Slap Style

[JMguitars]

Just in case some people have missed out this style of guitar playing before., here are some videos from Youtube.

Plus, its a break from the usual stereotypical guitar hero icon.

Do enjoy.

where is the king of all kings tomo fujita - he is totally funky.

tommy emmanuel as well.... his songs actually sound awesome... he totally brings MATON a good name.

And there's always Casiopea's Issei Noro.
A very tasty band, and even more when coupled with T-square.

Tomo Fujita man!!!!!! Berklee Professor

 

[garylim]

i find this kind of playing style very rythmic rather than melodic and so, harder to 'feel' . haha just my 2cents worth
