Two Hand Tapping : Adam Fulara

Adam Fulara (b. 1977 in Ostrzeszów, Poland) is a Polish guitarist who specializes in two-handed polyphonic tapping.

Fulara's fame grew via various YouTube videos featuring his unique playing style and guitar. The videos showcase his tapping abilities and iconic face which goes into a grimace while playing. His most popular videos are his guitar versions of J.S. Bach Goldberg Variations which were originally for harpsichord. Fulara also keeps the complex counterpoint intact due to his double-neck guitar and tapping abilities.

Fulara plays both classical and jazz pieces, the latter often with his trio "Fool-X", which has toured much of Poland and Germany. His music has been featured in the periodicals Magdeburger Volksstimme ("Two hand tapping mit Fool-X", August 31, 2006) and Czas Ostrzeszowski ("Debiutanckie wymiatanie Fool X Trio", November 22, 2006).

Don't mind the faces he makes.... most of this post is Bach. The paper pieces at the top of the neck cancel the sustain of the strings.
