I've always admired this guy's outfits. His whole vibe is uniquely his own. Love the spin at the 2:30 mark

He’s a showman for sure.
But his technique is not too shabby either.

Its such a great piece of music, and he does it proud. Not much damping with the left fingers, but he achieves the sound. I have to say, he calls it a Hawaiian guitar. I've been saying it for years. Doesn't matter what you play on it.
