    There aren't many guitarists who play electric guitar with their right hand fingers so well without a pick.

    I've admired his technique ever since I first saw him on YT a couple of years ago. Notice how he shifts his hand position for fast (or should I say faster) lines. His fingers are placed more perpendicular to the fret board and are fairly straight. This is how I was taught "picado" when I was learning Flamenco many years ago.

    Anyway, his right technique is pretty damn interesting and very impressive. I have not seen anyone else play finger style electric guitar using this kind of shifting hand position. I'm sure somebody else does, but I haven't seen it.

    When you listen to his playing, it gives the impression that he is playing guitar with a pick.

    Agree.
    It amazes me to see him play.

    He seems to use a two finger picado technique at times. Very interesting.

    Kris, thanks for posting this.
    I didn’t know who he was until I saw a video where Al DiMeola was raving about him. Then I saw another video and Steve Vai was raving too.
    Then I watched him and I haven’t stopped watching him since. Incredible.
    The next generation is upon us.
