Solo guitarist James Blackshaw has released fantastic records on Digitalis and Important Records, his new album, The Cloud of Unknowing is available now. We had a rare opportunity to talk with James about influences, goals, and other things but the music itself makes this video worth it. Blackshaw is someone to watch: he's a fantastic guitarist with years of development ahead of him.
Such awesome focus and humility. James, you are truly affecting the musical gene pool!

Thanks for this. I heard this cat on the NPR program, Echoes, tonight and I'm glad to be able to view his technique. Excellent fingerpicking coupled with ambiance fantastique!
