Ewan Dobson!
Son of a (expletive deleted)ing (expletive deleted) on a (expletive deleted)ing pogo stick!!!!!
Whew!
I came across this video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXqPYte8tvc ]
How does he make an acoustic sound like that?!!??!?!??!???!??
After watching it about 15 times and checking out his myspace page [http://www.myspace.com/ewanguitar ] I decided to play “link-frog” ( it’s kinda like leapfrog ‘cept with links. Ya know one link leads me to another link leads me to another link and so forth.)
Well, my 2nd frog landed me here:
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTO5XdvXd1I&feature=relmfu]
I was stunned nearly unconscious by the harmonics around 1:47 into the tune and had he not repeated the part at around the 2:40 mark, I would still doubt that I had seen/heard it. Then this happened [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWOIMiqhlN0 ]
After about an hour of just this guy freaking I thought I should avoid having my head explode by listening to someone else.
Which led me to frog over to this guy:"Jimmy Wahlsteen - Rapid Eye Moment"[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97czMjuAnSA&NR=1 ].
So much for the head not exploding.
Then I noticed that both of these guys are on a label called Candyrat. [www.candyrat.com]
The amount of talent showcased by this label is PRODICULOUS!
Just load the Candyrat solo acoustic guitar playlist [http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=447B977301B3AB7D] and listen until u either have to stop to practice, stop to weep, or stop to apologize to your guitar for abusing up until now and not allowing it to live up to it's fullest potential.
It’s difficult to even write this posting whilst listening to this playlist because I want to tell u about everything; such as the "Don Ross - Crazy (Gnarls Barkley)" clip or the "Antoine Dufour - To Run in a Dream" clip where I'm almost positive that I saw the spirit of Michael Hedges dance and sing.
Each of the vids is worth the listen.
In fact I'm going to go back to listening now.
Enjoy…
ps - THANK YOU CANDYRAT!
