That's pretty amazing! When I first started watching it, I didn't see the teaspoon and I thought there must be somebody else in the background. Too cool.

Makes you wonder how he thought to do it the first time.

[Schermerberger]

yeah, that was a real treat. why compromise your frettin' hand when you can use a spoon in your mouth. just goes to show "there aint nothing to it but to do it" People told Stanley Jordan he cant play guitar like he does, and I guess he showed them. Thanks for the link.

[Schermerberger]

that Youtube is pretty amazing as well. You can find everything there. Stuff you want to see and alot you probably don't. But if you search under slide guitar, duolian, tricone, Kirk Lorange, and anything like that there is a whole slew of cool clips to inspire. I just was dwarfed again in my playing stature, but that's par for the course and good inspiration to practice more

I can just imagine one of those dopes on those talent shows ......

"You've got a good idea there Mister Coetzee, but you need to smile more as you play"

[OWEN.M]

That is so good simply amazed such talent

That's great, but where's the mic? - it's acoustic and in the middle of nowhere - how do they do that?

I use a fuji digital camera , carol m, and it has two movie settings..

One takes the film in a 300x200 resolution, the other in a 400x600 res.

When the lesser setting is used, the sound is of less quality, presumably because the
compression of the file is less, equating crappier sound.

I figure this guy was filmed by a pretty decent digital camera, by some tourist (originally)
and it has been upoaded and copied, and uploaded..and copied.

As to this guy's technique.. it is very interesting, in that I watched an interview with
an old 'knife man' once..
"Knife men" (ha ha) were guys that played with their pocket knife wedged between their fingers, presumably because they didn't have a decent bottleneck, or similar device. Robert Johnson was said to have played this way a few times...from my understanding.

I figure this guy didn't have a knife, so he used a spoon. I have used beer bottles, wrenches, sockets, pens, lighters, various hard surface non-permeable objects that possibly will deliver tone. Never tried a spoon. Maybe I should/\

His name is Hannes Coetzee & the video clip is taken from a documentary about African musicians.
