Nervous Guitar Boogie Woogie

Improvising on my Spanish guitar (with my teeth on edge). Not very clean (some thumb-picking at the end).
This video is (overwhelming) evidence that I'm not a professional guitar-player, of course; this is ONLY an improvisation (in an edgy mood) that does not intend to compete or compare with the many excellent boogie guitar videos on YouTube.
(YouTube, after all, allows us hopeless amateurs to post such obviously non-professional videos as this one.)

With my apologies to expert pickers and musical ears!
(the short intro I repeatedly use here is inspired from Tennessee Ernie Ford's song "You're My Sugar")

[Note added in 2008: If you think I've speeded up my recording, as two recent comments falsely claim, please watch the "Response" to this video]

Speed is nothing, u sound like a guy on crack, get another guitar by the way

[Tamborr]

You're right about speed - but I've never even smoked a cigarette in my life. It's fortunate for my neighbors that my guitar is not electric. Thanks for watching!

if that wasnt clean then i cant imagine was clean sounds like.. good job!

haha...the comment below is hilarious. what's next?..someone should have told Bach and Mozart that there is no Allegro, Presto, or Prestissimo. In my experience, people who say speed is nothing usually can't play with speed. I think the more appropriate comment should be speed is not everything...which I think people who can play fast and accurate would agree it's not everything, but speed has its place for sure.
