I discovered him a short while back. He's got plenty of covers under his belt and has way too much talent to not do some originals. At any rate, he's going to go far.

If I could play that well, I could see me playing for my family and friends.
They would say something like, “that’s nice” and walk away after a couple of minutes.

I don't know why that is but not everyone is impressed by the same things.

I've known people that didn't like listening to music period. That was/is difficult to comprehend.

It was interesting to read some of the comments on his channel like:
"I don't like fingerstyle guitar but I could listen to whatever he plays" etc.

I hope he does do some originals. Covers are so much more easily recognizable than original guitar music tho.

W.T.A.F.? This kid is really something. Of course, down I fell into the YouTube well (is that a lyric?) and watched a ton more of his arrangements. Listen to Toto's Africa and Washington/Withers Just The Two Of Us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMX7w-_h3k4

Wow, that is amazing, one of the most groovingest fingerstyle covers I've ever seen!

I do wish the sound of deliberately hitting the strings for a beat was nicer on guitars in general, though.
