Street Guitarist Performs Classical

This is the first of a handful of videos entitled “Street Guitarist” that we will be running consecutively here at Acoustic Guitar Videos.

I have a special place in my heart for these musicians since I at one point way back when in France, we had no money for gas to drive to our next gig –  had to open a case and play in a crowded open air market.

The technology for playin’ the streets has become quite sophisticated, as this guys (his name is Jacek Piotrowicz, 19 from Poland) sound is better than a lot of other guitarists studio efforts. This is due to him being amplified (the creator of the video says)

This was filmed at the rue des Abbesses, 224 (224 Abbesses street), Monmartre, Paris. August 24th, 2010.

If you were passing by, how much would you throw in his guitar case?
