Where did you hear that? I've heard rumors all morning without any substantiation. If it's true that's sad.

Starts kinda funny with some other guy picking his nose, but about 2:15 in there Jerry rips a lick that sounds like tapping it's so fast and clean. The man could burn and play some amazing stuff.

Two cool things: Jerry's necklace and watching Chet do sweep arpeggios - and Jerry laughing after he does em. Take that Yngwie Malmsteen!
