I've been playing guitar for most of my life and I would rate my skill level as rank beginner. It makes me even more aware of how far I haven't come in my guitar playing when I watch a video like this one. I've decided to go home tonight and burn my guitar because I'll never be good enough to even change this guys strings.

The young man in this video is Miguel Rivera and now that I've told you his name, I've told you all I know about him except for the fact that he is an amazing guitar player. It's one thing to play a song like "Beat It" on an acoustic guitar, but another thing to include all the percussion embellishments and all the little fancy riffs and trills in the song as well.

I never cease to be amazed at the talent level we sometimes find on Youtube. I've encountered people who are not known to anyone yet possess talent far beyond that of some people who are household names. I guess Miguel Rivera fits into that category rather neatly. I'm sure you will be amazed at this guys talent .
