Found this on my merry travels around the interweb, a rather superb example of innovative guitar styles. Just shows that the traditional methods of doing things are all well and good but sometimes a little creativty goes along way.

“Hannes Coetzee is an aloe tapper and self-taught musician from Herbertsdale in the Klein Karoo. He plays traditional and original compositions using a teaspoon in his mouth to slide the melody on his guitar. The only known practioner of this style, he is able to play the melody and the accompanying chords at the same time creating the sound of two guitars with one.”
