Another strange instrument! How do people learn to play these weird instruments?
I guess it's not weird to them??? My mind must be closed.
I have enough with Pedal Steel!

| No dampening behind the slide, that I could see. Why no chimy, echoey tone? |

He knows how to use fretboard picking pretty well. Here's the theme from "A Few Dollars More" https://youtu.be/OB_tVv18Zhw

This is a fabulous guitarist with an amazing mind. In another performance his tapping on a Mozart piece he makes the guitar take on the essence of a harpsichord at times.

i dont care for the tapping thing, but i do know a good musician when i see one! that was very cool.
any thoughts on whether he was playing all that live or just playing along with the pre record?
interesting large diameter strings on the bass of the acoustic.
the slide guitar thing was extremely innovative. i dont think i have ever seen anything like that. got to give him a lot of cool factor for that. |

I think I see some blocks of foam wedged under the non-speaking lengths of strings, just above the saddle. |

Truly remarkable.
I wonder, though...if this was the first guitarist I had ever seen when I was 12 years old, would I have wanted to learn to play? Probably would have just stuck with baseball, failed at it eventually, and become an accountant. |
