While the news is still fresh, here's another tribute to the King of Pop, done by Youtube guitarist JussJef. The arrangement here is a wonderful medley of 10 Michael Jackson songs. With great use of Delay and Loop, listen to this performance in his(MJ's) memory. Here are the songs in the medley(in order)
Another favorite for fingerstyle playing. Edgar Cruz is a classical guitarist, he's already released a number of CD's of tutorials and albums, and has performed in numerous concerts around the globe. In this live performance just in his hometown, he plays a classical piece by Carmina Buroff, O Fortuna. O Fortuna by Edgar Cruz
Featuring another Youtube sensation that goes by the username MysteryGuitarMan. Here, he plays a classical piece Marriage of Figaro done by Mozart. This certain arrangement involves 3 guitars each playing different , all played by MysteryGuitarMan. Coupled with professional editing, you're sure to be amused by this video.

Thousands of tributes have been done for the deceased King of Pop, Michael Jackson(may he rest in peace). There were dance tributes, videos, song, and covers all over the web. One such recognition to the King caught my attention, it was performed live at the Acoustic Guitar Meeting on April 4 2009 in Giessen/Rödgen, Germany. Played by one of the brightest fingertyle guitarists I've seen: Sungha Jung, a talented Korean boy, guitarist and Youtube star. This is one of my favorite performances, simply because not only am I a fan of fingerstyle and classical playing but Sungha is just so amazing.
Let's go slower as I introduce you to Sam Newton Battenberg Faulkner or Newton Faulkner for short, and if you think you've seen a one man band, this guitarist from Surrey can outstrip most by just playing his guitar, singing and hitting his guitar as percussion. His style includes a rythmic and catchy beat while singing songs from folk to alternative. His compositions possess that adult contemporary sound as with songs you hear from those such as Michael Bublé, John Mayer, Tim McGraw, etc. Hope you enjoy these videos. All I Got by Newton Faulkner:
Feels Like Home by Newton Faulkner
I Need Something by Newton Faulkner
