Spelled out

Iโ€™ve embedded this before. Iโ€™ll probably embed it again. Itโ€™s my favorite rock/blues performance by anyone, ever.

The way she bends those notes. I could practice for a decade and couldnโ€™t do that. Thatโ€™s a song I didnโ€™t even like till she owned it so hard the stage about melted.

Conventional wisdom is that women just canโ€™t play the guitar because their dainty little hands or something. Iโ€™d invite anyone to watch this performance and claim such a stupid fucking thing.
