as a guitarist, i really can appreciate seeing someone do that to an instrument, especially with one with strings.The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

I agree, Scott. That dude is exceptional. I think the guitar is such a great instrument. I tried teaching myself how to play; however, because I've been playing piano since I was 8, my fingers just aren't able to bend that way. They bend to play the piano...not the guitar. Sucks, really.
As for this guy, he was awesome...especially the way he finished the song.

They played this on 94.7 the Arrow (D.C. classic rock station) last week. Pretty sweeeeet.

Good stuff... certainly changed my opinion of the ukulele.
You ever wanna check out somebody else who is just out of this world with the things he does with a guitar... check out blues man STANLEY JORDAN. He actually has warnings on his albums that there is only one guitarist playing DESPITE what you may hear. He bangs the fret board with the one hand and actually gets two totally distinct guitar lines out of the guitar... totally unbelievable... he does a version of Eleanor Rigby that is as 'light-speed' as that guy's version of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' was. His Stairway to Heaven version on 'Flying Home' is pretty ridiculous as well. I actually have his first couple of albums on... album... yes, vinyl... remember them big black discs?

Yeah that guy is awesome.
He is from Honlulu and sometimes puts on some free
shows in parks.
I saw him play once. He is also pretty funny.
