HOLY SHIT!!!

Just about covers it...



Derrin Nauendorf is simply the most incredible guitar player I have ever seen... Phenomenal!!!

I was completely blown away. He plays with this insane funky style, playing percussion by wrapping strings, tapping his guitar and even headbutting the mic! He also plays bass notes, rhythm, harmonics and lead seemingly at the same time... Truly remarkable. I would recommend every single person on the planet, regardless of your musical taste, to check this guy out, he is one of a kind. Made me want to burn my guitar and CLEARLY illustrated that at best, I am a proficient guitar player who uses the instrument as a vehicle to get over my song... THAT guy can play the guitar!

I really enjoyed opening the show and the place was really busy and the crowd were cool, a testament to the popularity of Derrin and as I said above, he appeals to everybody. There were goths, stoners, trendy dudes, pretty women, older business types, just about everybody was there and blown away.

I'm moving house, so found some of my old toys in boxes so I set-up last night with a wah wah pedal and a chorus pedal and played around, the audience didn't seem to mind although my amp nearly exploded.
