    Stunning. Even my 14 yrd old was impressed (he's a budding guitarist) despite being a metal fan.

    That was truly amazing...!! Thanks for finding that. Takes me back to before I broke my wrist.. When I could actually play guitar.. Now I cannot, ever.. *Emotional strings*

    Not that I could play that well anyway

    That was pretty bloody impressive. Best cover of that song i've heard (of course most are utter shite)

    Not sure if I am doing this right but I love the African style of guitar. And this guy is just like his old man

    Very cool stuff.

    Actually Chisanga, I have an Ali Farke Toure and Ry Cooder album I've been thrashing lately. Nice to see his son's doing nicely too. I must hunt some down on the torrents.

    Thanks for the Stairway too Dave. That fellas got some mighty strong fingers. My fretless wonder's spoiled me for that kind of stuff on acoustics now... it hurts too much to try.

    First guy was awesome, the african guy though didn't sound very African, just an African jamming some very average blues based stuff. I love the ry cooder style music though. There's another guy in this mould who is worth a listen if this guy does it for you, I haven't listened to him in about 15 years but I *think* his name is Patrick Ubana Jones, do a search for him.

    If you are interested in an amazing guitarist that you've probably never heard of, I present to you Don Ross

    He has quite a few songs on Youtube, all of em great.

    There's some other guys I've seen on there too that are worth posting in this thread, I'll see if I can find em.

    Paul Ubana Jones is the name. He may even be a kiwi as I saw him a couple of time at high school in Gisborne. Simply amazing what he could do with a guitar, made all the more impressive seeing it live.

    stairway to heaven, beautiful song.. i love the original more than any covers... but still quite good I'm sure by the comments, i just dont want to listen to it in case it ruins the song for me .. lol...

    Jimmy Page is my idol, and will forever be my idol... i have the same birth day as him, and my guitars are my children... my life .. heh...

    I don't think it would be possible to ruin the original, it's a classic.

    You should take a listen to this cover, it is excellent. It is simply another way to appreciate the classic.
