Kaki King...
I am currently being awestruck by the girl pictured at the right. Kaki King is probably one of the most amazing, innovative, inspired guitarist / musicians I have come across ina very long time — maybe even ever. (Sorry to the person who originally posted a link to her site, but I can’t remember where I found it).
From NPR:
Acoustic guitarist Kaki King honed her unusual fingerstyle technique playing in New York City subway stations. She does amazing things with the simple sitring: she slaps the wood, rubs the strings and hammers her fingers over the frets. In short, she treats her guitar like a percussion instrument, creating a sound that one reviewer describes as “somewhere between funk and flamenco.”
Listen to “Steamed Juicy Little Bun” here and then go buy her record here.

Take 2… Kaki King is cool compadre! LOL, no really, she reminded me of Willy Porter when I first listened to and SAW her play – she’s very “at one” with her instrument. I LOVE seeing chics play guitar, there needs to be more of us!
