Favourite Acoustic Guitarists

[Rudi]

Favourite Acoustic Guitarists - with Music!     also can we stick with one example per post? long lists are too much to take in.

 

I'll start with one of my prime influences.

Bert Jansch

with unaccompanied instrumental Chambertin

[TCgypsy]

You said acoustic, and this includes classical guitar!

Julian Bream, one of the best of ALL time.

 

Peace,

TC

Where is everyone on this topic? Since I sorta cheated pulling out Julian Bream on classical guitar I will post another for standard acoustic.

Michael Hedges

Michael Hedges "Aerial Boundaries"

Excellent contributions! Looks like its just thee 'n me for now though.

Michael Chapman: He informed my earliest acoustic playing in 1970

Sorry if this is too dark, but he's kind of like that often

For me, maybe younger and much less the musician than y'all, Lindsey Buckingham and Never Going Back Again was the first picking style song that really, really, really sunk into my core awareness of "I love that guitar".  I loved the whole album and all, but this song is still a favorite of mine.

Jimmy Page

 

There is a magic within his acoustic playing. His timing is lyrical not mechanical.  Carlos Santana was once asked of all his contemporaries which guitarist did he admire most.  The answer Jimmy Page. He creates mansions with chords

This Guy --- 

Hiroshi Masuda

 

 

 

Of all the "one man band" fingerstyle guitarists I've heard over the years he still tops the list.  He lives in a very small apt in Japan and makes his money performing live in coffee shops.

John Martyn

Nice contributions!

 

I posted this link elsewhere (I love the tune) and is a superb fingerstyle arrangement of Brazil by young Ary Barroso

 

originally 'Aquarela do Brasil' which means 'A Watercolour of Brazil'
