What I couldn't help noticing - besides how good the guy is - is how
the most screwed up left hand can keep up with the fastest right hand.
It kind shows that, in terms of playing fast scales, it is almost never
about the left hand. I think the typical left hand can go 180mm -
200mm right out of the box, especially if it is taught correctly (which
it rarely is).

I think you are right, which is why the orthodox way to play, developed
over hundreds of years, is to use the stronger hand for the hardest
part of playing the guitar. It takes very little time, even after
having not played for more than a week, to get my left hand back to
it's best shape. Picking is another story and requires practice, and
checking with the metronome to see if I'm not really kidding myself
about where I stand.

On the other side of the coin is the fact that a person could make a
good living if they just developed a good right hand. Supposed you
walked into a hotel to audition and you whipped off a flawless and fast
version of RDLA, Leyenda, VL Etude #1, and a couple of easy falmenco
tunes with blistering scales. None of these require a left hand and
you'd probably beat out the competition.

I got beat out once by a guy who played pick style on the classical
guitar and his wife accompanied him on the electric piano. The only
thing he could do was play fast scales with a pick - his arrangments
were terrible. He played with the sophistication of someone who just
finsihed 4 or 5 Mel Bay pick style books (which I believe is what he
did)

RDLA doesn't require a LH?

Getting gigs is rarely about your musical abilities. If his wife looks
good in a cocktail dress, you never stood a chance.
