Adrian Legge = Genius

Hey everyone! I've decided to start using this blog as actually something useful (and not for just update announcements) for you guys also... inspiration. So here's the 1st of hopefully many points of inspiration for all of us. This is Adrian Legg. He was the first fingerstyle guitarist I ever heard and consequently, the reason I fell in love with fingerstyle and acoustic guitar. Anyway, enjoy and look for more in the coming months.

Great clip, man! I'd heard about Adrian's use of banjo-style locking tuners to achieve that slide sound by retuning, but never seen it before. Man, that is cool! And his right hand is so relaxed, very minimal movements.

Another clip you might enjoy:

This is Segovia playing one of his signature pieces. It is also great to watch this master and how he orients himself towards the instrument.
