Comments by "" (@johnwattdotca) on "What Makes a Virtuoso?" video.

  1. I began by seeing virtuosos on Ed Sullivan, and Oscar Peterson is local for me, a great start here. When I saw George Benson in 1971, he had another guitarist with him on stage. He tapped with four fingers on the frets with one or two fingers on the other hand, incredible. I carried a photo of Nicolo Paganini in my wallet with my Jimi Hendrix ticke stub for years. I consider myself a having sounds like Jimi Hendrix with riffage like John Coltrane and Nicolo Paganini. Playing with bass strings on the bottom means I don't have to scrunch up my fingers for high strings. I haven't heard anyone faster than me yet, and I stand up and move around and dance when I play, and sing. I'm trying to start a new band, having a gig offer in Niagara Falls, Canada. Talk on brother, keeping sending your signal your way my way.
