I've played 12 string for many years off and on and cannot touch this young man in technique, style etc. Go Conrad. I am so happy to have discovered your music and videos. (Still wish you 'd allow embed though!

I bet his hands have that fretboard mapped out perfect. I feel bad for people without vision, it's an amazing gift, that everyone should be able to enjoy. However, I can't play my guitar like this, so I can say I'm jealous of Conrad.
