I watch a show on youtube called Acoustic Tuesday.Today,the host ran through a list of players that are known primarily as electric guitar players and were rarely caught on video playing acoustic.I've seen a clip of Stevie Ray Vaughan on acoustic playing,I think it was Pride And Joy but Tony featured a video I'd never seen of Stevie playing a '29 Gibson L1 in France that is pretty amazing. And there is this one from his Unplugged episode. We can't forget Hendrix. This Johnny Winter is on acoustic resonator. I haven't dusted off the old solid body electric and fired up the Delta Blues in quite some time as I play acoustic at home,in jams locally and at a friend's coffee shop in another town.I guess you could say I live and breath acoustic guitar.If I had a dump truck full of money I'd have a warehouse full of bikes,cars,trucks and guitars. | ||

Fireboltwillie,Prince is not my cup of coffee but I'll give him props for his guitar playing and I didn't know he played much acoustic. | ||

Trying to convince my honey to go on a date to see Tommy Emmanuel in March. Might just drag her there with me. | ||

I've not seen Tommy E. live but looking at the video of him on Woodsongs and some other sites it looks like he puts on a hell of a show. | ||

Buellish, This thing gets rid of all the excuses for not playing the electric at home. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects /blackstar-fly-3w-guitar-combo-amp/j12362000000000 ?rNtt=blackstar%20fly%203&index=6 Just plug into it and play. G | ||

I've been to see Tommy Emmanuel twice. Definitely go and see him if you can, you won't be disappointed. | ||

How can you guys forget Mark? Mary Spender does some great gear videos as well - this chick rocks. She does a few numbers with Leo, and her version of "Fast Car" is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=MARY+ SPENDER | ||

Greg,it isn't a question of difficulty or making excuses.I have the Delta Blues and a Fender Acoustasonic 150 set up and ready to use in the same room as my guitars.The reality is that I don't have much interest in playing the solidbody anymore.I played electric for over 30 years in bands and that has lost it's appeal.   | ||
