And now for something completely mostly different...

It's still Little Wing, what Jimi wrote, but here we have:

1) an acoustic guitar
2) fingerstyle
3) with tapping

Carlos Vamos, dubbed the "Mad Exapter of the Guitar" (Gaia.com), plays in a style similar to Stanley Jordan or Michael Hedges - closer to the former in actual performance style, closer to the latter in that he does so on a thick-stringed acoustic. Which makes it more difficult.

You can find out more about Carlos at CarlosVamos.com (which does a quick redirect to the actual site). Amazon.com doesn't seem to have any of his discs, but he has some on sale on the site.

Anywho, here's Carlos, jamming on Little Wing:

I walked around the yard, taking in some of the Autumn colors, not to mention another crop of mushrooms, a couple of bees, and a nice n' fuzzy close up of our barn spider.

Speaking of nice n' fuzzy, Tika followed me around so there are more than a few of her looking for attention or pointedly ignoring me on account of her not considering pictures a suitable substitute for scritching and petting and other such Tika-Is-The-Only-Cat-In-The-World type behaviors. =)

As always, click through the picture to see the rest of them.
