There you go - thinking again.
Don't do that!

Wow—I'm not sure I've ever seen anything quite like that!  Just wow!  When I saw the slide I thought it was going to be blues (boring! To me), so I'm glad I watched it.  I'll have to go back to that and really try and understand what all he did there. 

Oh yeah, nice guitar too!  It sounds all-around very "new."  It'll be a beast with some years and play-time on it.

I'm being picky (sorry) but I couldn't help but wonder if the tone and attack he has on this track is largely due to his metal fingerpicks. Yikes, a tad too brittle for my ears, but still amazing. Me with the corner of my nail with partial skin could never get close to that sharp an attack.  Spectacular playing and technique which makes me want to burn all my guitars in despair . . .   :thumb

I have to agree with this comment on tone. I don't know if this video was to feature the player or the guitar, but I have to assume the player. It kind of reminded me of these recordings of classical guitar where the guitar sounds so much bigger than it is capable of sounding. The only time I ever got that sound on classical guitar was when I played in a cathedral where I got that big echo effect.
