[I know there are other examples, but damned if I can think of one! ...I just woke-up] |

but Mason Williams version doesn't make me crazy and doesn't motivate me to play 4 hours on guitar- after coming back from 10h/day work.
it's just my favorite;] |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Glenn - I was playing around with it for awhile today. It really is such a pleasure to play all of those fingerpicking songs that I'm having such a hard time with on the steel strings. It's got a nice balanced sound unplugged. I like it alot. If I didn't just pick up the Country Artist, I might have been reluctant to send it back. I did strip out the old electronics. I should've tried it plugged in for comparison sake. Oh well. I'll send them out to Jason on monday.
Next step... RotoZip.
Be afraid... be very afraid :eek: |

Location: New South Wales, Australia | I've got the Hell Freezes Over DVD Randy and I love that version as well. Don Felder makes it look so easy but I don't know if he gets a lot of respect...at least down here.
When I mention him as one of my favourite guitarists a lot of people say "Don who??"....and that's even from Eagles fans. Mention Don Henley though, and they know all about him. |

Not technically aggressive, but when asked what I think acoustic guitars should sound like that's the track that always comes to mind. How did I forget that one. Good choice, Dave!
A few more I just thought of;
Blackwater - Doobie Bros
Seagull - Bad Co.
Never Going Back Again - Fleetwood Mac |
