Playing My Guitar and Your Guitar, Too



In this video, guitarist Dave Simpson of the Dave Simpson Trio is strumming his own guitar, but fretting the bass. Bass player Carina Powell/CiCi Bass. is picking her bass, but fretting Simpson's guitar. While they are playing basically the same tune, the sensation of two very different instruments in different hands is quite jarring to a musician, but they pull it off well. They switch left hands back to their own instruments before the video is over, to show us what they're best at. It's cool to watch, and cool to imagine what it feels like. (via Laughing Squid)

They are both playing the same thing for much of this, so while impressive, it's not as hard as it looks.

Is Anonymous missing the point ?
Is that why they call themselves Anonymous ... to save ridicule ?

Ah, that sounds mean, I don't mean to be ... mean, it is just that they are anonymously hiding behind an anonymous wall.
If you search the interwebby thing, you will find not many WilliamRockets, but look for Anonymous and WOW ... so many people don't want their name put to what they say !

Back on track ... such dexterity ... now picture them in bed snuggling, THATS what it is all about.

Lol.
