Well worth posting then lol.

I bought his album as soon as I heard it too.

[tuscaneer]

guys like that just jump out at me.i had the electric shock moment when i first heard vicente amigo at expo '92 in spain.i had it when i first heard stanley jordan do eleanor rigby.michael hedges doing ariel boundaries.and now this,good call mate!! i've(obviously)never heard of him before but looking at how many hits his youtube vids have had ,...where have i been hiding??

No acoustic thread can be complete without mentioning the great Tommy Emmanuel

[tuscaneer]

i don't mind emmanuel don't get me wrong but he seems to span too many styles and subsequently doesn't settle well into any of them.good call though.


here is the vicente amigo song that started it all off with my obsession for flamenco back in 92

And there was me thinking you'd appreciate a bit of Death Country.

What about a bit of acoustic trance?
