I had come across this video of a hip-hop and violin combination and thought it was good enough to merit some props. The guy on the violin is rather good, if a bit harsh on the violin. I'm not a huge fan of hip-hop, but it sounded good to my ears:

Unfortunately for him, though, I can't say he's exactly mind-blowing. Not when he had to compete with these four lovely and extremely talented ladies for that title in the world of music fusion:

You know, these charts and graphs are made of win.

For example:

This is the best use of office applications and tools, ever!

Found these on a forum:

First, Zack Kim using hammers-on on two electric guitars:

Next is Jean Baudin playing the theme on on an 11-string bass:

The above two are great, but my personal favorite is Sebastien Gomez playing the Mario theme in classical guitar style:

That's the one I want to learn how to play!

Got an electric guitar from a friend for pretty cheap, so here's my small collection of guitars!

This music video rocks!
