I just discovered Laurence Juber - Pass the Buck, Last Train, and a whole lot of beatles arrange for fingerstyle... like his playing, melody over technique.

I used to be quite crazy about fingerstyle...Doyle Dykes, Michael Hedges all those.

I couldn't play it for nuts though, so I stuck to blues :lol:

But sometimes it's easy to forget where it all comes from, and when that happens, just go to youtube and type in Chet Atkins.

No 2 handed tapping, just good ole' melody and self-accompaniment.

Yeah... Chet Atkins too...

Hee hee I think I'm going through this phase right now...

Hmmm ... I don't have a favourite piece .... but i like Martin Taylor and Joe pass ... oh yes not forgetting George Benson ... he did a solo version of "Tenderly" .... he's a master. Chet and Tommy are grandmasters .... but not really into them.
