Hey guys. I'm really just introducing myself, my name's Flint and I'm from Florida.. I've got myself a 14-string guitar, same idea as the one Adam Fulara plays, except mine actually has two seven-string fretboards on one large neck-- this gets better sustain, warmer sound than a split double-neck.

I was searching google and came across this site because the article on Flamenco tapping caught my eye. That's something I've never thought about doing and would like to try out.

Great work! I appreciated "Take 5" very much.

I also appreciated the design and workmanship on your instrument, and the link to Michael Bianco's site.

The new video of Michael is breathtaking:

Thanks for posting, Flint!

thanks for posting that video of bianco.
i saw that clip when it was aired on my local PBS station, but i didn't realize it was online as well.

so then you're familiar with mike, i take it.
i took lessons from him for about two years, then he said that there was nothing left for him to teach me that I couldn't learn somewhere else (in other words, he'd taught me all the two-handed technique i needed)
i disagree-- i'm blown away every time I see him perform.
