Back To Love

A loooong time ago, in my former life as a frustrated high-school teenager, I loved rock. Pantera. Alice In Chains. Soundgarden. Rage Against The Machine. The Pumpkins. Then along came women, and along came New Jack Swing, and somehow I forgot what rock was.

But, thanks again to the Chuck Klosterman and the good people at Esquire magazine (who have done the YouTube trawling for me), this clip takes me back and once again reminds me of the enjoyment and sheer, face-melting skill that is required to make a guitar sing. Or even play Johann Pachelbel's "Canon in D".

So from one who is not worthy, thank you, Lim Jeong-Hyun, thank you. You are the man.
