Another one off an album we cranked (a lot) in our youth! Nice guitar work Clarky. Twiddly bits and pieces ;-)

I'm not all that young Dennis, if my baldy head was in the video that would show my age. I had no idea twiddly bits was an English term or a musical term. I use it all the time :)

Twiddly Bits is an English slang term. From the word twiddly (sometimes spelled Twiddley); curly or decorative, esp. in an unnecessary way ^[1] and bit; a small piece or amount of something,^[1] a twiddly bit is anything that is relatively small and trifling or elaborately decorative.

Twiddly is a commonly used word in British English, as in Roald Dahl’s The BFG, where the giant’s large ears allow him to hear absolutely every single twiddly little thing.^[2] The term twiddly bit is applicable in almost any context and is commonly used to describe aspects of architecture, art, music, literature, fashion, etc.

Music

The term "Twiddly Bits" is commonly used in the music industry to describe a short improvised part that is technically advanced and/or musically interesting. In music, a Twiddly Bit is similar to a solo though it is typically shorter and lacks the structure typical of a solo, that is to say a beginning, middle and end. Rather it is short and sweet and can serve to fill space, act as a turnaround between parts, or as a substitute for a solo where a musician wants to show off but time does not allow for a full solo.

Darn.  I like Mr. Bean.  And the incognito playing thing.  Oh well.

Metal is cool! Lol Mr Bean, definitely not me, why Mr Bean?

I have learned to like a lot of metal from you Clarky and I kind of consider you a friend.  So.  I will ask you about a rumor circulating lately.  Just plain out and ask.  Are you really Mr. Bean?
