Rick, it is kind of difficult to describe him, but if you imagine Leo Kottke, Merle Travis, and Chet Atkins all rolled into one and the best aspects of all thir playing distilled into one pair of hands, then you are starting to get close. His command of artificial harmonics played at blinding speed (and with exquisite taste) is spellbinding.

He travels the world over doing workshops for Taylor guitars (just returned from China) and has a signature model Taylor in production now, which is kind of different to the usual Taylor instrument. Florentine cutaway, induvidual pickups for each string, slimmer body, very much a professional picker's instrument.

Try to catch him at your local Guitar Center, He is bound to come your way sometime. And it is free !!!! (You have to buy a Taylor on the way out, however .....)
