I love him like a brother, but I don't think he could play a whole song (or a whole verse of a song for that matter), without improvising his way out of the band... also, his notes get so short that he's at risk of becoming a percussionist.
After saying all that, I've never seen him play in a band -- so he'd probably be fine. 😬
To be fair, any guitarist wearing long hair, an earring, or a stout neckchain, is giving away a weak point in unarmed combat.
Or a scarf, neck tie or neckerchief.
Or loose clothing such as a heavy jacket, particularly if up against a judo expert.
There was a time when if you wanted mint sauce with your meat on a Sunday, you'd send a child out to the garden to pick a few mint leaves, you'd chop them up (the mint leaves, not the child), add them to a little vinegar et voila.
Nowadays folks buy frozen pizza and ice cubes from the supermarket.
I have no idea what I mean by that.
