In October 2004 he released a CD/DVD combo titled "Adapt". The DVD shows a live concert filmed in Boulder, CO, in the summer of 2004. Many clips from this DVD circulated on YouTube and have received well over twenty-one million views. Some of the more popular clips are Trace covering the Backstreet Boys song "I Want It That Way", and Pachelbel's Canon^[5] performed on an acoustic guitar using the fingertapping technique.
