he has some cool compositions and pretty good technique and the ten string guitar is pretty cool, but those little single string capos seems kinda gimmicky. not too mention that his compositional style is basically the same as kaki king (although a little more refined)

you can tell though that he has had some serious classical training, i'd like to see what he could do on a regular nylon six string.

with ten strings :P

its a custom made instrument, there is no standard tuning. he just tunes to whatever fits a particular composition
