Whether it's doing shows in India with guitar hero Greg Howe, touring the States incessantly with JGB (formerly the Jerry Garcia Band), performing with DJ Spooky and the Oakland Symphony, being a writer and editor for Guitar Player magazine, or performing on the Tonight Show with singer/actress Kristin Chenoweth, Jude Gold has always been game for adventure involving the guitar. His most exciting and fulfilling guitar adventure yet has been his appointment as the Director of the Guitar Program here at Musicians Institute. To check out his iconoclastic "spank guitar" style, be sure to go online and watch the video for his full-contact rock treatment of the disco classic, "Funkytown."

Is this still considered 'iconoclastic'?

Amazing performance, but nontheless nothing I've never seen before.

I've been working on that technique for about a year. Joey Eppard inspired me.

aww, i was hoping for an instructional video on how to play Funky town. instead I got a vid of a girl on a swing, and a dude in an alleyway... (though I won't bash his tapping skills, for they are legit).

also how the hell does iconoclastic apply to this? iconoclasm is the destruction of religious symbols....
