There's busking, and then there's BUSKING!

I've stopped to listen to plenty of street musicians, but this guy definitely elevates the game a bit.

Okay, now I'm envious.

There is a kid down the hall from me who can play that song, with all the little embellishments, on his acoustic.
I'm jealous of him too.

Bueno !

You probably walk past guys like this every day. They just don't have their guitars with them.

Thanks for sharing Patch. I've got a guitar that sounds just as good as that, but it sure don't sound that way when I'm playing it... his guitar looks like a Strat, but maybe No? The other day, I heard a guy play "Highway Star" on an acoustic...w/ Ritchie Blackmore's solos and everything, boppin' the top of his soundboard and keepin' rhythm at the same time! He was pretty fabulous too.
