Acoustic Guitar Appreciation Tihread

That's just beautiful ! They're actually playing MUSIC !

Bravo y Brava !! Thanks for the post UD.
 

I used to love listening to my son playing his acoustical guitar in his room as a teenager. Then he switched to the electric.
Electrification for me has been the death of what I call music. The simple instruments are just so much more human. The same with songs.
A soft voice singing understandable lyrics to an actual melody touches your humanity so much more than two or three words screamed repetitively at a volume that is actually painful, not to mention damaging.

Amplification is the key word there and i for one find beauty in it all. Been a rocker my entire life , maybe thats why im half deaf. Dont get me wrong , i really do appreciate the acoustic version of life sounds , but the harder edged stuff keeps me going as well.
 
I have several albums by an artist named William Ellwood, who used to be on the Narada label. He did some beautiful acoustic guitar pieces over the years. Here's a good piece from one of Renaissance CD. Highly recommended.

How lovely. I have loved Jeff Beck since my first Yardbirds LP. I would post "Jeff's Boogie" here but this is an acoustic thread. ;) If I were still in the folk Eucharist group at my former church I would invite him to come play this on Christmas Eve.

I hear you. ( pun intended ) :laugh: I think everyone always likes the music of their teen age years the best. I grew up during WWII and the songs written then still resonate with me. Of course because of the circumstances a lot of sentimentality over being separated.
