Rhett Butler calls himself an "obsessive-compulsive guitarist." Whatever you choose to label him, the musician, famous for his unorthodox technique of playing two guitars at once, sure knows how to turn heads.
Like Joe Satriani's: the Chickenfoot and solo shredder recently posted the above video of Butler doing his double-guitar thing on the song Always With Me, Always With You (from Satch's 1987 album, Surfing With The Alien; the track was recently sampled on Nicki Minaj's Right Thru Me).
Satriani, a fan of most things wild and wacky, pays Butler perhaps the highest of compliments on his Facebook page, deeming the video "a bit insane."

Joe is a freelance journalist who has, over the past few decades, interviewed hundreds of guitarists for Guitar World, Guitar Player, MusicRadar and Classic Rock. He is also a former editor of Guitar World, contributing writer for Guitar Aficionado and VP of A&R for Island Records. He’s an enthusiastic guitarist, but he’s nowhere near the likes of the people he interviews. Surprisingly, his skills are more suited to the drums. If you need a drummer for your Beatles tribute band, look him up.
