    11 years later and it's time to check in on this kid... th-cam.com/video/uP99lEjSz-c/w-d-xo.html ...Watch the latest episode of the Augustine Strings Windup to hear Garrett discuss the experience of erupting on TH-cam and to see what an exceptional classical guitarist he's become!

      I was simply trying to make a distinction between the two different generations of how all older guitarists didn't have all the resources and and learning tools that younger guitarists have at their disposal today. When Eruption first came out there was no internet, no tabs, no N U F F I N and what you learnt you learnt by ear
