Actually, that IS me!
OK OK OK ... yeah yeah. But I actually love watching videos like this because I find it amazing to think about the influence of guitarrists such as Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Joe Satriani, etc etc etc and watch what unknown guitarrists do to personalize the techniques of the masters.

[elitist snob mode]Yeah, it's definitely cool, but this guy's a wannabe, IMO. The way I hear it, Michael Hedges (R.I.P.) gets all of the credit for this style of acoustic playing:[/elitist snob mode]

Well YEAH... but this guy is in a guitar store.... and hell... who wouldn't want to be Hedges???? But if he was just sitting in a guitar shop riffing, like I wish I could, that would just be sad!
All of that assuming Hedges was still alive of course!

While I love Michael Hedges, I wouldn't want to be him so long as he insists on being deceased!

ALL OF THAT ASSUMING HE WAS STILL ALIVE!!!!
read it
Fine!!! Here is a HUGELY underrated guitarist who is simply stunning in his subtlty... I offer proof and I am fairly certain Bruce is Alive and Kicking (as SImple Minds would say)
Granted I am sticking my neck out here but I find some of his material to be reminiscent of David Gilmour's work... I know it is a long song but hang in there and check out some of the gtr near the end!
