    Adam looks like he's writing the next Killswitch record in his head while he's playing this.

    -"Hope you don't mind"
    Adam saw the chance, and he took it.

      he's not bored...its just that when you're playing to your own song and on camera its kind of difficult to decide how you want to "appear" while you're playing. Do you want to look enthusiastic and dance around to your own song or do you want to look a little serious and not as expressive while you're playing. And also they're trying to play it perfectly for this playthrough so that's probably his "focus face."

    I see a lot of covers here on TH-cam that a few kats are playing your music to on their guitar. Honestly, some of them are actually pretty damn good!
