This guy needs to play the Chapman Stick, look it up if you aren't familiar with it. I bet he would really rock at it.

the majority of what i wrote was about how wonderful&beautiful it was, NOT how easy it was. there are always "tricks of the trade" for ANY virtuoso e.g. ultra light gauge strings, super low action, etc. The technique of slap/tap harmonics IS easy. i NEVER wrote that ANY of HIS use of this technique in this piece of music was.

i tried :) ... and failed miserably

i agree man .. do u think u know what strings and guitar he uses? if so, plz help me out over hear lol ..... as for the video, his talent is rly amazing and those tap harmonics are easy to get to but its doing them right that makes it sound good

I read online tht this guy gets his super natural talent by sniffing lumber jack's anus in his spare time.

we would really appreciate if you show us some of your virtuosity instead of just babbling about how easy it is.

go kill yourself. seriously this is the stupidest comment i've heard in a while.
darwinward (September 22, 2008 at 12:09 am)
awesome. but i'm more blown away by the sheer musicality&melody of it than his technique. he plays with total conviction. brilliant. but it may not be quite as tough as you think. tuning to a pretty chord, using some ultra light strings&having super low action, all help him a lot. slap/tap harmonix are fairly easy--at least on a basic level. no sour grapes here tho. i loved it: a mix of virtuosity&melody reminiscent of the great Michael Hedges (RIP).

I'll kill myself now. I play guitar and I'm jealous holy crap.

that's talent!

This is completely impossible to play on a keyboard you tool. He's using harmonics and hitting the body like a percussion instrument.

How about you do us all some good and use your keyboard to hit yourself in the face?
