Guitaristry

Just when you thought you have heard it all played on a guitar, there appear new
kids on the blog with stunning abilities. Where others need a lifespan to get things
under their belt they are naturals, pick up a guitar and rip through a tune.

Presented here are ...

Billy Strings playing a set on such a marvelous place in Colorado, it is breath taking.

Max Ostro, at home at every style

A headscratcher is that at least two of them are sporting masonery symbolism.
Billy Strings, whose real name is William Apostol, has meanwhile tattooed a 33
on his forearm and another one engraved in a tailpiece on one of his guitars.
Ostro wears an orange jacket and uses a strap with a checkerboard design. Is it
thinkable they sold their souls to the devil in exchange for outstanding abilities
like blues man Robert Johnson once did on a crossroad ? At least Ostro seems
to be completely soulless ...
