bireli video, and musical talent: nature vs nurture

[turnipmonster]

this is a video of bireli lagrene playing guitar when he was 11 or 12. halfway through this video, he takes the upright bass from the bass player and plays an amazing solo on that also.

pretty astounding and imo good evidence that some cats just have it. fwiw he plays even better now in a multitude of different styles, sings great AND rips it up on accordion as well as electric bass. just ridiculous.
