Who is Zack Kim anyway? Classical Guitarist? Nope. Composer for Film? Nah. How about viral marketeer! Almost all u-tube and the last one is really impressive. Many more where these came from.

My last 2 FPPs were very quickly and summarily deleted, so I thoroughly searched MeFi this time. Please FSM, not another double!!!!

Dude needs to get a chapman stick and be done with it.

I know I've seen plenty of this guy, and he's really boring to me. I mean what is he doing that can't be done with a piano? I guess you get slightly more flexability in the way notes sound, but man, in my eyes it just makes all "guitar wankery" seem less interesting.

Chapman stick, no shit.

Making guitar noises.

Indeed. Pitch bends, slides, etc. Much more inflection than a piano is capable of, with a wider variety of tones.

Well, a guitar does sound different than a piano, but limiting yourself to a tapping technique does reduce the range of guitar sounds significantly. I think the addition of tapping technique like this is nice for a variation but I think the extreme shown here is perhaps not ideal.

Uh, yeah guys. I'd just like to go on the record and say that the last video is fucking phenomenal. Thanks snsranch.
