Carlos should have taken some time to practice the tune. He is mostly
in the way of the groove. What is the geet the George is playing?

at the risk of being pounded by some I still feel compelled to say that
Carlos is not a jazz guitarist...not really on GB's level.....
I think that has kinda been implied around these parts on many
occasion...

Carlos is every bit on GB's level as a musician, but as a jazz guitar
player he's not even close. I'm sure he would agree.

Of course; he's not a jazz guitarist at all. Why did that even come
up? <snip>

accomplished musician...
