Yes that is fantastic piece of work and the true beauty is that he's not shredding he's playing nice coherent melodic piece and not simply loads of fast crap.

I dunno, I thought it was a little busy. Still, I like it a lot more than shredders.

But my preference when it comes to acoustic virtuosos is Michael Hedges. Justin King is cool and all, but Michael Hedges is the main influence of all these new acoustic tap and slappers. Aerial Boundries is a pretty sweet album.

It had more depth than shredding, but it was hardly a coherent melodic piece. It was a rhythmic and harmonic piece if anything.

This is the aforementioned Larrivee Guitar clip. They are some of the best acoustic guitars in the world as far as construction and tone. Kind of like the Ritters of the acoustic guitar world.

It's pretty funky and he slaps in the beginning.

Right Here

That guy should just buy a Chapman stick. It would make more sense since he can't play the top neck by itself. I prefer Chapman stuff as it uses actual bass and guitar on one instrument rather than the bass strings of a guitar.

That would tend to limit his "normal" playing. While the guy's adept at slap-n-tap style acoustic, he's also great with conventional techniques.

Check this out. The chapman stick. It's a pretty cool instrument, because it's bass and guitar at the same time.

Smed's awesome, but this thread is more about guitarists....for some reason
I like Adam Fulara. I never heard anyone get tone like that from a guitar, and tapping like that just blows my mind. He might as well be playing a piano!
