Yes, but I did see him on TV with a guitar strapped on him and one sort
of held up by a custom guitar stand. He was hammering-on with the bass
and chords on one guitar and the melody (and harmony) on the other guitar.
Actually, it's not that difficult, but you need a custom guitar that
allows for a very low action and extremely sensitive pickups. Of course,
practice helps too... :)
> to be honest most of his music has been rather dull.
Well, yeah....he's considered the "Kenny G of the guitar" more or less.

Can't forget that one. Say, did Billy Preston ever do Beatles covers?
I'm sure he did (of all the people in the world), just don't know which
songs exactly.
