Justin King

OK, I've seen and heard some amazing things involving a guitar, but I've never seen anyone tap like this before.
This guy just amazes me. Not only is the technique insane, but he manages to use it to make some beautiful music, it's not just crazy senseless soloing.

Lemme know what you think.

Any of those are crazy, I especially like the song "Knock On Wood" and one of the solos (the one that came from the end of a video, there's credits rolling as he plays). AND the one where he's wearing a black shirt & tie.

I'm not really crazy about his band, but his solos & instrumentals are awesome. The band is OK, just a little too "pop" for me.

I can't see these videos at work......but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess this isn't the same Justin King I grew up with....

Not unless you grew up in Canada.

Isn't this guy from Oregon? Eh, anyway, he's awesome.

Hey - you're right. He's still frickin awesome. I want to be Justin King when I grow up.

Hey guys, just found another great guitar tapper with a fairly unusual technique.
Check it out
Different then King's style, he lays it down like a lap-steel guitar, but his use of harmonics is beautiful.
