Ok, this is a little off topic (i.e. jazz metal), but crazy enough to check out...



Felix Martin is a versatile and innovative guitar player from Venezuela. He is known for his compositional abilities and his innovative techniques for playing two-handed tapping on the guitar. Felix uses a 14-string guitar that was custom built for his style of playing.

That was some cool music! I think SavaVIDude is right about the instrument being two seven-string guitars fused together. Nonetheless, it's rather inventive. I hope he takes this on the road sometime!


Stay metal (or whatever you call this stuff!). Never rust.
