remember the post about that indie-musician, Andy McKee? and his video called Drifting? How he'd play an acoustic while he plays precussion on his guitar? Yeah, that was amateur work compared to these guys.
This duo from Mexico City is phenomenal. They were in a thrash metal band called Tierra Acida before they moved to Dublin, Ireland and started playing acoustic sets at local pubs, defining their sound as they learned from from traveling musicians. I've seen these two at Central Park over the summer, they had a 3 hour set which was free, in the afternoon! beautiful day, too, so it was very relaxing. They're on an official tour, now, and i'm seeing them again in NYC on Oct. 19, for $30. In some venues, including NYC, they will be joined by a third guitarrist... Alex Skolnick from Testament!! :smokin:
They have two albums out. I've heard their latest release, Self-titled, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and its beautiful, I went and bought it right away. They do a great cover of Stairway to Heaven, and just a good cover of Orion. The latter, was recently performed on Leno's Tonight Show, with a little extra in the end. here's a little taste of who these guys are:
Rodrigo y Gabriela - Orion (Metallica) (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2wxua_rodrigo-y-gabriela-perform-orion-on_music)
Here is their music video for one of their own tracks off the album, so you can hear their own sound as well
