Intense Acoustic Fingerpicking
April 20th, 2006
Although I mostly listen to hard-hitting metal bands, every once and a while I like to kick back and listen to some mellow tunes. When Crosby Still’s and Nash won’t cut it I like to slap in something from these artists. If you play guitar, or even if you don’t, I’m sure you’ll be able to appreciate the acoustic talent these players have.
One of my favorite acoustic albums is Friday Night in San Francisco, which is a live jam session with John McLaughlin, Paco De Lucia, and Al DiMeola. It really has some great guitar playing.
Check out these guitarists for some great acoustic music:
Jesse Cook
Strunz and Farah
Eric Clapton - Unplugged
James Taylor
Al DiMeola
John McLaughlin
Paco De Lucia

hi
i suggest looking into some of my fave guitarists such as martin simpson, martin carthy. both play acoustic folk. they do some complex fingerpicking patterns incorporating vocal melody in to their guitar playing. although they like alternative tunings! i always wished there were some tab tho. nont easy to learn by ear or notation! hardly any books on their material.

DiMeola has been a long time favorite of mine. His playing amazes me. Glad to see someone else that appreciates his talents and abilities.

[…] To add on to my previous post about intense finger picking guitarists, here are some songs that I have learned over the years. It didn’t take me very long to come up with this list and I think that is because they are the ones that I play time and time again just because they are so much fun. Some of them aren’t even that hard, but will make you look like a guitar god. They are all very unique and it baffles my mind when thinking about what had to go into creating such an original song. Specifically Blackbird is a very simple yet creative piece of guitar writing. […]
