Hey guys.

In a recent eBay listing, the attached polaroid picture of Michael Jackson and Roger Troutman (of Zapp) was posted.

The seller states it was from the 'Smooth Criminal' recording session and it is clear that Roger is holding a guitar.

Now, in the 'Bad' album credits, Roger is thanked among a list of people who contributed to the album, but he isn't credited for anything in particular on any specific track.

I wonder if anyone could tell me whether the funky rhythm guitar breakdown towards the end of 'Smooth Criminal' is in fact Roger? It certainly sounds like his guitar playing to me.

This would be so awesome if someone could confirm this - and quite freaky to me because that part has always been my favorite part of the song, a long time before I even became a fan of Zapp/Roger.
