That's awesome, thanks for sharing the link. An incredibly popular song recently, and he has perfected the acoustic rendition.
Candyrat sure has some great artists. I love Drifting and Africa by Andy McKee too.

That was incredible.
So, my big brother was playing guitar and I figured I'd try it too.

The guy's harmonics are fantastic and his fingers are Loooonnnggg!

This is a cool fun version of that song as well:

If you like that kind of purcussive playing style I recommend the movie "August Rush" -- actually a very good one with Robin Williams.

That was a great movie by its self. The guitar was a treat. Kaki King and I forget who else.

Here's another version of the same song remixed with The Police, Can't Stand Losing You. Interesting.
