more impressive is the ability to play chord-based rhythms, melody lines and quite complex bass patterns AT THE SAME TIME...and often at speed.

masters of this technique are Tommy Emmanuel,Leo Kottke, Martin Taylor and Adrian Legg. when you hear or see these fellas play you find yourself looking around for other players hiding behind the curtains because they can sound like 3 playing at once. Ive seen both Martin T and Tommy E covering the Beatles 'Day Tripper' playing the original lead line with the thumb, doing the chord parts with (i think) the middle and index fingers and the melody line with the 4th and pinkie. awesome!
