I can't get to it at work. CollegeHumor is blocked. Stupid government.

I'll see if I can't imbed it...no good...checking youtube...not as good quality, but here it is!

And while I'm at it...ladies and gentlemen, Andy McKee!

And a more familiar tune.

Man, this stuff is amazing. I wish I could play the guitar just because I'd be all over this sort of playing style, as percussion has always been my thing. Thanks for posting all this!

 

[masterofpuppets]

I was actually going to post some Andy Mckee when I started reading this. He's amazing.

And it's actually called drifting, not slapping.

 

[Moose]

The second one is drifting, yes...the first one I posted was slapping.

 

[RESPAWN]

Kind of reminds me of how you play a Chapman Stick. Random video for those who don't know what I mean:

SP-404 and Juno-G owns all of you.

Eat it.

 

[Moose]

Delrio, you wouldn't know what we're talking about. These are instruments that require talent to play. J/K bud.

Ya know, it kinda makes me wish I had a different talent from singing. I'm professionally and operatically trained, but almost everyone thinks they can sing who really CAN'T...so it kinda diverts away from those who truly do have the talent. It's impossible to fake talent like these guys, though...

When I first read this thread, I wondered if you were talking about Andy McKee. That dude is awesome, and in a way completely different from Gerry Phillips.

[Barlim]

Flippy, that took my breath away.

 

[Flippy the Squirrel]

Then this one will have you dancing in your seat.

[Moose]

Sounded like he added a synthesizer to his hands...lol

 

[A-Team]

loved it =D

 

[The Red Comet]

Those guitar vids were cool! I'm not sure how they'd play it like that, but whatever.

I've seen that guy before, the ones Flippy posted. Hilarious stuff, but I find it gets annoying halfway through the first vid.

 

[Moose]

Yeah...there are only so many times you can hear hand farts before it gets old.

 

[Near]

awesome!!

 

[Moose]

Glad you guys enjoyed those...I'm going to go ahead and open up this thread...if you happen to find awesome guitar solos or neat little tricks like what I put up, feel free to post 'em.
