The backup singer who takes his guitar (around 2:00) doesn’t seem to know what to do with it… starts fidding with it, then puts it down, then picks it up and straps in.
Then, after she’s strapped in, she pretends to play. I’m not surprised that someone would pretend, but I am surprised at how badly some people pretend, not even shifting the fret hand around for different chords.
I recently saw Jimmy Buffet himself – who presumably has played guitar for decades – on stage pretending to play his guitar, and was staggered by how badly he pretended. He strummed it not even remotely in time with the music. It actually made me feel a bit sad, he must be losing some serious marbles, and I’m astonished that his handlers would have thought it’d be a good idea.
