This guy's good....I love to see such young talent....he reminds me a little of Pat Metheny if only in his touch and approach.

Thanks for posting.

[EggsAckley]

I like! I like!

[fwdude]

The guy seems to have potential, but a lot of his playing just sounded like random "jamming." I'd love to hear him play a unified, coherent piece.

Or maybe I just don't like or understand this style of music. Still, I hear a little Phil Keaggy in his playing.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Incredible. Absolutely outstanding. Thanks for sharing.

[Blind Eye Jones]

Reminds me of Michael Hedges with the tapping and open chord tuning. He seems very young and does with such ease but watching his face is as interesting as watching him play — very expressive.

[PGalt]

BRAVO! OUTSTANDING! (thanks for posting)

[GeronL]

could we have a bit more info?? name?

[supremedoctrine]

THis guy is obviously Indian, and though I only watche a minute of this, it’s clear he’s playing it on the guitar
EXACTLY the way he would play it on a sitar.
I would bet he plays sitar also.
He manages to make the guitar, the minute I heard
of it, sound VERY much like a sitar.

[Electric Graffiti]

Incredible!!

The best finger style acoustic guitar player IMO is Tommy Emmanuel. This video is him playing Guitar Boogie

Very, very nice. This is the genius of Youtube: we get to hear incredible performances by artists who in the past would have played magnificently in obscurity to four walls and a few friends. I hear echoes of Don Ross in this piece.

[tsomer]

Thanks for the link!

Ravi Shankar meets Leo Kotke.

Is that the Taylor’s new pickup system? It’s crystaline and I wonder if that style would sound like that on any other guitar/pickup system.

Not that he’d sound bad. But what he’s doing here exploits all of what the instrument is capable of doing.

You like flamenco? This is Melchoir de Marchena:

Here’s the same Taranta by Paco Cepero:

It’s interesting: the gypsy s are believed to have originated in India, and the Raga time signature influenced the 12/8 time signature of flamenco.

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

He was playing SO well....until that Michael Hedges elevator music. Do your own thing, Kid. Its beautiful.

[silverleaf]

thanks

[mysterio]

Loved it.

[texas booster]

I still love the playing of Phil Keaggy:

[supremedoctrine]

Looks like I was wrong. He is apparently Iranian, and works out of Toronto. Unmistakably, though, the opening sounds from that guitar were very much reminiscent of a Ravi Shankar raga.

[free_life]

You got to wait for the last half for guitar solo, but it is worth it...Atlantic Rhythm Section guitarist Steve Stone (I think not Barry Bailey)??

Wish I could find his “Town Without Pity”, it is amazing!
