To all "Guitar guys" out there...
You suck.
Before you lash out at me, I consider myself to be in the sucky group as well.
Here is a couple examples of how to actually BE the guitar, not just play it at parties like a goofus:
John Butler - Ocean
[youtube][/youtube]
John Butler is one of my favorite guitarists. If you haven't heard it, enjoy. If you have, well, it never gets old.
Another fav is Andy McKee:

I also picture a few people who post here looking quite a bit like Mr. McKee. I don't know why.

Re: To all "Guitar guys" out there...
Is there a purpose in strumming the strings so close to where you're fingering?

You can skip up to where the solo starts at about 5:00 if you want (but the whole song is awesome )

Re: To all "Guitar guys" out there...
A little caveat to this topic:
[youtube][/youtube]
This guy is quite an excellent bassist, though not heralded like Victor Wooten, Jaco, etc. Impressive songwriting and slapping ability.

Re: To all "Guitar guys" out there...
those guys are obviously great, but still not nearly as good as this:
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
those two guys are basically tapping off open tunings, which isn't nearly as impressive as what Stanley Jordan does.
