Amazing playing ... he's turned the guitar into a percussion instrument.

I do love a melody, though!

[bluesguy]

I have never seen anything like that before. Amazing.

[Jean]

He must have broken his drums! (Do you hear those "cymbals"), I must agree with Bluesguy, I have never seen anything like that before...

[Jason]

That is pretty high engery stuff.....he must have callouses on the front and backs of his fingers!

It is becoming more common in the last couple of years. Believe it or not, this guy is very laid back compared to some players I have seen beating their guitats.

[dora]

wow, that was really awesome, glad I found that, great video too, he's something else!!

[LittleFeat]

He plays alot like Keller Williams if any of you have heard him. He used to do some stuff with String Cheese Incident and has alot of solo stuff out. It's really pretty amazing. I wonder where that style origionated... Anyone know anything about its history?

[PickNGrin]

Slap guitar.......There is a woman named Kaki King that plays that style.

[dora]

i'd love to see her hands in action.

Re- Justin King, there is no doubt that he is a very cool player, but like Kirk I prefer melody. Michael Chapdelaine (world famous classical guitarist) incorporates some percussive techniques into his melodic fingerstyle arrangements of pop songs, check out his video of 'Come Together' @ http://www.michaelchapdelaine.com/.
