Rodrigo y Gabriela guitar players.

If aren't familiar with this amazing guitar team take a gander, or a hear-er, here.

This one doesn't have a video but it's a heck of a lot of fun.

I'm looking forward to singing along with them on Wish You Were Here

Edited to say that Gabriela completely destroys Vikingman after Wish You Were Here. I have such a crush on her it's not even funny.

people think.

Thay will argue that rock/jazz/classical/etc are quite different. So, I say "Imagine, if you can, that you have never heard this piece of music before". I then play Rodrigo y Gabriela's rendition of Stairway to Heaven.

(Sorry, can't get the link to work but is very easy to find on youtube).
