Not sure if anyone has posted this before but if not, have a look. This guy is pretty remarkable and inspiring.

I think it is inspiring because he loves what he does and wouldn't let something stop him that would probably stop many others.

At least one of the subforums had a stickie about him, if it's the same guy. I didn't bother to look 'coz I saw a lot of his great playing quite some time ago and figured this would be a re-run.

EDIT: out of respect, I must add the name of the person who I'd often watched clips of: Bill Clements. Like the giant Ampeg bass cab that gets posted over and over as if it was just shown at NAMM, he's been a fixture on forums for years. but he actually deserves continued notice.

I apologize if it's been posted before. I did want to share it for those who hadn't seen it, I know I sure hadn't and it blew me away. This is up there with the guy that has no arms who plays guitar with his feet and sings.

Bill was the first person I thought of too, but it's not Bill Clements.
