I am very confused. Tonight it almost looked like he was really playing... I think he might have been reading this and has practiced how to make it look more real?

He's using a wireless transmitter system, just a bit larget than a packet of fags. You can't see very clearly where its plugged in because on the Les Paul model guitar he uses the input socket is on the edge and it's probably plugged in with a right angled patch cord, so the cable jack won't stick out much. The particular guitar he used tonight (and on several other occasions) is a copy of Zakk Wylde's 'bullseye' Les Paul and has EMG pickups and active tone circuits which give it a very distictive tone. It was definately him playing that guitar, live on the show. |

I wondered where you were. Have a read of wicker man's post, you might learn something.

As he's primarily demonstrating his vocal talents, and not his rhythm guitar abilities, you won't see him "strumming along" as some people seem to expect. However, from what I've seen of his lead guitar playing, he appears to be pretty talented in that department too.

He had it looking better tonight but since he already showed how badly he can do it find it hard to believe he was playing tonight. |

After reading all the posts in here I think that the general concensus and the democratic judgement is that Tabby doesn't play the guitar...
IT'S OFFICIAL!! |

I have no reason to be biased because I'm not a follower of this show and couldn't care who won. My husband is even less of a fan as he scoffs at RTV acts because he says they are not real musicians but even he said that Tabby was good and that he definitely showed he has excellent guitar skills. |

I think you are all missing the point here. It is not whether he is playing the guitar or not but SO WHAT!
It is a sad indictment that in a modern arena for musicians to prove their worth we argue if they are playing an instrument. Isn't that what musicians do? So why is it so great if he does ply, that is what he is trying to do as his trade. You don't get people hiring an electrician to rewire their house and say, wow this guy was great he actually did some of the electrical work himself, live!! (Or maybe earth or neutral) From what I have seen even if he is playing it is very little and quite unimpressive anyway, something any guitarist with a little experience could master. As for him being a lead singer, do you not need a band to qualify for that position? Never heard of a lead singer fronting a solo act before. |

What would have been proof to everyone, is that bit in the middle where guitar is played and no singing ..... the camera should have let us viewers seen that close up
But what happened ..... the camera angle (both times) was showing Tabby from behind ..... I don't think anybody is disputing that he can play some guitar, but probably not that good ..... |
