Finger Picking This n' That

This video was featured on YouTube. I know nothing about guitars, but I think it sounds really nice. It's some absolutely awesome playing, and he now has a huge fan base. The brilliant thing about YouTube is that it shows you that there are millions of very talented people in the world, even if they are not big stars. This is an old American man who likes playing the guitar. 130,000 people have watched him. Perhaps through user generated online communities, like blogs and YouTube, we have finally found a way to show what we like, and not to be told what we like?
