Julia can play 2 open chords, E and A but when she watches old Jimmy at the Jamzac comfortably playing bar chords she is in awe. Jimmy, who can play bar chords doesn’t feel anything special, doesn’t remember what it was like to not know how to do this thing he has done for 40 years. He watches footage of Jeff Beck and is freaked out that he solos so incredibly well without using a pick. Jeff Beck doesn’t think soloing without a pick anything special, he looks at Sheila the 11 yr old skateboarder and is blown away that she can they do a kick flip and not crash and break her pelvis. He doesn’t know how she does it. Sheila doesn’t think her kick flip anything amazing not like the velocity of Busta Rhymes rapping which she can’t stop marvelling at. She thinks she could never do that. In fact they all think they could never do the thing they other does which knocks them out. Busta isn’t as impressed with his own songs as much as he is fascinated by Evan Parker’s effortless circular breathing. Even Parker yawns when people flatter his technique but the fact that North Americans can drive on the right side of the road is for him an endless source of amazement, he can drive at home in Britain no problem.
