Rodrigo y Gabriela - Southsea - Gab solo jam

Best drum solo ever. ; )

She's so amazing. Can you imagine the callouses on her fingers though?

To palmarjp:
Who cares - can you imagine callouses on Eric Clapton's fingers? Do we really care?
The music is beautiful.

How can you say you don't care about Clapton's callouses??? WTF is the matter with you??? Don't you toss and turn longing to know the exact state of the dead skin peeling and crusting off the tips of his fingers???

No, actually I am not... Strange... isn't ?

Gabriela's percussion skills are amazing! I tried and tried to just get a solid beat going following her technique, but to no avail. I love this group and hope they tour in the US again soon.

I love how so many people say Gabriela's part isn't hard to do, when I have not yet seen a vid where anyone has mastered her technique, but I have seen many vids where people can do Rodrigo's part almost perfectly. Only real guitarist or real lover's of the guitar (like me) can appreciate her talents as both a guitarist and percussionist.

Hmmm, learn Gabriela's part in days .... as if. She is an incredible PERCUSSIONIST!!! Which she also teaches! Doesn't compete with Rodrigo on guitar. Together, they created something new. What you do? People love what she does because we are all MOVED by percussion - and that she does it so creatively - and beautifully, it's amazing. Maybe that dude w/comment below- maybe you could learn her part in days IF you were already a percussionist of some skill AND knew how to play the guitar .

to 'mr. mexicanfrusciante'....you can learn her part in days.......what an ego. Too bad you can't put your ego away and acknowledge true talent. What a looooser.

She uses her guitar and hand as a bodhrán (a traditional Irish framedrum)with an incredible speed , rythm and skill. But the bodhrán is played with a double headed stick called tipper, and she uses her hand, wow, she's great.... Remember Caroline Corr ? she used to play the bodhrán in some songs, no doubt Gabriela is smart and skillful enough to learn what each country can offer her in terms of music and innovations.
