[200StringGuitar]

This is the only guy I've seen who uses stupid amounts of technicallity, but still has soul and emotion.

[DrDread]

@200StringGuitar Well said, 100% spot on

[jasspie]

damn I really love his fingerstyle-style:P. Does anyone know similiar artists playing this kind of fingerpicking??? And I don't mean the newage guys like andy mckee or don ross.

The only one I know is pierre bensusan tough I still think his fingerpicking is quite different from justins (more celtic).

[DrDread]

@jasspie Pierre Bensusan has a mesmerising and unique fingerstyle technique partly borrowed from traditional classical and flamenco style. He plays exclusively in DADGAD (on a Lowden too), check out the live versions of Wu Wei and Nice Feeling.

I've been a Lowden player since 1998. Le Bleu was recorded on a Lowden. This particular guitar was one I handpicked the wood for at the Lowden factory in Ireland in 2000--that was a cool day.

[tobto1]

Spoiler: At the end the ship is sinking and Jack Dawson (L.Dicaprio) dies.

[lanimari24]

I'm in love.

[raghornhs]

@jasspie Billy McLaughlin plays a similar style and a few years back had to re-learn the guitar by switching from right to left hand playing. There is a video here that details what happened to him and why he was forced to make the switch.

@200StringGuitar Victor Wooten

[StartSelect1]

If I had a wife, I would let you finger her. Just saying.

[DpsBot]

@jasspie What about Don Alder watch?v=-vocEYP0NsI or John Doan watch?v=eSypqOGqH38

Either way, I respect all these people as brilliant musicians for their technicality and passion.

[Rattlehead15]

@200StringGuitar Fairly redundant statement really.......

[charliee17]

...and in the background someone suddenly yells........"FREEBIRD!!!!!"
