Self taught African woman guitarist from Botswana

Amazing Woman from Botswana plays a guitar like never before.avi.flv - YouTube

 

Hiya *dim*

It's not actually so amazing. The guitar is 'tuned', so it's just a case of picking out some notes in the scale to make up a tune. Don't get me wrong, she's very good, but amazing? No

 

"Fantasy ends, where knowledge begins" where the words uttered to me when a mate passed me a guitar to hold and play for the first time. He was dead right too, once you can pick out a tune it all becomes quite easy, or easier should I say.

The women is very good, gets a great tune out of the guitar in an interesting way, that makes it enjoyable to watch, I do like her back of the hand neck slides and over animated hammer ons..great stuff!

Hi again.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that those that have little can get such joy from creating music.
I was speaking purely from an analytical point of view.:o

 

It's not a woman playing the guitar, it's a man.

 

lol, oh I think so
