Excellent! I agree strongly that it should be 'fingerpicking' videos! (Also agree that it should only be a link to public domain videos.)
Maybe also 'fingerstyle'; 'chord melody' ; 'carter style'; songs arranged for 'solo guitar'; 'classical guitar' (including classical tremolo); or 'strum style that incorporates melody'; 'diads (power chords) with melody added & accentuated on the top'; or any other style of guitar playing which has melody as it's focus.
Because there is nothing better when there is just one person playing one guitar, than hearing
melody & accompaniment played at the same time, however it is done.
Unless of course the performer is singing. Well that's my opinion anyway & I'm sticking to it unless I get paid lots of money.
Do you know of any other styles of solo guitar playing that I missed in the above list? Have you seen any cool videos that you can put a link to? Has anyone seen (or got) the Edgar Cruz 'Crazy...' video above?
(I have got heaps to work on at the moment, but down the track I would be tempted to buy it just for that song.)
