    That is some mighty fine guitar playing. I also like how under-produced the sound is and actually miss hearing that acoustic guitar string rattling sound on modern, over-produced stuff. That's why I tend to like live performances more than studio stuff since the extra background noise and imperfections add an interesting extra layer to them.

      Leo Kottke is a treasure, I tell you. Two more of my favorite tracks of his: The Driving Of The Year Nail Vaseline Machine Gun

        Ooh, I really like Vaseline Machine Gun. He has a ton of stuff on Spotify too, which is nice. I'm curious if you have ever heard Ewan Dobsen? He is a more contemporary acoustic guitarist but one...

        I'm curious if you have ever heard Ewan Dobsen? He is a more contemporary acoustic guitarist but one of my favorites. Some good songs by him are Paganini's Hip, Time 2 and Motion Potion.

        Dobson is also on the same label (candyrat records) as Andy McKee who is a fantastic polyphonic acoustic guitarist that you might recognize as he has had several songs go extremely viral over the years.

        Incidentally, Candyrat is a great place to look for amazing Guitarists of all genres too BTW... if you're into that as much as I am. :)
