Not a whole lot of space devoted to acoustic guitars here, or players who can be mind-blowing without playing leads or using amplifiers, for that matter. So post 'em all here. :)


To begin, Check out Antoine Dufour. Canadian dude - AMAZING. He played in my hometown a few days before I showed up for my vacation, I was so bummed I missed it.
Great technique and killer compositions. He's pretty much my new hero. ;)

Got a feeling this might turn out to be my favorite thread.

Too bad Ed doesn't play acoustic any more.

I remember reading about a company a while back that manufactured a capo that allowed you to clamp any combination of strings while leaving others free. I've never seen one, nor could I find a reference to any mention of the device. I wonder if this is one of those devices? The video is so blurry in places I'm having difficulty viewing the darned thing. :(

I wouldn't call this guy a shredder, as in places it's very difficult to describe just what it is he does. For the uninitiated, the incomparable Michael Hedges...
