Godly Acoustic Guitar Skills

[NinjaGeek]

Really enjoying awesome acoustic guitar playing right now especially Justin King. Anyone else love really skilled acoustic guitar by itself and know some other artists I should look into?

 

[challenge_everything]

I listen to some classical guitar like Andres Segovia, Ralph Towner etc.

Pierre Bensusan is a french acoustic guitarist who is releasing stuff since the 70s. He was a prodigy back then, so imagine how he plays now...

His music is good too, and that's difficult to find among virtuosos of any instrument.

Not going to flame you.. but Zakk Wylde? ... his acoustic skills are amateurish at best... and Acoustic playing is not about "shredding"...

Depends on what style of music on acoustic you want... classical wise I can name some composers... for example Nicolo Pagannini was a virtuoso on Acoustic as well as he was on violin...

Trust me.. he's a amateur since the age of 19 when he joined Ozzy lol.. if he weren't in Ozzy's band no one would give a shit about him...just because you make a living at playing guitar does not mean you are good... Zakk is the worst of Ozzy's guitarists.... here's real players (btw Randy Rhoads and Jake E. Lee played rings around Zakk):

The only reason why people know zakk wylde is because of that silly bullseye les paul.

^^ True.... I hate when he does all those pinch harmonics like it's his signature thing when Jake was doing those alot when he was in Ozzy's band before Zakk.

 

[Khaos_McDoom]

Rodrigo r Gabriela, not exactly 'Godly', but wicked music.

 

[Master_Shredder]

wow, how has no one hear mentioned Tommy Emmanuel? He is amazing, I think he is ranked third in the world for guitar playing. n/e ways check him out, some of his stuff is so fast it's hard to believe.
