"flutterplucking"
I was in Ottawa last weekend and saw a busker playing the guitar in a most unique way - he had an amplified acoustic guitar lying flat on his lap and he was slapping and tapping the strings with both his hands and creating an almost piano-like sound, or bells or something. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? What do you think?

Didn't 'Thumbs Carlyle' play that way? Not for sure. Did he have a string dampener to keep the noise of the open strings down to a minimum?
I was in Montreal last year and I saw all kinds of incredible musicians all over town playing for tips.

I'm not familiar with Thumbs Carlyle, but he may very well have played the same way as this busker.
I didn't really look too closely at his setup, but I don't think I saw any string dampeners (mind you, I'm not really sure what those would look like anyways). Come to think of it, I think he just let the open strings ring. He said that he had invented the technique 12 years ago, while he was fooling around on his guitar while on the phone. I would have bought the CD, but he said it was pretty New Age, and I'm really not into that kind of thing.

she was actually a drummer, and just randomly took up guitar one day. pretty cool if you ask me.
yeah, she uses alot of open tuning. and aside from that, i have no idea how she can do all of that. its amazing. ive decided by the end of this year, im gunna be able to do a nice percussion accompanyment to my acousic songs.
