Interesting and impressive.
But I can't take a steady diet of that kind of stuff.
For myself, a little goes a long way.

Andy Mckee has an amazing version of Africa by Toto on Youtube.

Check it out!

I got a subscription to this guy's stuff on YouTube. Listen to him sometimes...

I read people saying that they just wanna get rid of their guitars (and become a drummer) when they see/hear this dude...
For me, it just gives me something to strive towards.
[I don't even like Toto! Just to strive for a higher level... Y'know?]

I agree, seeing this stuff makes me want to play more, even though I'll never reach that level.

I'm not a big Toto fan either, but Africa sounds great the way he plays it. And it's a nice mixture of tappin & slappin and fingerstyle.

I remember this from the original youtube posts of performances. Interesting niche, of playing, and it gets your attention. He's very talented, but like others have said, you can only take so much. I guess that's the pitfalls of being raised on melody, structure and rythym.
