'Weird Al' Yankovic's First-Ever Guitar Solo Was Al-solutely Flawless

The parody king briefly swapped his accordion for a guitar.

Weird Al” Yankovic briefly traded his accordion for a guitar at the Apollo Theater in New York on Friday night. And while no one would call the parody king a one-note player, that’s exactly what he was for his live debut with the instrument.

During a cover of Neil Young’s “Cinnamon Girl,” Yankovic broke out the guitar to play the solo: a single note, repeated over and over again.

Check it out in the clip above.

Yankovic is currently in the middle of his Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour, which is focusing largely on his original music and pastiche tunes.
