First caught Adrian in a live performance (tiny college town bar venue) in New England in the early 90s. Immediately bought every CD he made and has made since. Same techniques as in this video...honed over decades now.
Until another comment the same as yours appears on another guitar player vid claiming someone's underrated ,when their music only appeals to a certain musical clique. If he was well known,you can bet his musical freedom would be limited by record execs resulting in an easily digestible ,watered down version of what you see.Just enjoy his music, screw mainstream.
because musically it's just not that interesting. he's concentrating so much on wanging the tuning knobs that the music is a bit frigid. you can see he obsesses over his set up - stockinged feet, little block of wood for the pedal, anally arranged pedal board, knows the dominant frequency in khz of his pedals. If that floats your boat so be it, but I was unmoved by the tuning peg wangfest. Semper deorsum.
I have seen Adrian perform twice. Such an amazing treat both times.

Sublime playing, absolutely masterful
CLEARLY, the most under-appreciated guitar player in HISTORY! Beautiful genius!

No one like this guy. ADRIAN is truly unique & wholeheartedly original
OK...that was impressive. Never saw that approach before. Well a bit but never to this extent. Awesome
Better than ever, as usual.
Saw him open for Leo Kottke. Never had heard of him. Jawdropping...
He and Leo are my favorites! Where did you see them together?
Been blown away by this tune since I first heard it 30 years ago. A shame the sidebar video is blurry, cant see his hands!
Tha ax has the look of an old Breadwinner, in my mind's eye the most beautiful guitar, and my most sought after.
Adrian is a true National Treasure.
Joe Satriani called him the best fingerstyle guitarist in the World
No argument from me.
Tommy Emmanuel is way better, but it sure is lovely tones :)
Who the hell thumbed down this video? What an utter joyless cretin that person must be.
