This is Ewan Dobson. I think he is incredible and I wanted to share. I believe he deserves more love. So, if you enjoy acoustic guitar, I highly recommend giving him a listen.This one is called “Time 2” It’s awesome but it’s all about the hat.
He is a pretty unique dude. This is ”Level 5” Feels like we’re going on a quest!
“Blood & Ice” This track really shows off a lot of his talent.
This is “Motion Potion” I think it’s my favorite, I cannot help but smile when I hear it.
FP edit: Wow, I expected this to get buried in usersub, I guess I should have posted sauce...my bad. First 4 links are the tracks featured here - plus 1. Then links to his YT channels, LOTS more amazing stuff there. If you like this, check out the rest. His 12 string renditions of these songs are amazing too.

I'm not convinced Ewan Dobson has any bones in his pinky

That first video clip was one of the first videos I ever watched/liked on youtube back in the day.
siler7
Man, it's been a LONG time since I saw anybody use "wizard" as an adjective.
TangoIndiaTangoSierra
The first one would go really well in Kenshi, daaaamn
printerinkistoomuch

BillNyeTheCrackShopGuy
This dude is okayish, but not stunningly .
squirreltactics
He's awesome. But this is so old, I found him on StumbleUpon... Man I kind of miss that site.
Bystandr

Fuck yeah! Loves me some Dobson! His tuning is cool. If you’re into this, check out Tommy Emmanuel too. Find “Initiation”. I might post it.
allowmetousesomecaulk
Hell yes! Saw Tommy play at the El Capitan a couple years ago.
DarthSatyriasis
I LOVE THIS GUY!
Poopsack420
I was jamming to this dude a while ago! He's great!

Motion Potion makes me feel he was really influenced by Leo Kottke. Sounds good.
DillPixels
My brain can’t understand how he doesn’t this.
DillPixels
Fuck me and my fingers and my poor sleep. How he does this*
ninetenduh
The first one is old enough to go into retirement, never the less, Ewan Dobson is amazing.
dghammer
Finally was able to listen.....sharp.
Justinthesky
That lampshade plays a mean guitar.
catprolly
I remember watching when he was just a couple videos....kudos
HoldingAccount
Now he's a real person! Crazy how nature do that!
lovelightandgrace
So wizard? Is that what we’re saying these days?
Solkanarmy
as in, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes?
CogPrimus
They were saying it in 1953 when lord of the flies was written. It isn't new, but it may be back. Or maybe OP is 80 years old.
lovelightandgrace
But I still dont know what YEET means!
SaraFourImgur
Only if you want to be truly chromed.
Theried
My favorites from him are time 2, machinery and my nightmare. Hadn't heard the last one you posted though. Pretty great.
Marinebrother159
A personal favorite of mine is "I know your pain". Listened to it on repeat back in 2011 and wondered how someone could be that good.
bartman2014
Checkout his cover of Leo Kottke’s ‘Vaseline Machine Gun’. He does a great job!! Bloody talented dude!

Fuck yeah! 12 string! Give Ewan MORE STRIIIIIINGS!
Leberbs
Candyrat records almost exclusively signs artists like this, but none are quite like this guy. Check out their YouTube page.
levzin
Holy crap. I can only imagine what he would be capable of with a 12 string.
Gantzz321
he does that too
SaraFourImgur
Probably the same things but he wouldn't need as many effects
allowmetousesomecaulk
Oh....yeah.. He’s AWESOME on 12 strings.
DoctorDudeBruh
Thats pretty awesome
AbortableToaster
Holy shit I forgot about him for 12 years!
mity0k23
You didn’t forget, you just haven’t remembered.

"Motion potion" reminds me of the banjo duel of Monkey Island 3.

Reminds me of Preston Reed and Leo Kottke (especially on the last tune). Impressive.
MattTheMuss
I was thinking Justin King.

Andy McKee :)

First one sounds a lot like buckethead

A little bitta Mike Dawes too.

Don't forget John Fahey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReW9uUYm-DA
allowmetousesomecaulk
He covers “Vaseline Machine Gun” too. Kottke was definitely a big influence.
gynonurseifixyourladybits
My dad was blessed to have played a few sessions with Chet Atkins. Albeit, he was a bluegrass player, dad was taken with his technique.
TinFoilKat
Kottke is a legend. A must for anyone remotely interested in acoustic guitar.
avagadroavacado
His Facebook posts were weird. I couldn't understand if he was an angry conservative or just angry.
mangoloid
I remember I was in a Facebook group he made called "legend of the brown goat" or something where he would post weird songs
mangoloid
He would also go over how much he hated women and how they were selfish gold diggers. He's a very creative and intelligent person
mangoloid
But he was definitely suffering from some sort of mental issue. Still love the guy tho
avagadroavacado
Yea. I was in his fb friends group. He saw a song a covered of him and liked it. I prefer his creative output to his opinions by a long-shot

Dude Andy McKee is wild

Search for "mulberry mouse" on YT.
stolie
Thank you for introducing me to this
KevorkianScarf
Estas Tonne is another one of my favorites. Cuban Rhapsody and Song of the Golden Dragon are my favorites.
Imustupvotealltacos
Also yes
Freakayou
I remember when "Drifting" first came out and blew up on YT......I just looked at it again.....12 years ago, DDaaaaaammnn I've gotten old.
KevorkianScarf
I really liked his Song For My Father. Really well-played, very beautiful
AVeryNakedMoleRat
Oh god. I remember that. And Erik Mongrain's AirTap at the dawn of YouTube in 2006. Fuck, why am I so old?
MrAdun
If you like him, check out Trace Bundy, saw him live in 2005. Dueling Ninjas is amazing. Capo Stew is also amazing.
KevorkianScarf
Dude Capo Stew, wtf did I just watch. That’s unworldly.
Srcsqwrn
Any of the Candy Rats are absically an auto recommend.
Xethrops
That's the finest fingering I've ever seen.

A great rendition of a classic tune by a great picker with good humor to boot! Enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyWQy7ovGxM

He's pretty good. But I think you're implying something different besides guitar playing.

Risky click of the day. Glad I did, though. Very cool.

Id like this to play in the background as I go about my day to day life ...
AussieBacon
expected alan gogoll, nice
Banesjond
https://youtu.be/nY7GnAq6Znw check this one out..

Yup, that's a good one, but pretty common technique. Those harmonics from Alan are out of this world, speaking as a guitarist.
Banootan
The first track reminds me of Buckethead a little. Anyone else getting that?
sinpwnzorz
He says, in one of his interviews that Buckethead inspired this song, so good! :)
azgrak
Love me some Buckethead.
paleofuturism
sounds like a ton of people. everyone in the mid 2000s was using delay like this.
Banootan
True, I suppose.. But this song was the one I was thinking of when I heard it https://youtu.be/dBsBKMtnsIA
carlsagansghost
We've been using delay like this since it was invented, and still do. Definitely not a 2000s thing. :)
poiter14
Big sur moon!!!
Banootan
Thanks, mate. Would’ve taken me about 306 albums to get to that one.
opkraut
Colma is such a good album, it's one of my absolute favorites
Banootan
I’d say my personal favourite albums are Kaleidoscalp and Acoustic Shards. Also, his stuff with C2B3 is mind blowing.
