Who is this fantastic young guitarist?

I have seen this guitarist on a couple of videos. Does anyone know who he is? He is a phenom.

Isn't the answer on the page? Anyway, here is a good article about him I saw in the New York Times (Registration Req'd).

This guy is certainly a great guitarist. However, I can't help but feel he gained his fame from a rendition of a song that JerryC actually arranged. JerryC originally posted his version of Canon online which prompted multiple copycats. This guy is one of those.

JerryC's website.

He credits JerryC in the opening.

I am embarrassed that I did not scroll down the page and see the bio of the guitarist. Thanks so much. My face is red.

previously - note the confusion between funtwo and JerrC in the post itself gets resolved in the comments

Your favourite fantastic guitarist sucks! I loathe Pachelbel's Canon in D.

But this version is almost tolerable.

I was taught a sweep-picking version of this piece for electric guitar in 1988, along with the Circle of Fifths and Circle of Fourths, so I do not think that anyone who claims YouTube priority is going to be the first word on the topic.
