Andrew Hardin who use to play with Tom Russell and many others. I think the CD is called Blue Acoustics. They even use an String Bass that is so unique.
Paco Delucia
Pat Metheny
Those are the 3 that stand out in my mind right now.
There are others. |
Bruce Cockburn
Antonio Forcione
Steve Howe
And last but not least
Eric Idle and his version of "Here comes the Sun" on Saturday Night Live |
Tiggerfc - Are you listening to an Internet radio station? If so, what's the URL? I also enjoy acoustic guitar and would love to find a great station that plays that type of music. I'm using a Squeezebox 3. Thanks. |
Non-classcial - Tony Rice
Classical Take your pick (Julian Bream, John Williams, C. Parkening) |
Michael Chapdelaine. Won the national fingerpicking championship on the steel string, and is a classical guitar professor at UNM. Incredibly musical Bach pieces and amazing arrangements of pop tunes.
Jesse Cook, for nuevo flamenco. like Otmar Liebert, except not boring.
Tony Rice is unsurpassed. |
Nice picks so far everyone. Thanks for posting.
Kenl... I have a Sonos player and I have Tommy Emanuelle in the title of the station so it just randomly picks things similar to it. I rarely ever have to skip a track. |
If Choro music considered classical than
ALESSANDRO PENEZZI is the king of all. Whoever doesn't believe should youtube him.
Non-classical I'd pick certainly Paco DeLucia. |
Martin Taylor.
Wes Montgomery.
Ali Farka Toure.
John Williams. |
Not classical but 75% of the responses haven't been either. Do yourself a favor and check out:
Tim Sparks - Mississippi Blues - The dude's like a blues playing Joe Pass. For that matter, pick up Joe Pass - Virtuoso, a solo recording so extraordinary that most people overlook that every tune save one is played on acoustic guitar! |
Pepe Romero
I promise you will not be disappointed and will most likely be amazed. |
A specific Pepe Romero album I would suggest is the Juoquin Rodrigo Conciertos, Pepe Romero, Los Romeros - Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields - Mariner, Rodrigo Joaquin (1901-1999)(PHILIPS)
3 disc set which is a phenomenal recording as well as an outstanding piece of music.... |
Chazro,
Lol! Yeah, well, it doesn't really matter as long as it is acoustic. Just an easy thread starter. Sorry if it is mis-leading in any way. Should have just written... "Favorite Acoustic Guitarist" instead. Next time. ;-)
Thanks for the inputs all. Keep 'em comin'. |
Alice Artzt (Hyperion, Meridian)
Diego Blanco (BIS, Swedish Society)
Mats Bergstrom (BIS, Proprius)
Peder Riis (Opus 3)
All are classical music performers on solo guitar. If you have a taste to explore lute and baroque guitar, let us know...

Davy Graham (synthesis of folk, blues, jazz, balkan, north african, indian, etc ...) |

From an amazing "sound" point of view on the vinyl format , Almeida has a recording on Crystal Clear Records that is both direct to disc *and* 45 rpm: Beatles arrangements and a work by an obscure Latin composer for percussion, guitar and solo Cello. The vinyl is white. |
