Watch T-cophony's Two-Hand, Double-Neck Guitar Tapping — Video
Today we direct your attention to a young Japanese guitarist who goes by the handle "T-cophony."
As you'll see in the many videos available on his YouTube channel, T-cophony has a fairly unique tapping style, which he applies to guitars with one neck (bottom video) and two necks (top video).
Below, check out "Gray," which T-cophony plays on a double-necked acoustic guitar. The recently shared Facebook version of this video has been viewed almost 1.7 million times. We've also included another original song, "Softener," for your viewing and listening pleasure (bottom video).

Damian is Editor-in-Chief of Guitar World magazine. In past lives, he was GW’s managing editor and online managing editor. He's written liner notes for major-label releases, including Stevie Ray Vaughan's 'The Complete Epic Recordings Collection' (Sony Legacy) and has interviewed everyone from Yngwie Malmsteen to Kevin Bacon (with a few memorable Eric Clapton chats thrown into the mix). Damian, a former member of Brooklyn's The Gas House Gorillas, was the sole guitarist in Mister Neutron, a trio that toured the U.S. and released three albums. He now plays in two NYC-area bands.
