Stuart Hamm Bass Solo Medley Montreux, 1988
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnq3ZW6OyTI
Here's the great Stu Hamm (toured with Steve Vai, Frank Gambale, Joe Satriani, etc.) showcaseing percussive finger-style techniques on a bass guitar.
Jon Gomm "Topeka" (original)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uep3wZuAwZI
A beautifully written and performed piece from one of my favs ... very soulful and dreamy.
A-Ha "Take On Me" (arranged & performed by Alexandr Misko)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMxiuq_tMq0
Here's a thrilling piece of complex playing by this 20-year-old Russian sensation. Jon Gomm is the only other guitarist I know of who alters their tuning pegs - mid song - with this level of fluidity and accuracy. Lots of fun to listen and watch.
TF that young man is magic.to watch and listen to.
He is good, I just can not get used to seeing a great guitar beat up and marked buy using it as a drum. Look at the marks on his guitar. How many of you would treat your guitar like he does? I take great pride in not having a mark on any of my guitars.
I tend to agree with you, CG, and also don't treat my guitars like this. That said, I truly do enjoy the combined elements of this style of playing, and Mr. Misko's execution is excellent. Some players in this genre have small pieces of wood facing attached to the areas where they're going to tap or scratch (like Mike Dawes, below), which would be my preference. But it's up to them ... they own it.
B. Bernie & M. Pinkard "Sweet Georgia Brown" (performed by Joscho Stephan & Tommy Emmanuel)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4NvioAq1yg
A couple of greats trading impressive licks on an old jazz classic. Whew !!!
Two of the best out there. Enjoyed listening to them. Thank you Tenement Funster.
Ewan Dobson "Laser Monk" (original)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo1Olh8ce5k
A unique and nicely played piece featuring Ewan over-laying all three parts to get the harmonies ... he obviously studied counterpoint at some period in his life.
Thank you . He is a great player and showed respect for his guitar. Good clean playing with a hard song to play.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, CG ... thanks for your comment. Mr. Dobson is indeed a class act all the way around.
Percy Mayfield "Hit the Road, Jack" (arranged & performed by Michael Chapdelaine)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F61Dy5xZTwI
Haven't had Michael up for a long time ... this is one of my favorite arrangements of his.
Heh-Heh, always a good choice TF and I thoroughly enjoyed it, as did Dondra who, passing by with the laundry stopped, listened and watched.
Something I noticed (I'm still noticing little musical passages!!) 
), right at the beginning, at 0:58 and1:56, did you catch that little barred run he did? Did it remind you of The Ventures' "Walk Don't Run" a little? I guess it reminded me because it was the first ever barre chord run I was taught as a teen.
Thanks for that great tune and memories, my Canadian friend!
Bill and Dondra

You've got a keen eye, Bill ... I went back and watched that run you mentioned, and is indeed a lot like the Ventures one.
Ewan Dobson "Time 2" (original)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXqPYte8tvc
Interesting use of picking technique and a delay effect ... very unique song which could easily back an ad for a high-end sports car blazing through the winding roads of Germany's Black Forest.
Michael Kobrin & Yossi Sassi "Once" (original)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzsccqp3NpU
An interesting duet with some unique song structure, and an instrument (played by Mr. Sassi) which I've never seen before.
Ludwig von Beethoven "Moonlight Sonata: 3rd Movement" (arranged & performed by Tina Setkic)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6rBK0BqL2w
Not what you were expecting? The remarkable "Tina S" shows amazing chops with her rendition of Maestro Beethoven's masterpiece. Some cynics have said the video has been sped up, but if you watch all of her head and body movements (except her flying fingers!) it's obvious this is in real time, and real amazing.
There is a reason not many classical guitarist do not play the 3rd movement. I do play it but is gets more tiring than other songs. She does a great job playing it. Good find.
Thanks for the comments, CG ... and you have my sincere admiration for being able to play the 3rd movement. Some people don't appreciate this music played in such a different format, but this young lady from France really carries it well. I especially admire her "economy of movement" with her right hand ... very efficient.
Two thoughts' ....
1) she is absolutely incredible - can't imagine the number of practice hours to get to that point.
2) I might as well set my guitars on fire cuz I'll never be able to play anywhere's near that
That was so unbelievable. What a superb talent.
Thanks for sharing
Jim

I can certainly empathize with this, Jim ... skill like this is as intimidating as it is enjoyable. What's interesting is that consciously or otherwise, I find myself picking up little bits of things when I watch these exceptional players, which I wouldn't have thought of otherwise. It's good that music isn't a competition, and we can all enjoy it at our own pace.
But I will say this ... I'll bet my next meal that she can't write lyrics like you do! 
Elton John "Your Song" (arranged / performed by Tatyana Ryzhcova)
Tatyana hails from Belarus in eastern Europe, and gives us a lovely rendering of this timeless classic by Elton John.
A. Piazzolla "Libertango" (arranged and performed by Tatyana's Guitar Quartet)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPu1om4WZsQ
Terrific playing, and just as amazing film / sound editing ... I still marvel at how something like this is even possible.
TF
I was watching and listening and began to notice how the head movements were all the same kid of jerky symmetry. Then I noticed - same quirky smile, then the hair color - then i asked my self - hmmm is the quartet a quartet of sisters...then I finally realized it's all the same woman Tatyana.
Very unusual video - but in the end - great musical talent.
Good one my friend!!
Jim
Wow! VERY nice. Nice enough for me to look up some more of her work. Question for all you accomplished guitarists in "the room". She's going a little "off-key" every now and then, isn't she? I may be crazy, but not stupid enough to think that wasn't intentional, but Herr Beethoven was known to pull some little off-key tricks of his own. I first noticed this on his "Für Elise".
My question(s) though are:
1. Do you agree with me that the notes are off-key?
2. Does that type of playing "device" have a name?
Agreeing with Jim: another fine choice, Rick. In fact I was almost inspired to get down the accousitic and start practicing a pentatonic scale, but sat down till the feeling went away. Just kidding, guys, but I do need to start doing an easy pentatonic scale. Everytime I see someone teaching how to do one, I get all green with envy as their fingers start flying over the fretboard.
Thanks!
Bill
