John McLaughlin at 82 with Shakti

Down the neck shots of John McLaughlin’s picking hand from the NPR Tiny Desk with Shakti. In his 80s and he’s still firing on all cylinders. Truly incredible.

Jesus Christ… I saw John McLaughlin and 82 and almost shit myself….

Man, I love him. He “retired” due to arthritis in his right hand 7 years back, but has since overcome it and is still kicking ass. Very inspirational.

Indian musicians really take everyone else to school when it comes to command of pitch and rhythm
