Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be sure to check out the guitarrists you guys mentioned.

Oh, I can vouch for savagerabbit. He's recommended some real winners for you. Fahey is one of my faves. Charley Patton. I might add Glenn Jones and Jack Rose. There all pickers in the Country Blues/American Primitive style. Good stuff.

I' ve got to admit that I havent't heard any of the guitarrists you mentioned. I'll check them out. But i sure hope they don't sound anything like the Joe Satrianis and Van Halens because if it's undeniable that they have great technique they suck as songwriters and use completly dated and cheesy pedal effeccts. M. Ward can play the guitar and write good songs. And for me it's more about substance than flash...

Well before you die take the time to listen to some real guitarists. Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Jorma Kaukonen, Charley Patton. Start with those.

Hahaha, if it were something actually spectacular you wouldn't have said "almost" sounds like more than one guitar.

Man, I've watched this video so many times already. Man, can this guy play his axe... It almost sounds like there is more than one guitar playing. Colour me envious.
Love his music, by the way.

i had no idea a guitar could make those kinds of sounds. so it turns out i actually can't play the guitar! and all these years i've been thinking i could. never mind i'll be dead one day.

I didn't even know fingers could do that.

M. Ward has a thing for weird tuning. Listen to Bad Blood for example (Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes song, but written by M. Ward)
