Monday music: unorthodox (air-tapping) guitar from Canada and Botswana

From last week's Korean-kid kuteness, to some creative approaches to the guitar.

First, Erik Mongrain from Canada.


Then a chap named Ronnie from Botswana.

I like how the Botswana guy breaks out with the little smile in the middle, just when he breaks it up with some cool stuff.

"Korean-kid kuteness"...no good, Dan, no good. You wouldn't want all those trolls out there to accuse you of being a über white-supremacist, now, would you?? (Just read that quote again....)

Seriously, though, the Canadian guy's approach reminds me of the way they play the koto (Japanese) or gu zheng (Chinese). Here's the address (not the direct link!) for viewing a bunch of gu zhengs being played together (with a violin playing the main melody):
