Kids these days, man... I'm embarassed to say that I've been playing guitar for almost 40 years. I was watching Tim Henson the other day when he popped up in my feed for an Ernbie Ball add. Make what you will of his "boomer bend" remark, but he is an amazing guitarist. I don't really like what he plays, and I like to think that it's not that I'm too illiterate or too old, but still - the kid's amazing. Same with a lot of those young people posting reels on Instagram. I guess it's normal for certain human abilities to improve from generation to generation, but I feel the gap here is quite fantastic. Of course there's always a bunch of geezers putting them down and telling them they have no feel, but, having grown up in the 80's with Malmsteen and all those guys, that's nothing new.

Thank a bunch for these. I'm in a Queen phase right now, and I'm in the middle of the Night at the Opera Classic Album (I know, I know, I should have watched that one ages ago) but these are definitely going on the list.

Queen - My Fairy King

Queen - Great King Rat

Rush - A Farewell to Kings
