  1. The finger tapping guitar guy is a little impressive, but he needs to work on his rhythm and accuracy. Really bummed me out, seeing as the composition was geared towards demonstrating prowess and he kind of botched it in parts.

    Still an interesting use of guitar, but I’d rather listen to Jack Rose.

  2. C’mon, Tim…picky much? That was a live performance anyway, and no one is perfect. Erik Mongrain is a great composer, and a great guitarist. I’d recommend him to anyone.

  3. On the Gabing Plot Holes, I was about 7 when I saw Back to the Future. I can still remember seeing that plot hole about his parents recognizing him years later. Of course, time travel movies are riddled with plot holes so you gotta forget the rationale behind it.

  4. Too bad ABC news doesn’t realize there there are other candidates than John Obama. Could be a useful tool for people who don’t want to throw their vote away on a republicrat.
