Modern day Virtuosos

[Rick.45cal]

Virtuosity is a term generally applied to musicians and to a lesser extent artists. It's generally not only someone who has achieved mastery of an instrument (or Art), but beyond that, music (Art) seems to "pour" out of them, they move their audiences in ways that are indescribable and often evoke powerful feelings and emotions in their audience through their music (or Art).

I think we should have a thread to share some of these amazingly talented humans, and maybe inspire some of us, to venture out of our comfort zones.

This is the video that has inspired this thread. All I can say is "I'm absolutely floored by it!"

Wow simply amazing! Interesting the most true "virtuosos" do not use written music, they remember it all.

Awesome! Very enjoyable 6 minutes of my day. Love the rock/classic stuff. TSO is my jam.

17 years old, pretty incredible! I really liked her cover of Comfortably Numb and she was 15. I remember playing Guitar Hero and not getting through the first two stages. Thanks for sharing!

That guitar is my design. (It's a work in progress. I should get off of Reef2Reef and work on it LOL)

Here's some teaser shots of the first batch...

Handcarved neck, laminated mohaganny, wenge, and curly maple (Neck body transition)

Front of the same body, after dyeing and nitrocellulose laquer. (The finish still needs to be leveled and buffed to a perfect high gloss)

You get the idea. These are entirely scratch built, by hand, by me. EVERYTHING including hand wound pickups is all done by myself.
