Members gitnoob Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 Kottke and Clapton inspired me to get an acoustic, so I've got to give them credit, although Kottke rarely sings and Clapton rarely plays solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitar_goob Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 Kottke and Clapton inspired me to get an acoustic, so I've got to give them credit, although Kottke rarely sings and Clapton rarely plays solo. I had to buy his unplugged album twice because I lost it! That one definitely propelled me further in my playing and style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Christhee68 Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 I always liked Neil Young's "Old Man." After seeing that video, I like it even more. I did notice it looked like he had the lyrics taped to the top (side) of his guitar. I thought I was the only one who did that! Also after watching these videos, I realize how much I suck. I feel ashamed for taking people's money to play at their wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Howie22 Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 In this category, I'm going to have to say James Taylor. I think guys like Dylan and Prine are great songwriters, but don't sing or play nearly as well as JT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
