Tea Spoon Slide Guitar From South Africa

By Roadjunky, Posted Jan 03, 2010

Why did no one think of playing the blues like this before?

Hannes Coetzee is a rising Youtube star (though it’s odds on he has no idea how to use a keyboard) but has spent most of his life tapping aloes in the South African bush, spending many a lonely night practising his original teaspoon guitar technique and now in his 60’s he’s reaching a broader audience.

Check out Hannes Coetzee on Myspace and enjoy something really beautiful.

How cool is this?
