Thomas Leeb is one of those cool fingerstyle guitarist in the same vein as Preston Reed and Erik Mongrain. Very impressive to watch. I saw Preston Reed play in Whelan's back in November and was very surprised how good it was. Wasn't that much into the music but it made a lot more sense live. He brought 10 guitars with him for one gig! Thomas Leeb's music is better so this should be fun.

Austrian born Thomas Leeb plays a style he calls 'the bastard child of acoustic fingerstyle'. This style owes as much to percussive techniques as traditional fingerstyle guitar as his tunes are usually punctuated by slaps, pops and beats. Adding to the overall effect is his frequent use of ringing harmonics. The resulting blur of busy hands and fingers has to be seen to be believed. Leeb released his first album, the now out of print Reveller, as a precocious 17 year old. However, his unique style didn't come into full force until his 1999 album Riddle. He has since released four further albums and toured Asia, North and South America and Europe.
