20th December 2010: Moonshine presents Az Samad and One Lick Less (Julien Bansilhon) live at No Black Tie.

This is Az.

He normally slaps, scratches and knocks his guitar, but he can’t do so on one of these. One of Malaysia’s few accomplished fingerstyle guitarists!

Once in a while though he will have a haram note (shown above) followed by a legit in-scale save note (shown below). 😀

There was also One Lick Less, who did some serious folk…

…and then he brought out his lap steel guitar! That was the first time I had seen one. And then he proceeded to play the sweetest slide guitar ever. Sweet but in a bitter emotional way.

A metal slide, much too big for one finger!
