| . . . take a look at this guy's stuff.

Not sure if I mentioned him here before, but he's worth a re-mention if I did. I get the impression he's not a pro, just some guy who's good at this.
Real good. |

| Bravo - he's an amazing talent (a gift no doubt honed by hundreds and hundreds of hours of practicing). Interesting to see how he's "matured" physically and musically over the past 2 years. But having the right tools helps a lot. His long, graceful fingers are wonderfully suited for his art. Some of us have fingers half as long and twice as wide which just can't reach to do some of those amazing things he does with his left hand. |

Location: Flahdaw | I was on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas ship, and there was a guitar player who just played instrumentals like this. I wish he would put some stuff on youtube....as good as this guy is, the guy on the ship was better. You could sit in the bar all night and just listen to him play and think, I'll never be that good. |

| Cruise ship gig, huh? Becoming a solo fingerstyle guitarist, it seems, is not the way to marry a supermodel and live on a walled estate. |

Location: Flahdaw | Well, the guy looked like he was from Central or South America and, not to generalize, but it was probably the best gig he's ever had. Don't know if he was happy, but he was good. |
