Jeff Healey style... technically.
Nice!
Sustain for days.
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
Thumbs Carlisle style, actually (Thumbs was laying the guitar in his lap and fretting over the fingerboard decades before anyone had head of Jeff Healey).Originally Posted by Zeuhlmate
Damn straight
Great video. Beautiful playing.
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
Indeed!
He appears to be blind like Jeff too.
I heard a guy in Hawaii (Oahu, actually) that was blind and played with the guitar in his lap like that too. He was also really good, wish I could remember his name. He was playing in a duo with another guitar player at an outdoor bar/restaurant and both of them sang. Though they were playing pop, he snuck some jazz in there, always in a very tasteful way. I told him that I could tell he plays jazz and he said, "I try to."I bought (what I thought was) their album, but it was really the other guy's project and the blind guy was only on a couple of tracks. I should dig it out, find the guy's name and see if he has any vids on YT. Until then, you'll just have to take my word; he was really good!
That's Pete Jones of Tiger Moth Tales. Check out his/their albums on Bandcamp:

He's also done several Genesis covers which you should be able to find on Youtube, including More Fool Me and Musical Box on guitar and (I think) Guide Vocal/Firth of Fifth on piano.
