Ya I know, I'm propogating viral advertising, but this guy uses a guitar in ways I've never seen before.

Yeah, he rocks... I've seen other videos as well, the music itself that he plays is really awesome. :D I'd see him perform if he ever came to So Cal. He actually just came out on a late night tv show... Late Night on CBS, I think. I can't remember.

Wow, don't think I've ever seen anyone slap strings on an acoustic 6-string.
Very awesome.

Anyone ever heard Monte Montgomery?

Re: Andy Mckee

No. I'll look him up at home later though.

Re: Andy Mckee

I saw this video before and I was very impressed. It's always nice to see someone playing a different style and make it sound good.

Re: Andy Mckee

Andy McKee is great! I discovered his videos a couple months ago. Probably one of the best new slap guitarists in the world.

Re: Andy Mckee

Speaking of great guitar players, here's a guy who makes all my (super-skilled) guitar player friends collectively crap themselves. Personally, I love the guy's voice. His name's Richard Thompson, don't know how well known he is. Anyway, worth checking out as well.

Monte Montgomery, good cover.

The video cuts b/w segments too much, but you get the point, I'll look for a better version.

Can't believe we can talk about Andy McKee without providing a link to his amazing rendition of "Africa" by Toto.

Re: Andy Mckee

Haha, in every video we've posted here, these guys are all playing with a caipo. I guess if you want to take it to the next-next level, clip that caipo on now!
