Look, I'll be honest. Most of the time when we're on stage, I'm just trying to remember what key we're playing in and when the chord changes happen.
So when I see something like the bit lead guitarist Chris Detrick pulled last night, my jaw drops.
Can't even remember which song we were playing, but I happened to notice Chris reach for a beer. While the verse was winding down, which means it was about time for Chris to take a solo. I'm thinking, "Dude. Drink the beer fast. You need both hands to play that solo."
Except he didn't. Chris leaned back, took a big pull on the beer, and played the solo one-handed, just hammering the notes out on the fretboard.
Very impressive. And Chris says it was just a warmup act for what he plans to do at the B. R. Cohn Fall Music Festival : repeat the same stunt, but this time, with a glass of Pinot Noir in his hand.
I'd pay to see it.
