It's a young guitarist, Erik Mongrain. Pretty interesting technique.

1. Wow, that was cool!

I wish I were that good at playing guitar the regular way. :P

[Orsino]

2. Jesus.

What's next? Blowing through it?

That's beautiful music. According to the guitarist's site, the song really is called "Air Tap!"

[quip]

3. Cool, but not a cool way to "hold" the guitar. Check out the best of both:

4. Very cool

[eyepaddle]

6. I think they're both pretty sweet, I'm gonna play like that too--right after

I get my second brain installed!

What d'ya think the odds are that they are both really good pianists too?

7. I wouldn't be surprised.

8. And don't forget Preston Reed.

I first saw this guy in a TEENY club about 20 years ago. Freaking amazing.

13. Anyone familiar with Adrian Legg?

He's another amazing guitarist. He has a few things on youtube, but they don't do his playing justice. I saw him live and he blew me away. If you close your eyes, you'd swear three guitarists were on stage.

15. here are 2 guys I like together

while not as "unusual" as upthread, Jesse Cook ALWAYS makes me smile, and 15 yr old Corey Heuvel is with him on this one.

:hi:
