This is kind of obscure, but I was watching tv last night and happened to catch a rerun of that old 80's show "21 Jump Street" where Johnny Depp got his big break. Anyway, in this episode, Depp and the other detectives are undercover at a performing arts school. There's a scene where Depp is in a music class, and the band starts playing a shuffle. This kid - he kind of looks like a young
Paul Gilbert - runs in late, straps on a guitar - and proceeds to just rip through some absolutely astonishing runs up and down the fretboard. My jaw was on the floor - as was just about everyone in the class. Later on, Depp asks him about his performance and he says something like, "Oh, that? I was just running through some arpeggios." They didn't sound like arpeggios to me! Anyone happen to have seen that episode and know what the heck he was doing?
