Solo acoustic guitar (For the most part...electirc and steel guitar on some songs).

Bitch has a really cool style...unlike alot of solo acoustic guitar music its not all New Aged out or boring as fuck. Its actually fun to listen to.

She has some uptempo shit and some slower shit on both CDs

Kaki King - Everybody Loves You



Kaki King - Legs To Make Us Longer









Weekend Edition Sunday, November 21, 2004 - Acoustic guitarist Kaki King honed her unusual fingerstyle technique playing in New York City subway stations. She does amazing things with the simple six-string: she slaps the wood, rubs the strings and hammers her fingers over the frets. In short, she treats her guitar like a percussion instrument, creating a sound that one reviewer describes as "somewhere between funk and flamenco."

Bah.

It was hard to find more good (non-long) reviews.

Anyways, give both albums a chance.

P.S. Her new album (Until We Felt Red) is the semi-suck.

Her newest album is kinda lame.

She sings and plays more instruments and its kinda...ehh.

She writes amazing lyrics like "you dont have to be afraid of the pain inside you" and "yellow stars shine"

Thanks for the links, I downloaded both of them, but in the end after skimming the surface on both of them, I like the second one better, it seems a lot faster then the first one, but yeah, as a guitarist, she's sort of an inspirational thing now, for me at least.
