Tosin Abasi raping an 8 string. There are parts where I really wish he had an AM in there.... Really good stuff, surprised the hell out of me as it went on.

v.good albeit a little too much on the ears. stanley jordan the black new york jazzer pioneered this style of playing
in the 70's, most have never heard of him, probably because again it's a bit indulgent and as much a demonstration of talent at the event horizon of playing over song based music spiced with a few solos.
good post .

Wow ... simply just wow.
I now watched this over 5 times and am still not overly saturated by it  :)
The only thing that really puzzles me (more than the awesome demonstration of skill) is the angle at which his thumb bends!!

Impressive playing.

Don't really like it as music, but can definitely appreciate the playing as a guitar player.  Always good to hear new players though!
