Yeah but I saw him with a full band. They were really good … the drummer did a helkuva solo. They were not miming. 

Maybe some of them were?

Maybe. Maybe, but honestly can’t believe that any of them were. I think that in a live context but playing a very heavily rehearsed set they were a tight, and very competent band. I was more focused on tue bass player but he was outstanding as was the drummer. I was there with a friend who has been a session guitarist and works professionally as a gigging musician and neither of us thought anyone was miming. AND I had my glasses on!

 

I really think that miming to that standard in front of a live audience would be harder than playing it live!

Not sure. Ask Madonna, the queen of miming.

Or Taylor Swift.

Look. Maybe he was miming but I just don’t think it’s likely. Nobody has ever called him out as a fake for his work with his band and he’s been touring for years but…. I would love to hear his isolated playing from the desk. That would be fascinating. I think it’s more likely that he’s put a live set together of pieces that look flashy and sound impressive but are not that challenging and have runs and riffs that don’t show up flawed playing. That would be was easier than running the whole gig to a click and miming playing guitar. But I could be wrong. I often am.

I am not on Insta, but I don't suppose Mr Tuah apologised yet there, where his main "audience" resides? 😁

You get good at doing what you do a lot of, you mime a lot you get bloody good at it 😕

Listen to or watch Rick Beato's answer, you'll find the answer you're looking for.

You’re must be right. I probably can’t tell a live musician from someone faking it when I’m standing in front of them. Nobody could.
