I discovered Dusty Ciggaar (what a name!) reading JP’s Stratoblogster blog and I was very surprised to see how well this guy knows his way around the guitar. He seems to be only 17 now but has such a fluency and feeling, plus the fact that he has some complex licks that are not everybody’s chops, if you know what I mean.
The videos I have seen featured him playing at 15 yo so the guy has this in him since a long time.
For the moment I don’t know much about Dusty Ciggaar, I have seen on MySpace he plays in a band called Rhythm Chiefs and they do it good! He lives in Netherlands and this year appeared on a jazz compilation and man,this guy is all booked up!
Dusty Ciggaar won ALL age categories of the Sena Guitar Awards when he was just 14 years old! Imagine that!
I would have loved to put here the first song on his MySpace page, at http://www.myspace.com/dustyfc, but I can not. So, you go there and listen that first melody cause it really made me blue. The picture with Jimmy Vaughan stands as an interesting social proof! I wish I had such a picture myself
Enjoy!

He is on fire!
according to his page he has only been playing the guitar for about 6 -7 year (on his page it says 5.5 but its a couple of years old)
That is pretty amazing!

Yeah, Kimberly, he seems very good. And also he plays drums in his father band since childhood! Very interesting, he is a multi-talent!

Very sweet and mature.
Playing exactly what needs to be played
and no more. Not many 14 year olds can do that.
