Ah well, I've never been taught to play pipe organs either. But I'm kind
of not completely hopeless at it... [In my rather biased opinion.]

A created another arrangement. Had to work quite a lot to play it as well
as I do in the video, as it's quite difficult (at least for me).

Very nicely done. Makes you appreciate the talent of professional
performers, doesn't it?

The question in today's corporate environment is not
so much "what color is your parachute?" as it is
"what color is your nose?"

That might have come out wrong. I mean, the fact that something like that
took a lot of work to learn to play well can make you appreciate how much
talent a professional who can dance around stage live while fireworks are
going off and make it sound as good.
I didn't mean "that sounds so awful it makes me wish only professionals
could play." :-)
(I probably wouldn't have needed the clarification except that I exasperated
you recently and you might think it was something personal. :-)

I think you are being paranoid.
Pros play so effortlessly and so perfectly that it is, indeed, quite
admirable. But it's always the result of lots, lots, lots and lots of
practice. Like at least 6 hours straight every single day for years.
I could never hope to reach that level. I don't have the motivation nor
the patience.

I've seen Carl Palmer play live several times now. He always as a couple
of other performers with him (because, let's face it, who's going to
listen to a drummer for 2 hours?) One of them is this guy called Paul or
something. He looks about 12 years old [although obviously he isn't].
Big mop of blond hair. And he can do absurd things to a guitar. I'll
never forget watching him play The Flight of the Bumblebee. Christ, that
was insane...
Some might argue that the facial expressions are over the top. But hey,
when you can play this well, I think you're entitled to look enthusiastic!
I have no idea how the hell somebody this young got to be so damned good.

Just careful, because I like and respect you, and that doesn't always come
across in ASCII. I'm glad you didn't read it in a way it wasn't intended. :-)

Indeed.

Not for music, but for programming. I imagine musical pros would go "Whoa,
how do you do that?" when seeing some of the cool programs you're written.

Indeed. And flight of the bumblebee is the first video on
http://www.paulbielatowicz.com/sights-and-sounds/videos/
Very impressive. Sort of the Harlem Globe Trotters of guitar.
Altho I imagine there are more difficult instruments to play flight of the
bumblebee on. Like... trombone maybe. :-)

And a quick search of youtube shows that I'm not the first to have thought
of this.
