You don't need to see to play the guitar. I don't really look at the guitar most of the time when I'm playing.

Nothing really unusual. Just the two I can recall easily.

1. Jeff Healey.

2. Jose Feliciano.

Rmtt Considering your options after eye surgery?

Don't overlook this:

It was just a video I came across this morning when I got to work. Nothing extraordinary about it except that it made me smile to see other people enjoying life.

As for my eye surgery...it's not something I am set in stone about.

The Jose Feliciano clip was awesome. He stayed true to the basic melody but improvised the entire song, fingerpicking a nylon string classical.

I thought about posting this Jeff Healy video in response to the OP but decided not to. Having said that these guys are all great talents. Jeff Healy passed way too early. RIP.

I remember seeing Feliciano play "The Flight of the Bumblebee" on TV when I was young. Not an easy piece for the guitar.

Gonzo once tried to eat a tyre on The Muppet Show while Flight of The Bumblebee played in the background.
