Maybe someone who can play the guitar (or at least is knowledgeable with playing instruments) can help me? Currently, one of my favourite artists is Seasick Steve. What I want to know is whether he is actually a talented guitarist or whether playing a three string or one string guitar is merely a gimmick that anyone with a smattering of skill can do.

I STARED OUT WITH NOTHING Normal six-string guitar.

DOGHOUSE BOOGIE Three string guitar.

ONE STRING DIDLY BO One string guitar.....thingy :

Regardless of any answers, I will still continue to enjoy his music

It's easy as long as you can play and SSS can play, tuning will help too.
He plays banjo too, doncha just hate people who make it look that easy.
Seasick Steve The Banjo Song on 'Later with Jools'
Another mob that make it look/sound easy are The Black Keys, helluva noise for just 2 guys.
The Black Keys - The Breaks
The Black Keys - Have Love Will Travel

Wow, thanks Grymm. Never heard of The Black Keys before but I'll be looking out for more in the future!
