@@Jack_hoff_man never said he did, flamenco technique applies percussion attacks over the guitar as well, and those are also applied to modern compositions. Just like string players sometimes leave the bow for pizz. or plucked strings players using bows. In Chile there's also a skilled guitar player who has used double bass techniques (for the left hand) in order to reach bigger intervals that would normally take the player to slide and release either an unwanted glissando or a not always appreciated sound from sliding the finger over the string. My point is, that although this might not sound in style in terms of technique, he didn't either in terms of musical language (specifically the rythm) therefore, it shouldn't be measured or put in that frame because it is a completely different beast.

What i hate is that so many people abuse the word "prodigy" now'a'days for very good musicians. A prodigy is someone who is so naturally talented that they can usually play the instrument flawlessly without professional help. They teach themselves and learn the instrument in their own way. Someone who is trained by a professional can also after thousands and thousands of hours of practice also play this well. But that doesn't mean they're a prodigy. It just means they dedicated all that time into perfecting their skill. Which i feel should be portrayed more in media, as the word prodigy is being tossed around now'a'days it feels like the passion and sheer practice gets ignored. I understand it's supposed to be a compliment, but at the same time it's ignorant of the amount of time they have spent practicing to get to this level. Everyone starts off somewhere, you don't magically become this good even as a prodigy. It takes time, lots of time. Speaking from personal experience as i used to go to piano lessons for 9 years

One of the few times this show got to see an actual savant.

[@fancypig]

I'm not sure this guy is a savant though. Sure as fuck talented, but you have to have a mental disability for you to be savant.

[@IwonaKlich]

Check the definition of the savant... Please... I know you probably get it from 'The good doctor' but savant id severe mentaly disabled person. Its not a complinent...

[@hy1mang]

@@IwonaKlich ok

[@grogu_2003]

Absolutely agree; however, the word you are looking for I believe is prodigy

[@fancypig]

@@IwonaKlich thank you for reposting a less accurate version of my comment. With worse grammar too. A savant is not someone with a severe mental disability, it is someone with a severe mental disability who happens to possess prodigal capability in a single thing.

Imagine that on an electric guitar. That would scream! Kid you got more than talent. You have gold plated fingers. Keep going man.

[@BlackRoseImmortal75]

you can just imagine or you could listen yngwie malmsteen

[@Beezlie727]

Look again! That guitar is electrified. It has an electric pickup taped over the sound hole. From what I can see he may have a built-in pickup inside the guitar as well based on the wiring that plugs into the base of it. It's not your standard acoustic guitar.

[@DrMurdercock]

@@Beezlie727 acoustic with a pick up isn't the same as an electric guitar.

[@SojuLast]

@@Beezlie727 A lot of acoustics have that, its so that they can connect it to speakers or else you wouldnt be able to hear it at all. An electric guitar refers to something entirely different and produces a different sound.

[@RobinsonHuso-nl1lq]

Depending on what tone you are going to utilize, it would sound pretty different on an electric guitar, not necessarily better. Electric guitar pickups capture sound generated by the strings, they are actually not designed to pick up noise from the body itself, like when he does all that percussive stuff. In detail, they generate and capture a magnetic field thats being interfered by the strings. You can still hear the sounds from the body, but definitely not as prominent as with an acoustic guitar. Also, when you use overdrive or distortion like in a typical rock guitar tone, it would sound rather muddy, as different notes played under distortion kinda get fused together. It would be much more difficult, to distinguish the different notes he's playing. Sorry if that sounds rather disappointing...

[@Myytzlplk]

Yep I've been playing most of my life now (50yo) & I can't come close to that

[@turinreza]

you need a special guitar build for this kind of fingerstyle. lots of mics, percussion mics, to pick up every tap and low strings you can one hand hammeron and get a bass sound. and lots of effects.

[@jameshicks1367]

@@turinreza actually you don't. I've been playing guitar for 50 years now. I've known people in my life that could do that and they had nothing more than a cheap fender or a Martin guitar. A Taylor at the best. I simply have freaking arthritis now and that prevents me from doing a lot of things I used to do. I played classic guitar heavy metal country music and every other style you can play on a guitar. I have 12 of them in my house right now plus four amplifiers and recording system. No you do not need a special guitar and microphones blah blah blah

It’s not impressive if you know that this is just his natural reaction to what he is doing. He’s moving on the music. Every artist has their own physical expression when performing. Some are extremely focused and don’t move at all. Others are extremely expressive. It’s not something they rehearse.
