I'm really not so sure about all the facial expressions though.  Hendrix looked cool when he pulled faces.  This guy looks like he's advertising Larrivee as a cure for constipation.  (No disrespect to the playing skills)

Those kinds of things (involuntary muscle constractions) are common when extreme concentration and focus are required. I know a preacher who closes one eye while making some poignant statements. Strange, but so is genius.

I've seen Phil a few times at a local folk club here in the UK (Cross Keys, Uppermill) and he is very entertaining and a crackin player - he does seem to have developed some facial expressions recently but I would be prepared to look like a gurning champion if I could play like that    :bgrin:

Awww guys, I wasn't trying to be disrespectful, it was a poor attempt at humour. His playing is far beyond what I could ever dream of, and I am sure he's a really nice bloke.

Sincere apologies. Wish I'd never said anything.

Any room in the cave Unclrob?

I never noticed his facial expressions. The guitar sounds fab and his playing ain't too shabby, at all.

Well, I can't play like that, but my OM-03R is much better looking than his!    :bgrin:

Very nice. If I practice really hard I might sound like that in about a hundred years.
