Thanks to Eric for pointing me to Phil's blog, who is pointing to the YouTube video. That's how this "conversation" thing works.

This guitar video is astounding
Paul -- This one's for you. I've been playing a guitar, in one form or another, for over 40 years. But I have never seen or heard anything quite like this. Check out this video and prepare to be impressed.

Wow! That sounded amazing.
Back in the 80's there was a gent from Sweden who we thought was the second coming of Eddie Van Halen. He played very quickly and most of his songs were instrumentals -- written closely, if not copied from classical music. His name is Yngwie Malmsteen.
This guy reminds me of him.
I remember that name, but I haven't heard of him in years. However, judging from his official website (http://www.yngwie.org/) he's still going crazy. I wonder whether we'll figure out who the kid in the video is. Has anybody found out any info about him yet?
Hey Markus -- thanks for the mention of veoh. It is a pretty amazing site. I hadn't heard of it before but the stuff that's on there looks great. Quite an operation. Now that youTube is getting so much attention, we may see other sites like this pop up into public awareness too.
Have you ever heard Malmsteen's Concerto For Guitar And Orchestra in E-Flat Minor?
Incredible stuff he recorded with the Czech Philharmonic. (At least that's the performance I have on CD.)
I haven't heard it, but I'm going to order it. If his stuff is as good as you guys say it is, it will be right up my alley. Thanks for the pointer.
