I've been playing in live bands for ten years - it's easy to spot what's live and what isn't. Most of the guitars aren't him - but the occasional lead breaks are, and are live. Why there was a lead hanging out of the transmitter pack on his strap is beyond me - but shouldn't affect anything.

[quote=stillrockin]He could play the whole thing live - as evidenced by the person who has seen him in Petronella[quote]
If he could really play well then he would play the whole way through. It would be easy for him. He doesn't play the whole way through. I doubt if he can barely play at all. |

If that were the case, How did Peter from 2 to go manage to play a keyboard and sax live?
Different kettle of fish. Tabby would have had to use at least three patches to play all the parts. "Silent switching" between the sounds (Rhythm, lead, boost and possibly clean) never actually is, so there would have been an audible 'clunk' when changing between sounds, and pedal board at his feet. Seems like they went for the simple option where he plays the most impressive (i.e. lead) parts only.

He does play the guitar. It is a digital thing. He said that 2 weeks ago.

Trevor (aka Scabby) will be outraged to read some of the things on here about his inability to play his guitar.

Just because you are jealous does not give you the right to bear false witness.
Of course Tabby CAN play. Only someone in denial or an idiot would say otherwise. As for leads - guitars have not required leads for over 10 years - what century do you live in. Should he put a lead in just to please all of you jealous people. |

He may of played the guitar on the soundtrack (as stated on ITV2) - but there is no proof ... what the audience at home see is a guy hiding behind a guitar that he strums once in a while |

A lot of the guitar playing this week was faked - most of the time he did not even bother to try and fake it - especially with the 2nd song.
He should either play or not .... not just strum an occasional note Better still ... leave the guitar off stage. |

There's more, and in more detail if you read through the last few pages. I don't mean to be sharp with you, but please take the time to do so.

I have not said he cannot actually play the guitar, only have stated how people viewing at home are seeing this .... not all people even watch ITV2 - I only watched a few mins of it myself for the first time last Saturday. Most people at home do not know nor care about the technicalities ..... its just the overall impression of fakeness that Tabby is showing. He was not in the bottom 2 for nothing .... |

Most people don't pick up on which parts Tabby does and doesn't play live (there's a mix) and couldn't care anyway. But in a discussion of his live playing (and so by your own token "fakeness") I felt it should be pointed out what is almost certainly going on with his guitaring. |

Personally the voting has confused me most of the way through. I can seen nothing appealing about Steve - especially the second song he did this week, and yet he was safe. Rowetta seemed the performer of the week this week (which for me she hasn't been before) and yet she went.

Histeria, these people don't listen. everyweek they say the same things, its getting boring. Tabby is in the last 3 and they are now running out of ideas to try and stop people voting for him.
thanks for clearing up the mess, i have tried to explain it for weeks but i didn't have the correct terminology as i don't play the guitar, but i listen to a lot of live music and can tell when it is live or not. those people who are certain he never plays live, obviously don't listen to a lot of live music, they are probably big backstreet boys fans. |

Some of this thread has really made me smile, I don't think the voting public really gives a stuff if he plays live or not, I am not the greatest Tabby fan, I like him but my daughter loves him to bits she is 13 and really impressed with the guitar!!! she doesn't give a hoot if he is playing or not. What Tabby does have though is showmanship, if that involves a guitar so be it!Allie |

Maybe it is indeed the early teenies that are Tabby's real audience.
Young girls obviously like him and as you say, love the guitar for what it is regardless of whether its being played or not. |
