Sounds good. I've got a lot of acoustic guitar on my HD. I love this guy who plays down at Manly Corso some Sundays. His name is Peter Dickson (http://www.peterdickson.com/) and I've got all of his CDs.
This guy is pretty amazing as well:

Impossible guitar

This is the second most favourited vid on Youtube and the fourth most watched. Pachelbels Canon in D major, arranged as Canon Rock by Jerry C, performed by funtwo. He'd only been playing guitar for six years:

Still going strong,

Still got to claim the mando as my favourite, Grisman crosses so many genres. He normally plays an original Lloyd Loar F5, Im not sure what he is playing in this clip.

Peter Dickson (http://www.peterdickson.com/) Reminds me of Melbourne's own Stuart Box how used to play two Guitars at once Similar style to Peter.

Cool links, must admit I have seen them before, dontcha love YouTube!I sure do, but I must admit that I'm on a bit of a guilt trip at the moment.
After stumbling through a few more youtube videos, starting with those guitar pieces, I ended up watching a clip from David Attenborough. It was from one of his excellent nature specials, and right at the end, this came on the screen:


Here, on YouTube, many of the human species can be found procrastinating, when really, they have much more important and worthwhile things to be doing with their time. - David Attenborough.
In my case, he's dead right. :-

In my case, he's dead right.:D

Here's a couple of videos of an american guitar player by the name of Michael Hedges - just one man and his guitar.
Michael was tragically killed in a car accident, November 1997.
Enjoy.

I dont know whether to be envious or just ashamed at my lack of talent,

thx

Great links everyone. Gotta love talent.

I've just recently latched onto this bloke who calls himself Fretkillr (http://www.youtube.com/user/Fretkillr)

He plays and sings awesome, like.
Know one has ever seen his head and know one knows who he is, but he does provide excellent entertainment.

I highly recommend that you check him out.
