Off Topic Acoustic Guitarists, who floats your boat..

Another blast from my past. Remember the "Contemporary Guitar Sampler Album"? 4 misicians on there I followed, Renbourn, Jansch, Mctell and Giltrap (I play a Giltrap signature as my Accoustic guitar of choice), sadly 2 of them no longer around

 

Saw James Taylor last year in Manchester - one of my favourite folk rock acts. Fantastic with the acoustic guitar

Saw the Eagles around 4 years ago too and they were immense as well!!

And, of course, Seasick Steve - although not acoustic he's ****ing immense!!

 

If you want to improve your playing here is a workshop in two parts.

 

Tommy Emmanuel, loads on the tube here's a few

 

Well, if we're on about learning stuff, this is what I'm currently struggling to play (I'm rubbish though):

 

This chap`s a bit decent.

He uses DADGAD tuning and judicious use of the tuning pegs.

Too clever by half I reckon.

Class, unusual guitar as well

 

I`ve no idea what that is. Hand built job I think.

Bending 2 strings at a time with his pinky is a bit much like.

 

Enjoy, Steve Howe is worth the ticket money alone....see it he gets annoyed when fans start clapping out of time....or if they sing the wrong words....and Jon Davidson is good...not Anderson but good, treats the songs with respect.

Not sure who is replacing Chris Squire....hell of a job.

 

Agree ..

Seen yes about 3 times now since 73 so good to be able to spin time back. Steve Howe is probably one of the most underrated guitarists ever along with Martin Barre..

 

Tommy Emmanuel is great, quite the showman check out Mombasa

but my all time favourite is Michael Hedges
