I bet it was a great evening!
Imagine being able to play like that! It's got to be 5 hours a day practise minimum for years :-)

Not too late then!  Let's get practising!  :wink:

I seem to recall Martin Taylor saying in interviews that he was lucky, playing guitar did come very easily and naturally to him - but I'm sure there were many hours of hard work too.  I suppose good progress would inspire you to keep putting in the effort.

Practising what you can't do yet & getting out of your comfort zone seems to work. It's not as much fun at first though

I could imagine having that kind technique but I couldn't imagine putting it to use so well.
It wasn't a mistake, it was chromaticism, I swear.
