quebec is a great place for acoustic stuff espacially in the 70's

Here's one the best bands ever: harmonium. And the album l'heptade and also les 5 saisons.

This is one of the best album ever writen! the shortest song is 9 minutes but I think you won't like it

tHere's a band more recent call "les cowboys fringants" which is great too.

I think folk music is great here and i think that's what we do best but there are so many things I could name.

Anyone heard Jim Matheos(Fates Warning guitarist) solo work? He has 2 classical/jazz albums. One of my favorite instrumentals is...

"Conference of Clouds" from "Away With Words"

Beautiful stuff.

For the Love of God and Boston Rain Melody (Steve Vai RULES)
Pictures Of You - The Cure

For the love of God is hardly acoustic, but one of the greatest solo guitar pieces ever !!

Pictures of you is one of my fav songs, as well as Disintigration.

 

[Luz]

I know, most of them aren't acoustic...but also they're great.
Disintigration is one of my fave records.
