At 42 seconds in, check out the chord changes. Simon is long regarded as one of the great song writers of our age, but he doesn't get enough cred as one of the best guitarists too!!
@Yaarrr Three very quick chords on a twelve string by a guy with very small hands. I'm not saying that is THE proof, but the chords he pulls there is not particularly "easy" for many guitarists. Another guy who does this a lot and is an unsung great is Glenn Tilbrook from Squeeze.... Man, that guy is good!
@sonicfrogdotnet Yeah fair enough, never actually played a twelve string, not sure how difficult it is to play. There's other video's that show his guitar skills more, and you're right, considering that in this video he's 69 or maybe 70, and still going strong. That's something to admire. I've actually seen squeeze live recently and you're right :p
@Yaarrr I know about the small hands thing because I too have midget hands!!!! :-) And yes, I'm jealous that you've seen Tillbrook live! But I've seen Bob Schneider and got to hang out with him a bit, so I guess that evens things a little.
Zero people don't like good music.... oh, wait!

@sonicfrogdotnet That's like 3 chords man, played kinda quickly. I agree he's a definitely a good guitarist, but that doesn't show it
