Are you all crazy?! There's nothing easy about anything he plays. These are custom instruments played by an absolute master! You can find his tunings, watch the videos, and still not be able to play these songs. There's a reason he's such a mentor to all the up-and-coming fingerstylists. Don't discount the prodigy he is, or the years of efforts to accomplish his unique style.
@StevenBoBeevin no itsactually true once you get the tuning down most of his songs are actually easier than they appear if you watch his dvd most of his techniques are simple to get the hand of it just looks impressive and sounds impressive not sayin that all his songs are easy but they are easier than they appear to be if you try them out you might even end up impressing yourself
