Dig this amazing South African spoon-in-mouth slide guitarist

Thanks to the always-excellent Instagram feed of intrepid musicologists Dust To Digital for introducing me to guitarist Hannes Coetzee of South Africa's Karoo region. His spoon-in-mouth slide guitar technique is called "optel and knyp," Afrikaans for "picking up and pinching."

Coetzee was featured in David Kramer's 2004 documentary Karoo Kitaar Blues about the history of folk music traditions across South Africa.
