Hello, and I hope your new year is going well. Regular visitors will notice the pace has slowed down since the "winter break" started. rest assured, it will be over soon and I'll start posting more often.
The video below was something I tripped on while searching for guitar entries on Youtube.com
This video, is by Guitarist/composer/(percussionist?) Andy McKee, and his record company Candyrat Records.
Not only is the music incredible, but the record company is doing the smart thing: get the product out there, in a "free" format, and let it sell itself. In this way they are building a community around the artist's work (see the comments section), and have all their contact information (and other web sites) in the "About the video" section (so people can find a way to buy the music, and find their other artists as well).
Brilliant, IMHO.
You can check out Andy's work below, and see related videos too.
Good luck with your own music, and it's promotion.

that's wild. I wonder what tuning he's using, not to mention what type of strings he's got on that guitar to get such great sustain from his fingertapping with his left hand. Fingertapping on acoustics usually doesn't come out so impressive. Well done.
