More than one way to skin a cat

I can't post this video since I can't save it to my computer.  It also isn't my video.  However, it is a fascinating method of playing guitar that some of you will find familiar.  Check it out.

She makes that look so easy.

I have no idea, but I know I can't do that.  ;-)

One word....WOW!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting that. I wonder how it was tuned.

[Gary Loren McCallister]

Yeah.  I can hardly make music happen with my fingers.

Gary, that's really cool.  It's not just that she plays the guitar by fretting over the top, like we play the dulcimer, but she gets all kinds of bass runs and stuff by rolling her hand over the fretboard. It's really wild.  She's obviously in some kind of open tuning, and I'd love to hear what she sounds like on a better instrument. There's lots of bass there, but the treble notes sound a little plastic.

 

Thanks for sharing that; it's really cool.
