It’s not incredibly difficult to play the guitar in the finger-tapping style, possibly most popularized by Eddie Van Halen, copied by hair-metal acts in the years to follow and then later adopted by math-rock nerds. It is, however, very difficult to do it confidently and inventively and avoid the maneuver sounding too much like a gimmick. If a musician achieves this, on stage it’s pretty overwhelming. (Every time I see Maps & Atlases I start to panic, in the most positive way you could imagine.) New York City artist Marnie Stern released her debut “In Advance of the Broken Arm” (Kill Rock Stars) in 2007 to wide acclaim—her complicated song structures and virtuoso guitar-playing landed her on Venus’ list of best female guitarists of all-time. As impressive as the record is, it was only a hint at what Stern could achieve—her new record, the exhaustingly titled “This is It and I am It and You are It and So is That and He is It and She is It and It is It and That is That,” again on KRS, features one mind-bender after another, aggressive prog-punk jacked to the max. Stern invites you into her warm, humble home and once the door’s closed kicks you in the nuts. The finger-tapping is used not as a guitar-solo technique, but to build foundations for songs; it’s like, if you base your songs with complete insanity, where the hell do you think they’re gonna go? Stunning work from beginning to end. (Tom Lynch)

What’s Lost Is Profound: A Preview of Ryley Walker at The Empty Bottle Most of the tracks from Dave Matthews’ unreleased album have long been accessible online, and it’s revelatory to hear, for instance, Walker’s more nuanced take on “Grace Is Gone,” the rhythmic sophistication and jazz-infused sax line he brings to “Big Eyed Fish,” and his hauntingly beautiful vocals on “Grey Street."- Riding a Wave of Buzz: A Preview of U.S. Girls at Empty Bottle This could be the last chance to catch indie contender Meghan Remy at a midsize club like the Bottle, as her growing buzz and sound will inevitably bring her to larger venues.

They’ve edited their material into engulfing sing-alongs that’ll thrill audiences at small clubs (like the Empty Bottle this month), but that wouldn’t be out of place on…
