From about 2 minutes into the video till the end, put your seatbelt on and enjoy the ride. I've listened to this 100 times and can't believe what I'm listening to.

Not the best but he's very good. What I am impressed with was his continuity - his transitions from one part of the solo to the next were smooth.
Had never heard of him, thanks for the link.
