I really like this clip, it's of a guy named Justin King. He can play the hell out of a guitar, he's got a very unique style. Check it out.

That is mightily fuckig impressive. I even showed my dad (he has played guitar most of his life and digs Flamenco so I thought he may appreciate this too). How the hell do people get to that level? The only sad thing is that, like most of the greatest guitarists, he is not forming a band that is changing music forever.

Give me Joey anyday.

Thank you so much! Now I have two amazing clips! Man, he looks so young too! Makes me want to crawl in a hole. I am 32 and just started playing guitar. Why do I bother!

Though it might not change music forever (but how many bands do?) I like this song as well.

Talk about a one man band. He's got great rhythm, too. That sounds like Jimmy page and Joe Satriani jamming Primus' The Old Diamondback Sturgeon!!

My favourite guitarists include

Tuck Andress from the album Tears of Joy check his version of Wes Montgomery's Up and At It.

Martin Taylor if you can find a copy of In Concert where he plays I Got Rhythm, and it's just him...live.

The extraordinary, the late Lenny Breau. Any guitar player who doesn't own Live At Bourbon Street isn't serious about music.

Bireli Lagrene

Jimmy Bruno

Paco de Lucia

For pure technique Don Ross (who has accolades from Bruce Cockburn, a man who wrote the thickest book ever on open tunings, on his intro page.)

yup, sorry. I realized I came off kinda like a damp towel on the whole passionate vibe goin, so I smacked myself and made me go sit in a corner and think about what I'd done.


"comparing Interpol to Joy Division is like comparing a turd floating in a bathtub to a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier crossing the Atlantic. just one guy's opinion."

That is quite a nice song, though it does help to prove my statement.

No need for the corporal treatment apl, you can have (and express) any opinion you like, damp as it may be. In fact, I agree with you, to some degree. I think what he does is extremeley technically impressive, and boggle my mind difficulty wise, it's not something I would listen to as anything other than a novelty. That said, I think it sounds good. I mean, he's no Yngwie, but that was damn impressive...

Before you ladies fall too far in love with him just consider how rough with callouses his fingers and hands have to be. He'd brush his hand across your face and scar you for life!

You'll also never get to have sex because he'll be practicing for 10 hours every day.

I've never seen slap guitar before. Very cool technique.


Are you honest when no one's looking? Can you summon honey from a telephone? They sat there with their hooks in the water and their mustaches caked with airplane glue.
