I recently discovered John Butlerās Ocean & was so amazedā¦ his playing style is phenomenal! I am so inspired watching guitar players whose skill level seems to be from another planet!

Absolutely, I often wonder how thatās possible

By the way, Welcome to the community, Tod

Again on this guitar heroes topic, when it comes to classical guitar being used in unorthodox way (in non classical repertoire) Estas Tonne really stands out. He communicates in very emotional storytelling, beyond the fabric of reality.
āStrings of Bardā is a long piece but worth experiencing in itās entirety. It twist and turns, changes and tells many different stories.
Letting the strings recite their own verses, Strings of a Bard is an acoustic poem honouring the journeys of the heroes of the past and those within each one of us.
I thought Iād start a topic about amazing guitar performances so people can share what they find inspirational, from the present and the past.
Iāll make a start with Sophie Lloydās performance at the Womenās Rugby World Cup final last week in London.
It would be great if every major event would start with a guitar solo

Hi Erion,
I think there are more topics about this (I didnāt look further than the first one I saw). Maybe they can go together? @Richard_close2u ?
Amazing what she does by the way

@roger_holland that thread is 3 years old if everyone revived old threads there would be nothing new and this forum would wither and die.
@erionstrings good find thanks for posting.

I hope the match was half as entertaining as the solo!
@mfeeney0110 nowhere near. lol 
I was under the impression it was preferable to post in the appropriate thread, if there was one (or you could find it 
).
I donāt think the Community is suffering from a shortage ānew threadsā yetā¦

Time to share my YouTube playlist, then 
One of the grooviest videos I ever watched, I never get tired of it!
This performance is definitely from an alien!
I donāt know if it counts as performance, but pilky27 Hendrix interpretations are my favorites ever!

That would be the what are you listening to thread then.
No just a shortage of interesting ones,
Very cool
Speaking of alien performances, Steve Vai really is from another planet. How he can even play that āthingā standing is beyond me.
Itās one of the coolest guitar videos Iāve ever watched though.
