+'''Zack Kim Yong Woon''' or '''Zack Kim''' is a Korean guitarist.
-'''Zack Kim Yong Woon''' 	(born May 5, 1983), or simply, '''Zack Kim''' is a [[Koreans|Korean]] [[guitarist]] who has become known for his mastery of technique called “[[free hands]]”, which involves [[tapping]] the [[guitar]] strings with both the left and right [[hands]] simultaneously. Many guitarists apply free hands to one guitar, but Zack frequently performs on two; his left hand playing one guitar while his right hand plays the other, which is like playing the piano on the guitar but with added difficulty of fretting the correct notes. His arrangements include a range of styles, from [[Classical music|classical]] to [[jazz]], as well as quirky arrangements of tunes such as the theme song from the [[Super Mario Bros.]] video game.
+==Sources==
-Zack is currently serving in the Korean Army. While serving in the military, he was on a talent show in South Korea, Star King, with his free hands skill.
-==Free Hands guitar style==
-"[[Free Hands]]" is a unique way of playing guitar with both hands, invented by [[Emmett Chapman]] in 1969. Many people credit [[Stanley Jordan]] with popularizing the technique, which involves “tapping” the strings with both the left and right hands' fingers aligned with the frets. This method is different from tapping with the right hand parallel to the strings as done by [[Eddie Van Halen]], for example. While many guitarists apply this technique to one guitar, Zack has developed a virtuosic way of playing two guitars. His left hand will play one guitar, while his right hand plays another.
