Biography
(from https://www.tradebit.com)
Austrian born Thomas Leeb plays a style he calls ''the bastard child of acoustic fingerstyle''. This style owes as much to percussive techniques as traditional fingerstyle guitar as his tunes are usually punctuated by slaps, pops and beats. Adding to the overall effect is his frequent use of ringing harmonics. The resulting blur of busy hands and fingers has to be seen to be believed.
His repertoire consists of self-penned numbers, traditional tunes and occasional covers such as Guns ''n'' Roses'' Sweet Child O'' Mine and Bob Marley''s I Shot The Sheriff.
Leeb released his first album, the now out of print Reveller, as a precocious 17 year old. However, his unique style didn''t come into full force until his 1999 album Riddle. He has since released two further albums Spark in 2004 and Upside Down in 2005.
Along the way he has picked up a number of influential fans such as Eric Roche who was his guitar teacher, "for about five minutes and then I heard him play" and Guthrie Govan who thinks that "what Thomas does on an acoustic guitar probably shouldn''t be legal.".
