This is amazing, how can someone play with such virtuosity, precision and humour? The fact that he stays dead pan throughout the entire performance is just dizzyingly brilliant.
Raymond's talent blows me away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't realize until watching these videos of him that anyone could be so talented. Go Raymond Go!!!!
@obscenegrace2003 I would imagine that he needs to concentrate on what he is doing. Gracing the crowd with smiles is probably the last thing on his mind.
HOW THE FCK DOES HE DO THAT WITH JUST 2 HANDS

@impeachy26 Raymond doesn't hate anyone. Unless you're a prick.

Playing a musical instrument requires intense concentration, thus no smiles. If you are a comedian then smile and put on facials...

With picks that fast there's no time for a smile... and he doesn't need to. He's Ray Fairchild for God's sake!!
