One reason why I've never been in a band that plays covers is my inability to play the Here Comes You Man riff.

I seem to recall reading that Stéphane Grappelli asked Django why they need three guitarists in Quintette du Hot Club de France and was told that when he (Grappelli) was soloing, Django was playing but when Django was soloing there'd only be two.
