How about this!!

While some of us still struggle with "Freight Train" -- the reality is playing skills and techniques have evolved to this level.

Scary technique, matchless.
But for me as a listener I would say, too artificial.
Don't think I could listen to him all night.
Apart from that, hats off.

I couldn't watch the whole thing honestly. Too reminiscent of Andy McKee's drifting which imo sounds much better.

I agree a steady diet of this style is not for me --- but still humbling, did you ever really think of playing two guitars simultaneously!

But I'd place this guy and Andy in the "Michael Hedges Wannabe" category.

This is more my style. I've seen Monte several times and every time is a treat. Sometimes I wonder if he's got 11 fingers on each hand. His other videos are worth checking out also imo.
