Nice interview, and great close-ups of the fretboard so we can see how he plays some of these mesmerizing licks. One of my favorite guitarists out there today.

Love the tone and the trilling style

[@grahamsampson769]

Lots of hammerons and pulloffs. Plus, his thumb provides some amazing bass runs.

[@nicolagiuseppe]

Yes. It ain't simple. Check Goye Kur. Listen to the thumb.

In his learn malian guitar course he said something like you can't play when you're hungry or not healthy. Why he say here when he's hungry the guitar takes it away?
