Tom's Pasta Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 Anyone recommend any good artists who play predominantly fingerstyle acoustic guitar. Been playing for nearly a year and I have really improved, but I need some music to learn which suits my style. Really into Jack Savoretti at the moment but he's the only one I've found who really suits my style.
Callabinho Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 Right, sit back son. Firstly Thomas Leeb http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhsPYRUqphk - Turn this up full blast on some good cans. Tommy Emmanuel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENJuNCkPfx0 Eric Johnson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebLaXvkPRR4 Steve Howe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ZmIFR4Sc0 A few contemporary guys. Also I suggest you check out some of the Classical/Jazz guys, to help. Paco De Lucia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j48AShur35A John williams http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfRLMopjDKA And the legendary Joe Pass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkinLvUrUYE Hope they help!
Tom's Pasta Posted 11 May 2014 Author Posted 11 May 2014 Mate, thank you so much! I'll definitely check them out, Thomas Leeb and Joe Pass are the only two I recognise from the list (think I need some education on guitar history). Do you play yourself?
Lionator Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 Nick Mulvey is a fairly new artist who does a lot of finger-picking that's easy to replicate.
Tom's Pasta Posted 11 May 2014 Author Posted 11 May 2014 Nick Mulvey is a fairly new artist who does a lot of finger-picking that's easy to replicate. Noted, thanks very much I'll check him out
Tom's Pasta Posted 14 May 2014 Author Posted 14 May 2014 Andy Mckee is immense Jesus, that's unbelievable! Don't think I can quite replicate that but thanks for introducing me to him
Tom's Pasta Posted 15 May 2014 Author Posted 15 May 2014 You could try this, looks pretty easy to me.... It's like playing whilst looking into a mirror, apart from the colourful dreadlocks
Guest Roper Posted 18 May 2014 Posted 18 May 2014 Jesus, that's unbelievable! Don't think I can quite replicate that but thanks for introducing me to him well worth checking out his other stuff he's top quality. on the opposite end of the spectrum is Jeff Pianki. Has some nice little runs and some gorgeous chilled out songs. Plus all his music is free on bandcamp. And as always its worth checking our Laura Marling absolutely stunning - plus she's pretty damn fit
separator Posted 18 May 2014 Posted 18 May 2014 Any excuse to put this live performance from Bon Iver on... superb song.

And Laura Marling is a right stunner, big fan of her stuff

Bellend Sebastian Posted 20 May 2014 Posted 20 May 2014 On holiday and internet barely working so unable to post videos but look at Burt Jansch and John Renbourne if they've not already been mentioned
Tom's Pasta Posted 21 May 2014 Author Posted 21 May 2014 On holiday and internet barely working so unable to post videos but look at Burt Jansch and John Renbourne if they've not already been mentioned Bert Jansch is possibly the best acoustic guitarist I've ever seen. I'm less familiar with John Renbourne though so I'll check his stuff out
Tom's Pasta Posted 21 May 2014 Author Posted 21 May 2014 Similar excuse to Seperator's Fantastic tune, sounds strangely familiar even though I don't recognise his name
Trav Le Bleu Posted 21 May 2014 Posted 21 May 2014 It was used for this commercial and shedloads of other incidental music.
Tom's Pasta Posted 21 May 2014 Author Posted 21 May 2014 Ah yes I'm fairly sure I recognise it from 'scrubs' as well. Thanks Trav Le Bleu!
WhatsHisName Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 I love this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqOdu2xjlBA
