The Acoustic Thread

[SwindleThis]

A good acoustic song is a thing of beauty.

 

I particularly like acoustic guitar, especially blues slide.

 

There are so many instruments, and versions of songs that I though Acoustic deserved its own thread.

 

I'd like to get started with a bit of Andy Mckee - showy, slappy and a little self indulgent, but a great example of what can be done with a guitar.

 

Plus it's nice to listen to :)

...and finally five people doing a cover of something on one guitar, very clever.
