Maybe some of you know this since it isn't really new, but... you know. Yeah, there's already a youtube-thread over here, but this definitely deserves some extra pimpin':

Cool vid.

Tho, this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lir_-EbD ... ed&search= actually sounds like he's making listenable music instead of just percussive sounds.

Wow. Seriously... wow.


Indeed. :shock: It's cool to see some of the over-hand percussive players playing more melodic :P

Preston Reed

Cool. Thanks for the links! I love it when guitarists with such talent actually put that to use to compose genuine, melodic pieces.

That Preston Reed vid kinda bored me a little.. every time I see anyone tapping and knocking their guitar THAT much, I start thinking "play the thing or take up drumming!!"

Anyway, it's always a joy to see such talented people play so well.
