I'm betting some of you have seen this dude's video on youtube "Drifting." I finally splurged and bought his CD. It's awesome. I've always loved acoustic guitar, and when you add that soft percussion in there...<3

Andy McKee, ladies and gents. Check him out.

As a total sidenote--Barb, you do acoustic guitar, right? Ever make any CD's?

Wow. Both of those are so cool. It's so awesome and interesting when you see someone approaching/playing such a common instrument in a totally unconventional, new way, and producing something as cool as this. I mean, I would've thought that I knew how someone was supposed to play a guitar.

It's taking what's "proper" and being like, screw this. I can play this my way, and it sounds damn awesome. That makes me happy. Smile

KEZ! I didn't know ANYONE else who knew of Andy! I bought his "Art of Motion" cd a year or so ago and I LOVE it. His is a wonderful style.

Heck, all of the videos submitted by candyrat.com are fantastic. I also bought Robert Taylor's "Rabid Petting Zoo"--so strange, but so good.
