Ripping fast guitar dexterity, just pure notes, not unlike Art Tatum's piano runs, actually. Paul works in loads of styles, tipped off by the song titles: Brazil, Hipbilly Boogie, Lady of Spain, etc.
As a showpiece of every damn thing anyone'd heard to do with a guitar up till then, it's a thing to behold. But, and maybe this is sacrilege given the rep of the man's guitar's, the actual tone is damned annoying, a squealing, trebbly little scribble that I just wanted to end by the end. Hard to really love something, virtuosity aside, that is so unpleasant to the actual ear 2.5/5
