This is Elektro Kevin playing guitar:
I'm no judge but I think he plays very nicely, keeps his wrists straight and all that. The Jack Daniels bottle on table and the orang utan* on the couch are nice touches.
* Her Indoors informs me that 'orang utan' means 'jungle people'.

Enjoyed the EK guitar video; good song, and like so much of the output of rock / heavy metal bands, surprisingly elegant when transferred to acoustic guitar. Which says at least as much for the instrument as the songwriting, I suppose.
I had thought Orang Utan meant "old man in the woods" in Malay.
I suppose a native speaker knows better though.

OP, she's a native Malay speaker, not a native English speaker, which is where a problem might arise...
I suspect that "woods", like the expression "rain forest", is more PC than "jungle".
if I may paraphrase
So are you moonlighting for the Grauniad, the BBC, or (lately) The Tegrelaph? I think we should be told.... :-)
