Are you the same person giving the lesson in this video as the person now using this account and making a bad show of the Atheist faith at the youtube video titled:

Dr. William Lane Craig humiliates Dr. John Shook

@mcmanustony i saw you at the guitar workshop in oakville ontario last summer :p you were amazing, i became a huge fan at that moment, would love to see you play again sometime :)

@mcmanustony Hey Tony,leave that guy "musik102" be.There are lots of guys just judging what the others do while they do nothing.This one is propably unsuccesfull guitarist frustrated by his awful playing and tone and needs to piss you up.

I love your playing.I've been searching for an accoustic guitar player with long fingernails(cause I also have) and I finally found you,checked out all your vids on youtube and I'm impressed.Are you planning to play in Slovakia some day?

[omgzitsmilk]

I have to admit that I have never seen such amazing hand work but your not much of a speaker are ya?:)

[brucefetter]

Thanks so much for this. What an inspiration!

Hey Musik102: go lie down.

Thanks for beautiful music Tony!  Saw you once in Rosendale, NY.

I have been searching for 2 weeks for this type of guitar playing. I have been nothing but a rhythm guitarist, and just recently started to expand the variety of my playing. I have to say that after watching videos of Tony, it convinced me to start trying to learn this style. Because it's exactly what I have been looking for.

Who cares what others have done before him. He is doing something completely different on guitar. I applaud Tony for what he does, cause the music works.

@musik102 Classical/Flamenco players have been perfecting a technique for hundreds of years on instruments with gut and then nylon strings. I think something that's often overlooked is the fact that the steel string guitar works differently. The methods of playing an instrument as versatile as the guitar haven't structurally developed to a "point of perfection" over the years, as you think they have, the methods have evolved, changed and adapted to the music that was being played at the time
