Let's start it with a doozy - these guys are out of this world! The electric pick-up drumming is amazing:

Along the humor lines, this Flight of the Conchords song is hilarious!

edit: Wilbeer, I dig the pedal steel guitar, backing harmonies are cool, and some great stuff in there.
Aeriq & somebodyanybody, that stuff is in a different league. Pretty gnarly. The Vicki Genfan one is fairly mind-blowing.

Yeah man, if Steve Earle and the Dukes come to town ,do not miss them.
They play with purpose and tone,I am sorry the recording up there was not better,because the playing was ,well ,outstanding.
Earle is a pretty good guitarist,but that Son Volt player ,Chris Masterson,just rips. As does the pedal steel dude.
Cheers wilbeer

Michael Hedges was a revolutionary, lucky to have seen him live. The modern acoustic guitarists I'm following are Antoine Dufour, Eric Mongrain, Jon Gomm, anyone on the Candyrat label, really. Gomm released a series of instructional videos on youtube if you want to learn his unique percussive technique. Meanwhile here's Beethoven's fifth played by the young Marcin Patrzalek.

This guitar I proudly own now thanks to Johntp and Mark Blanchard. If you play guitar and can ever get your hands on a Blanchard guitar, by all means do it! They are works of art, play like a dream, sound like nothing else and make you play the guitar more from the sheer joy of what they are. I wish the video focused more on details of the guitar. Mark’s attention to detail is impeccable. The pua inlay is ALL perfectly matched in the rosette and fret board inlay, with incredible colors in different light. The sound boards tight grain and “clawing” is gorgeous, even the smell of the madagasgar rosewood is mindblowing. Yeah sometimes I just pick up the guitar...stick my nose in the sound hole and take some deep breaths.....eKat will get it,
Thank you John, Mark and eKat!
Peace
Disclaimer edit: not me playin’ it
First shot is of Mark presenting the Pinyon named Wil in Yosemite Valley after the Bridwell Memorial. Second shot, the same day playing Wil in El Cap Meadow for my buddy Jim. The look on my face says it all...pure bliss

Eric, yeah, I use to listen endlessly to DiMeola and Paco De Lucia in the 70’s&80’s. Some incredible stuff and check them out with John McLaughlin.
Peace

So, just a crazy story. Before I left Bellingham, I dated a woman who was an almost-deaf finger-pick guitar instructor.
She would hold the guitar to her body and could feel the vibrations, and had just enough sound awareness to pick up stuff within a few feet.
Her skill was amazing, and she could read lips like a normal conversation.
My wife and I used one of her pieces for our procession ceremony at the Yosemite chapel - wish you were there 'Becca...

Thanks all who are posting some amazing music here! Just when I was lamenting the state of pop music, I see how much the music industry has fragmented and exploded in myriad pieces, some of which are incredible.
I saw this tour live in San Diego in about 1993. Just neil, a stool, a guitar, and harmonicas most of the night except this song he busted out the acoustic organ. Only heard the epic distorted version before seeing this live, and it stunned me:

There were two girls I liked that I went to this concert with. I started with two tickets somewhere in the back, bought the third ticket in the second row! But I hung back to stay with the ladies for most of the show if not all. Priorities! But I loved how he took his harmonicas after each song, dipped it in a bucket of water, and flung the water across the stage.
Damn, that seems like a lifetime ago. Some good times. Amazing how life keeps going and it feels like I have lived multiple lives and more to come. I could have done a lot worse on this trip in the flesh.
