Wow! Thats a unique style. I dont think thats ever been done before. It generates such nice sounds. He also got some bongo's on there aswell

[Dale71]

Wow, thats amazing probably is the 1st time It's been before, the amount of skill you need to pull that off is herroundous.

The sounds really really good, my brother said that it must be an electric acustik but I'm not convinced I just think he has skill ;P

[Ben]

Thats a better one of his style. It's called Airtap!

Also, I don't think he needs it to be electric, only to amplify the sound. His strings must be further than normal from the fret board, to be able to play harmonics by tapping the strings.

He can't be deaf. It says on his site he learnt to play by ear...

Harmonics like that .. amazing.. Lol I go down and only have one fret I can play them on.. Also there is an amplifier in his acustic guitar.. Or atleast I thought i saw it.. Im still pretty much a noob at guitar.. can read the musin and play but only with a pic and nothing to amazing... His style is very unique indeeed.

Like that guy who sings a song I wanna be rich and hes a one man band.. kinda.. lol.

Note to self: Never show this to my dad. He'll just try to get me to play EXACTLY like that. *sob* My poor fingers
