirational as I do. His performance of Drift Away is really great too.

i fall right into step with the "no more whining and excuses" up above. Something awful took this fellow's arms, but he was given a gift in their place, i know the exchange seems horribly one sided but man, what a gift, *shakes head in disbelief* -Brad
