This little gem is my favorite performance of anything, ever. Although there are a precious few shots of his hands, the ones there are are priceless. The one I want to mention in particular (4:12) I believe Alan will enjoy, as it demonstrates perfectly that notorious 'grasping' action so perfectly. I may make a GIF of it and use it for something. Any thoughts ?

He uses his structure well, and you hear the result in his sound. Unfortunately, there are so many art shots that we can't really see his performance from beginning to end, but what we do see is impressive! AFF
