Was just watching this guitarist playing on u-tube.Just amazing!
Kevin
Antoine Dufour
When I searched the internet the first time for a video of a solo guitarist, Antoine Dufour was the first one I found. He has some really interesting music, but most of it is in alternate - and I mean REAL ALTERNATE - tunings. Thanks for putting this up for us Kevin.

It's a Neck-Up. It's not screwed in, it fastens to the end pin and with a suction cup at the other end.I was listening to his Cold Day piece. Boy, he sure has harmonics down. Anybody know what kind of bracing he has attached to his guitar? It looks like it is screwed in to the body.

Kevin, Antoine Dufour is a local artist here in Quebec, but I have only a passing
acquaintance with his music. That's part of the beauty of TG: you, from Illinois,
can jump-start my interest in a local musician.
Of course this is a beautiful rendition.
The only tech comment I can make: I feel squeamish seeing his pick between his lips.
I regularly correct myself when I put a nail or screw there when I need a 3rd arm.
I hope he learns Neil's "hidden pick" trick sometime soon !

Kevin,
Thanks for the lead on this guitarist! I've learned a few techniques from watching him.
That's whats so cool about this forum is discovering other guitarists. I've never heard of John Renbourn or Tommy Emmanuel or Antoine Dufour until I found TG and you guys.
Thanks for posting this video. Jim
