Face the Fax Elevate to Legendary Heights

 This shot features the guitar player of Face the Fax demonstrating a guitar jump technique where he tucks his knees as much as possible to bring himself 4 feet off of the ground.

Double guitar jump where both Face The Fax guitar players are levitating at soaring heights.  A jump like this can usually only occur if there is a noticeable break or tempo change in the song, or if the guitarists are continuously jumping like kangaroos in a rage.  The guitar player on the left is using a straight-leg method, while the one on the right is contrasting this with a cross-leg style.

Sumeet Barai Pulling Many Olympic Level High Jumps at a UT campus show

During his days with the MoFoBees, Barai was known for spending as much time jumping in the air as he did with his feet on the stage. While some considered this to be pure lunacy or insanity, Barai had perfected an art form and the air was his medium as he flew through it. His legendary guitar acrobatics were comparable to that of Pete Townshend among other greats.
