A friend turned me onto this guy today. I think he might be the coolest acoustic guitarist I've ever heard.

Interesting, but nowhere near as good as John McLaughlin.

wasn't even attempting to even compare him to anyone - just that he is a supertalented musician, with a really fresh take on the instrument. McLoughlin IS fantastic.

Now this guy is QUITE inventive. Such trippy, outer-space sounds. Just a delay, a little reverb maybe... really fascinating.

Very cool! Did you mean Tommy? Or his bass player?

Glad ya dug it! I appreciate when any musician "thinks outside the box" and does something innovative.

I've seen him play live and it is a great show.

I didn't think it was possible to play a guitar like this.
