I don't think this has been posted before - but I'm probably wrong!

I enjoyed watching that.
To get the most out of it you need to see Guitarist mags acoustic fingerstyle special - Spring 2015 - in which there are transcriptions for the pieces played. I had a flick through this in Smith's the other day where it was still available, along with the new Summer acoustic folk special issue.
Both worth a least a glance, but at £6 apiece, not cheap.

Really enjoyed that thanks. I keep a guitar in CGCGCE so dropped the E to D capo on the 5th and have just had an inspiring hour.

CGCGCD is a great tuning I think — now try dropping the 3rd string G to F!

Very nice link Leo - thanks! The Spring Issue of Guitarist Acoustic mentioned by Keith is flagged as not available on the publishers website. Mark

Really interesting. Good to see huckleberry's Wolfram slide get a plug - almost turned off at the banjo though, but glad I stuck with it for the last couple of minutes where those banjo techniques sounded amazing on the guitar. Sad to see the Sobell locked in a case, but the PRSs are pretty impressive. Jonny

Yes, a great video. And it's always fantastic to hear a Wolfram slide being played by someone who really knows what they're doing!
Cheers, David
