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

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:
[Click to View YouTube Video]
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.

I tuned my guitar down to B (5 semitones), with standard tuning, and had fun jamming in something that sounds pretty close. Incidentally, I figured out that suits my comfortable singing range much better and doesn't make me sound like a straining dying horse! Maybe I'll give more effort into trying to get some songs ready to sing for a campfire. But the fingering he's doing on the higher part doesn't make sense with standard tuning, or an open E or A shape. Look at that run
--------
--------
--------
---------5
-----5-7
-5-7----
That is standard tuning (except dropped pitch), but the higher riff (which can be played similar to this in standard tuning):
-9-7---9-7
-----8----8
--------
--------
--------
--------
Well it seems like he's playing something different? But then again, when he gets into the main backing for the vocals, it works out perfectly in standard tuning.
p.s. Woah, tablature mangling... another time I'll try to make an image of it.

Sorry GNome! I thought I was fast and nobody would notice. Then went power hiking up snowfields to climb on sunny rock for awhile and didn't look at this thread.. I did mention I love both covers of "Can't Find My Way Home" from you guys, one of those truly perfect songs in my book. I feel the same way about "Here Comes The Sun", about as perfect as a song can get for the genre in my book.
Hope a little Townes is good for this topic!

^^^ That’s cool. Love the low C string, and fun to noodle over.
Also enjoyed the ones from Antoine Dufour, Andrew White, and Mr. Whiskey Flask. Good stuff.
I tuned my guitar down to B (5 semitones), with standard tuning...
Try that with one of your electrics (11’s or 12’s), and a good dose of gain on your amp. It’s like a 7-string, but with the familiarity of a 6, and you can still play the same chords and scales that you are used to.

I think I'LL get right to it
I haven't looked to listen to more of this older set.
There isthis a 5-minute
"Vaseline Machine Gun" ::This was Leo's encore for the show.
"Vaseline Machine Gun was the first song he composed using slide".
[Click to View YouTube Video]
but haven't gotten around to checking it out yet.
In this, a recent performance of "June Bug"
A song composed while listening to a June bug stuck between a screen &(door sic)during a sudden thunderstorm...
Leo's opening, his ramble while tuning, is good and takes 3min & 23sec.
If you skip it,
(Do)
you don't miss much:
something about, German Baroque Lute strings.
 An instrument* that has a lot of strings, a set of 13 pairs.
So he is alluding to the time it takes to tune & what a chore that is.
Then, a comment that Italian strings are made from Lamb & preferred to German strings made from older sheep...
Ending with -There is no Slide when playing Lute- (*if you see a huge looking guitar-like thing on your "YouTube feed", that's not exactly it)

Seeing Leo Kottke reminded me of the most epic acoustic melange I ever witnessed. In college I saw the following 4 dudes play individually and masterfully, in pairs, and then all 4 together honoring their individual styles while weaving together a magical tapestry:
Leo Kottke (funky slide and his own style)
Paco Pena (flamenco)
Joe Pass (jazz)
Pepe Romero (pure strict classical)
It was during the last year of Joe's life. I found out about the show because my guitar teacher was Celine Romero, Pepe's brother.
I wonder if there are recordings around of that....
p.s. i-b-goB thanks for that Sultans of Swing! First few seconds I already had a smile on my face.

Hank ,that is some good stuff.
So , I went to the city one night to see the Allman Brothers Band.
A long trip from WNY. But low and behold they were in the city for 4 nights ,practicing for MTV,s unplugged.
I went to two of those shows,Warren Haynes and Dickey Betts were on fire. Man.

That's fantastic wilbeer! Before they had kicked Dickey out of the band too!!
Weird fact. MTV created unplugged after the MTV Music Awards in 1989. They invited Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora to play live. We all grooooaaaned soooo hard as hair metal was dead. Metallica and Guns and Roses hadn't even met Soundgarden yet so there was NO expectatitions for Bon Jovi and Ritchie whatsoever. They came out and did a fantastic acoustic Dead Or Alive that knocked evrybody's socks off. Suddenly if you couldn't do an acoustic set you weren't a real band!
I was fresh out of Ft. Benning and arrived in the 82nd Airborne in '89 so what did I know?

I remember my last day I needed the climbing gym. When I got home and picked up my guitar, my fingers were so sore I had to decide if I was gonna be a shitty climber or a shitty guitar player.
Guitar hurt less.
So now I miss climbing and play a Tele through a Tweed Deluxe in the the band Dead Country, with 18 Grateful Dead songs mixed with Stones, Rascals, Ry Cooder, Kinks, Merle Haggard, Bob Wills, Leon Russel and use the PRS guitar through a PRS amp with the blues band.
