You guys will recall a couple of months back when I posted a video of John Denner here on the forum. John, you my recall, was born without a hand on his right arm, but has overcome this handicap and plays Eddie Van Halen-style chops like they are nothing!

John recently made a trip to the UK to record a CD. While there he shot a video in the studio where he gives us the Reader's Digest version of how he learned to play the guitar. This video is extremely inspirational and, as far as I'm concerned, is a MUST to view. Embedding has been disabled, but here is the link for the video to watch on youtube:

John is also a member of our forum. I know we've all been sort of scattered to the four winds since sometime last Fall due to our jobs, the holidays, etc., so I just wanted to point out that John has joined us here in case some of you were not aware. He is a very cool individual and a kick-ass guitarist!

Hope you enjoy this video. Now I have some catching up to do...I see Graham has posted something about Two Of Us...got home this evening from Lowsyanna to find an inbox-full of mail so I'm slowly sifting through it all...HAHAHA.

Have a great evening everyone.

Totally amazing, a real inspiration. He seems like a really nice guy too. He has taken a disability and turned it into a major advantage. I cant believe that he has only been playing a few years and that is what I find the most impressive.

I didn't know that he was here on the forum. If you're looking in...welcome John. I'm sure that we are all honored.

Ditto matey... welcome aboard! I had the pleasure of meeting up with a local Liverpool band 'Xander and the Smoke Pockets' at a family wedding whose lead guitarist Keith has overcome a similar disability to play some cracking guitar.

John - you are an inspiration, no question!

Cheers - Graham, Liverpool, UK.
