Real guitar – and a cover of Metallica to boot…these two are absolutely incredible. They do a pretty good Stairway to Heaven as well…

Brian, Ottmar Liebert, one of my favs.

One of my favorite guitar duets – Knofler and Atkins

They cut an album together, Neck and Neck, which is a very easy listen.

While we’re on the subject of wooden music, I should not forget Acoustic Alchemy

Ok, I’ll jump in. No video, but check Micheal Schenker’s Thank You CDs sometime. They are really something. All acoustic, original.

Ciao

PS. This was very cool. Always liked Mediterranean Sundance.

Wow, killer stuff, everyone. Only got through the Brian’s and Eric’s but I’m going to watch the rest of it tonight.

If we’re going to get into acoustic guitar, you have to talk about the Master of Flatpicking – Tony Rice. A bluegrass legened who also paved the way for the “newgrass” movement blending jazz with bluegrass. Lots of YouTube videos available.

I heard Keaggy in concert about 30 years ago. He played “Flight of the Bumble Bee” as an interlude between the pieces he wrote himself. I was amazed then … that was about 10 years before the video included here, and I think that is 20 year old. He still plays.

Keaggy’s the best. My favorite is his song “Time”. Here it is on YouTube from a concert in 1980: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy8ZS8bxAuU

The best version I think was on a live concert album called “How the West was One” which he did with 2nd Chapter of Acts.

He’s known as “the guitarman’s guitarman” because it’s rumored Hendrix was once quoted as saying Keaggy was the best on the guitar he had ever heard. Keaggy crosses all guitar styles as well. He never gets old to listen to.

Think one of the most amazing things is that he does it all with just three fingers on his right hand. To be that good … that is amazing enough, but that good when he lost a finger in childhood? It is more than I can imagine.

It is insufferable (and will not long be suffered) to be lectured to and imposed upon by a ruling class that loathes our nation's history, values and accomplishments; by those who are not, in fact, our genuine betters.

Take it over and shut it down.
