The Acoustic Thread

That Ibanez guitar sounds absolutely terrible. Really thin and trebly, almost no sustain. I suppose it suits this style of playing & music well as it is easy to get it over the top of the mix. And playing that fast, you need attack & not sustain.

Here's something entirely opposite: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmiWlMJiq1s

Hey he's trying to make granddad guitars cool again!

I watched a minute of one of his videos once. I'd like that minute back please, I thought it was fucking dreadful.

Someone sent me a Polyphia video to watch and I genuinely thought they were trolling me with one of those “[insert band] shreds” videos.

Here's one just for you Jeremy




And isn't he just so dreamy

[jeremyb]

He is dreamy but no thumb tapping or sweep picking going on

No thumb tapping, but plenty of percussive action!

This would be so good in isolation. It's just that I love the album version of this song so much, that anything else grates a little.

I heard this one first, before the album version, right at the beginning of my rekindled love of acoustics. At the time I was also discovering acoustics other than dreadnoughts and classical. It kinda stuck with me.

Me??? Started what??? I never touched him...

Ironically, this thread has reminded me of just how awesome Justin Hawkins is (see JB's last post above), so now I'm listening to The Darkness and Hot Leg on repeat. Not much acoustic guitar in that, but wow it makes me smile.

I don't have the most eclectic taste in music. That video of Justin Hawkins' channel was quite enjoyable, and now I have another bunch of stuff to discover!
