Hi Ailsa,
I first heard him through a music snob who was such a fanatic that he wouldn't listen to anything with studio effects, multitracking or even overdubs. He gave me a cassette copy of one of Alex's early recordings as a sort of "here's-what-real-music-is-all-about-kid" kind of gesture. The copy got lost shortly after that, but when I started learning fingerstyle guitar years later, I saw references to some of Alex's albums and the track titles jogged by memory, so I bought a few of his CDs. The titles are "Slow Circle," "Turning: Turning Back" and "Deep at Night," all excellent albums, although the last is my favorite. He's one of very few guitarists who, IMO, is nearly on the same level as an average flamenco guitarist.

On the 1st vid, what's the name of the tecknik he uses at 1:30?
Just tapping the guitar. When you hit the strings like that, it sometimes makes harmonics.
