Oh cool! I don't know about Jeff Healey. So Hiroaki learned that style from him. Is Healey's technique easier than regular technique, for blind guitarists? I don't see why it would be.

4 Sho! I've mentioned him on here before. He's a damn good vocalist as well. He's also a twin. Go figure. I wonder if his twin plays, too?
Hiroaki has skillz, too. I'll have to check him out a lil' bit more.
