    Thumbs up The Acoustic Shred Thread

    Lately I've been listening to more acoustic guitarists like Antoine Dufour and Andy McKee, and will be in the market for a new acoustic after the holidays. So when a friend sent me this today it got me thinking we don't really have an acoustic-based music/gear thread going here. So here we go: I'll get to the aforementioned artists, but check out Jon Gomm.



    I love the way he and guys like Dufour and McKee also simultaneously use their guitars as percussion instruments, too. Just killer.

    Wink Oh, FFS!

    That's not a 3-necked acoustic he's "shredding" on, dammit!

    The OG kings of acoustic shred. Al DiMeola, Paco DeLucia, John McLaughlin.

    Don't know about you guys, but I get a major kick out of gypsy jazz... Ultra-reckless, and the best players play by ear/instinct.

    Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?
