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?
 
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.
 
Go ahead and flame me fuckers...
but Zakk Wylde is an amazing on the acoustic. Songs like Farm Fiddlin' and cool version of MachineGunMan from Headbangers Ball awhile back...check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOv0a119E4o

he shreds some shit on the acoustic on this one:

Not going to flame you.. but Zakk Wylde? :lol: ... 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...
 
Well No Fucking Shit its not bout' shredding...and he's way abouve amateur. Give credit where credit's due. Zakk is the man.

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):

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.
