Ok, I really don't know where to put this.. but have you seen or heard Black Snake Moan With Samuel Jackson Playing guitar and singing?
Pretty good picture if you like Jackson.. Some nice bluesy music... worth the time imho.. enjoyed seeing him get slicked back and pulling out his es-335... pretty neat... rent it..and enjoy it...

And he actually learned to play for this part...
So how natural was it to learn to play guitar and are you keeping it up?
SJ: Heck no. It was very daunting. I had to learn to do something that I was supposed to have been doing for a while and feels natural to me and not studied and practiced. I was lucky that my teachers let me find my own way to the music (http://www.contactmusic.com/new/home.nsf/webpages/samuelljacksonx22x05x07#). I am lucky that I play other instruments so my ear is pretty good. By the time I learned my way to walk across the frets and play chords, I knew I could listen to a song and pick my way and find the groove. I learned to play the songs (http://www.contactmusic.com/new/home.nsf/webpages/samuelljacksonx22x05x07#) in this odd kind of way that was just mine. When I visited those guys in the Delta, I saw that most of them didn't start learning till they were past 30 and they taught themselves so they each have their own unique style. I created this thing that was mine and that was kind of cool. As for my guitars, I actually have seven guitars. I got to the point of looking forward to waking up each morning and picking up the guitar and learning the songs and making my own style. I never used a pick. I just used my fingers.
