You're at a cookout/BBQ, impressing the ladies with you rendition of kumbaya on the acoustic guitar... and this guy come along. Face it - you are going home alone.

It shouldn't be possible to play trance music on a guitar, yet here were are.[clap]

That is pretty impressive playing, but get that guy with a true acoustic guitar and you'd be underwhelmed. The rhythm of the song he's playing is timed perfectly with the delay algorithm of the processing unit he's playing through which is giving the song all the depth you're hearing. He's also using a shit-ton of reverb.
I have no idea what DRKWNG said but I think it's cool [thumbsup]
;D

He does okay on his own, too.

Every word you've used is English, or at least appears so. Yet other than the first sentence, I am completely out of my depth. [laugh] [thumbsup]

Indeed - my GF introduced me to them last year and we managed to catch them at the end of the summer. Great to see live. They were impressive to watch, especially her.

He does, and I wasn't trying to say that he is without talent or skill, just that he uses a LOT of electronic aids to get that sound. Even in that vid that you posted, he's got the reverb cranked WAY the hell up. Also sounds like he's playing through a harmonizer that is just a touch off key.

Wouldn't surprise me. Helps give classical pieces a more harpsichord sound.
saw this guy play in Dallas a few years back
First half of the song is good...the second half he goes nutty ;D

sounded pretty cool...i will agree with darkwing that he is using the effects proccesor to achieve much of what you hear, reverb, echo, delay all help to give the rythim of the song, reverb makes almost any guitar sound fuller and more epic.
This old man kicks all those young whippersnappers butts...and back in his day you didnt need no electronical mumbo-jumbo to play the guitar ;D

^^^ He's the Victor Wooten of the classical guitar!! :) Gotta go with Darkwing on this one. The fact that he got to know his echo/delay effect that well is impressive, but if you took out all the effects it would be a really simple piece. The classical bit a couple of posts down is, however, pretty good.
