Title: Insane Acoustic Guitar
Post by: Gunslinger on April 12, 2008, 07:45:51 PM

Saw this at LGF and was blown away.  It's worth listening to all 9 minutes or so.

 Impressive playing, but a little of that goes along ways for me. Never been into music where the guitar does that type of playing throughout the song.

That a ghastly guitar sound he has going there.

I firmly believe that technical excellence in an instrument ruins music.

Technical proficiency is all that is required to create a truly excellent piece of music. Over-playing detracts from the music.

This is something of a general comment as I didn't watch much of that clip. The guitar sound made it difficult for me to listen to.

I have never liked acoustic guitar, though. Some classical stuff is alright.... folky nylon string stuff... but other than that...It doens't do anything for me.

possibly....but not likely.  Monte was voted one of the top 50 guitar players of all time by Guitar Player magazine readers.  I've been playing for 28 years and I can tell you that he is a virtuoso.  Check out 'Six String Wooden Friend' which he played at the NAMM show last year, or 'When Will I' from his Austin City Limits performance.
