khfreek,

Thanks for the videos, I really liked Three E's for Edward and Ocean.

Here are some videos of Leo Kottke, he's one of my favorite fingerpicking guitar players. He plays American Primitive Gutiar style.

The first song Leo plays is a cover of the Allman Brothers Band song, Little Martha, and there is an intresting story behind it, Jimi Hendrix appears in Duane Allmans and shown him the melody. Leo Kottke calls it "the most perfect guitar song ever written."

The second one is Ojo, he stops and starts from the beginning, I don't know if he really made a mistake or just has a wry sense of humor.

Vaseline Machine Gun speaks for itself, I just wish all guitar solos were filmed this way!

The last song is my one of my favorites, from Leo Kottke, Watermelon. I couldn't find a live version showing him play it so I had to settle for a (still-frame) picture of the album cover.
