Yeah, that was my first thought too. It looks like the kind of effect that you get when you take a grinder to a piece of metal. I'd never heard of it...
I agree completely with dogbite! The guitar is such a humbling instrument (as I'm sure most instruments are). Some days I can pick, some I can strum...
