Amazing acoustic guitar videos
Anyone ever heard of Trace Bundy, the Acoustic Ninja? This guy is awesome - he uses a ton of cool techniques like tapping, harmonics, percussion, multiple capos, etc. He's definitely the best guitarist I've ever seen live. He plays a Taylor too. Here are some of his videos from his website:
Dueling Ninjas: http://www.tracebundy.com/trace_data...lingNinjas.wmv Hot Capo Stew: http://www.tracebundy.com/trace_data...apo%20Stew.wmv Canon: http://www.tracebundy.com/trace_data/videos/Canon.wmv Patanga: http://www.tracebundy.com/trace_data/videos/Patanga.wmv Urban Challenge: http://www.tracebundy.com/trace_data...0Challenge.wmv Very cool. His DVD is awesome. (I don't know if I posted this in the right spot or not. If not, feel free to move it)

I just started playing a year ago and that guy makes me want to put down my guitar, lest I think I'll never been 1/2 as good as his middle finger is Simply awesome. I'm going to order his DVD's next week. Thanks for the link!

Just practice tapping 10 minutes a day, 3 days per week. A highly amplified guitar, scales, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and two handed tapping is his secret. There's also a couple of other guitars in the mix. Better Better Better . |

Yeah, I think Fngrstyl is right, it's a 714ce. You are also right that the CD from the CD/DVD combo is awesome. I listen to it all the time. His DVD has some pretty funny special features on it though - like ninjas fighting in the background during his song "Acoustic Ninja".
He has a newer song that he played at his concert where he moves the capos around as he plays, throughout the song. I've never seen anything like it. Very fun. This song is pretty cool too: http://www.tracebundy.com/trace_data...s/Trespass.wmv I got his CD/DVD off of his website. I received it in like 3 days.

I think he uses a looper on that last one. Cool stuff.
His gain must be set high which is why he has that feedback buster in the sound hole.

I learned some of these techniques when I was imitating Michael Hedges, and I've written a couple of pieces that are all tapping like that. I decided not to record them, though, because it's just doesn't feel like "me" . . . it always makes me feel like I'm trying to be Hedges, or Preston Reed, etc. I like watching and listening to players like that, though. |

I just got my looper a couple weeks ago and didn't even think of the tapping thing, though I have 2 tunes I do that on. (Not as well of course). Still say there is a feedback buster, just like mine as a matter of fact. But I will admit I was wrong once, back in '87 on a Tuesday morning around 10:37. I had the Flu and it was snowing.
