Guitarist? Or Drummer?

Bungleau · 09-28-2008, 11:15 PM

What do you say?

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood · 09-29-2008, 06:00 AM

Guitmer, of course!

..very cool actually!

Nice one Bung!

Actually when I was in High School, he came to the school to perform, and played a conventional drum kit at one point. So he's most definitely a drummer, and a very good one at that.

Of course, he's also the best finger-picking guitarist in the world. And yet here's he's being a percussionist.

So the answer is all three! Guitarist, percussionist, drummer. A multi-instrumentalist!

I've found that guitarists who play drums have fantastic rhythm. I know a number of them. I myself play both drums and guitar too. The drumming helps!

It's called entertainment. A comedic display of musical virtuosity at the end of a brilliant and entertaining show.

It's what happens when you go to see a musically gifted and humorous entertainer perform live.

It's a Jay Turser fourstring, semi-cheap passive bass modeled after the Musicman Stingray. http://www.jayturser.com/jtb-445m.php

Got a pic of it too:
