kaki king.
kaki king is acoustic lady jams that are sometimes more appealing to the eye than ear. she’s got interesting ways of playing that haven’t really been exploited yet, but in my opinion.. she’s not at the top of her game with it. i’ve seen better a while ago.. some older white guy that was kind of balding? he wasn’t as easy on the eyes, but a lot better at that open-tuning, guitar slapping thing. i like that the pink noise song sounds electronic, but i hate those two notes that seem out of key. anyway, if you dig it.. she just released a new album. check it out.
people have been playing this way for a while now. there is an older bald guy who was pretty famous for it, if i remember correctly. but i dont think they have been doing it as commercially as she has. there are some great videos of people who can play this way much better than she shows in these two examples. if you really like this style, search around, there is some killer stuff out there.
