Fantastic. That's a really novel idea - it allows him to essentially have a third hand and do fingerings that would be otherwise impossible. Great find.
dividedbyfateOh my, that is skillful and soulful playing there. Using the spoon to play slide on the top strings, and normal fingerpicking on the rest is just spectacular. This is going on del.icio.us and my local bookmarks for sure.
kyyrsebeautiful and amazing!
therealblankmanI came across this video a while back- from memory I recall that the guitarist is an "aloe tapper"- he taps the large aloe plants for their juice- you can see the plants behind him. The site claimed that Coetzee is the only known guitarist known to use this technique. I tell you, I'd buy this on CD in a heartbeat. Maybe we can send Ry Cooder down to South Africa to get Coetzee and some of his buddies to cut an album! It worked for cuban music!
therealblankmanUpdate to my post of 2 minutes ago- further research reveals that the style of music is called "Karoo Kitaar Blues". It seems that film-maker and musician David Kramer has pulled a Ry Cooder and filmed and recorded Coetzee and several other practitioners of this South-African style. The film is available at http://www.canamedia.com/catalogue_can_arts.html
I, on the other hand, will be searching for a Torrent.
Moosemansays...Amazing.

Is there any way to download some more stuff like this? I'd like to have more than a minute clip
