This guy is one of the best guitar players I've ever seen, and he doesn't play the guitar like you'd expect.

YouTube user TomSka (creator of the "asdfmovie" series) has uploaded several videos of Konstantinovic (pronounced "kon-stan-ti-NOH-vich") playing original songs, and they are all really awesome.

Rain Before the Storm
Requiem
The Journey

His album is called "Rain Before the Store" and you can purchase it here, on Amazon, or here, on iTunes.

If there's one thing that I can say about former InMe guitarist Ben Konstantinovic, it's that he is unique. On his debut EP, Rain Before The Storm, he uses a technique known as lap-tapping. For those unfamiliar with this method, it is simply this: He sits with his guitar, whether it be acoustic or electric, across his lap and uses quick finger taps against the strings to make a unique listening experience. Sounds simple enough, but when listened to, it's clear that it takes skill and accuracy to create the multi-layered experience that comes with Rain Before The Storm. There are no lyrics, no other instruments, just one man and his guitar, which injects each song with a very personal touch. For those who appreciate a nice night drive, this record is definitely catered to you.

I expected this to be some half-ass friend of yours producing crap in his garage... it was actually pretty damn good.

Haha, no, although it'd be nice to have this guy as a friend.

i don't specifically like lap tapping, but he pulls it off pretty well.

Me after video: Mind=blown.

That's how I was when I watched "Requiem" for the first time, which was the first video of his that I saw.
