How about some sweet guitar videos?

Top 5 videos of amazing guitar players:

5) Raul Midon is an excellent singer and and his guitar playing is pretty impressive too. Especially after you realize he's blind:



4) Another performance on David Letterman's show, Rodrigo Y Gabriela are an amazing pair. In case you end up thinking, "Hey, the audio and video aren't synced up very well, the picture keeps skipping frames. What kinda crappy video did he post?!", there are no problems with the video - they're just playing faster than the camera can keep up.



3) One of the greatest guitar icons ever, Christopher Guest's lovable lead guitarist of Spinal Tap, Nigel Tufnel. In case you've been living under a rock your entire life, yes - Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer actually played their parts for This Is Spinal Tap and A Mighty Wind. They are all phenomenal musicians and songwriters.



2) Ah, Dragonforce. They've been labeled everything from "Britain's newest guitar gods" to "Nintendo metal". One thing these guys haven't been called is "slow". Watch the inset on the video... To paraphrase Ned Needlander, "There are no camera tricks, they are that fast." And for those who were living under that rock I mentioned above, Ned Needlander was Martin Short's character in "Three Amigos".



1) This guy's name is Andy McKee. He can make one guitar sound like an entire band. Granted, said band doesn't have a kazoo in it, but this should still blow your mind anyway (my favorite part is toward the end, when he's doing all the harmonics):



Bonus video!!! In case that wasn't impressive enough, see what he can do with a guitar that has 6 harp strings attached to it:



Extra-bonus video!!! I love the t-shirt Rodrigo's wearing (he and Gabriela used to play in a metal band together). Stairway... like you've never heard it before:



Cheers.
