There's nothing remotely impressive about this guy.

I do admit I was fooled when I first watched it, but soon afterwards I realised how he had accomplished his "hoax" guitar.

All he has done is tune his guitar to an open chord, simple as that.

Then all he does is hammeron frets and hit the occasional tap harmonic.

With the guitar tuned to an open chord it doesn't matter what combination of strings he holds down, as long as they are on the same fret it will sound like beautiful music.

This guy is just a talentless hack who was obviously inspired by the rock group "Presidents of the USA", famous for their track "Lump", who's guitar's consisted of only two strings which were tuned to a power chord.

He got his 15 minutes of fame (3 actually), but I wish I could get that 3 minutes of my life back.

notimpressive : It's still very intricate music. Slash from GNR tunes his guitar in ways that make it easier for him to play the solos, does that make him less awesome?

It was quite amazing talent! The chanting acoustic tone was really kewl.
This guy played the guitar as if it was a part of his body, but the camera-men shooted it like it was their art of zooming. I gave it a 5/5, and a "Zooming for Dummies" to the camera men. =)

Fuck corporatism, this guys should be out at the fore front of the music world with other undiscovered greats, the industry could only benefit if said corporations weren't so ignorant.

This guys guitar work is purely beautiful

HAHHAHAHA you're all so fs! Yes, its pretuned, but yes it still sounds "kewl". But NO, hes not some fuckin virtuoso. But yes he does have talent, more than most of us. That doesn't make him a GOD, & BTW neither is "Slash". But the video is something different, sounds OK, & we need more like this instead of the flood of Porn. 5/5...
