I definitely agree, as amazing as Andy McKee and Tommy are, I personally feel Andy's music doesn't have the same type of soul and Tommy's music is just nice, but Kotaro combines skill, technique and heart in all his pieces.

Personally, I feel he is better than Andy Mckee, Tommy Emmanuel and all the other great fingerstyle guitarists, in overall terms of feeling and technique. Don't get me wrong, they are amazing guitarists too, but Kotaro Oshio is just.. unique.

Wonderful style and performance! Kotaro Oshio is outstanding. I wish he would do a concert tour in the US. 5* Thanks for posting! -Derek

Kotaro Oshio is an amazing player. He attacks the strings yet still maintain the clean composition of the song. This is fingerstyle at a new level in japanese melodies.
