Staind\'s version of AIC\'s Nutshell
Im really not a fan of Staind. But these seem to be decent covers. |

| Yeah Unplugged is a pretty loose term, but considering that keeping the volume at a level you can record or listen to live when you have a drummer ya need a little amplification. I like the effects and sounds of the amplified acoustic guitar it still sounds acoustic and the bass player really needs amplification as well when your playing acoustic with a few guitars to be heard at the right level.
I am glad to report that some of the things I have been trying are beginning to take hold around here. My area has been kinda blasted with the same classic rock band set lists for years and even the cheap bar owners who are willing to find the cheapest band possible no matter how bad they may be, are starting to look for new choices.
Very Cool! |

I guess I was just being a curmudgeon. I'm getting to that age.
Back to my lair. |

Location: Chicago | When Paco, John and Larry Coryell did "Meeting of the Spirits" acoustically, I felt like I had discovered a whole new tune; sort of Mediterranean in feel... Check it out! |

Location: Round Rock, TX | I was watching the blu-ray of Yes: Live at Montreaux a few days ago. Not their best concert ever put on disc, but Steve Howe did an solo acoustic guitar version of To Be Over (from their Relayer album) that was worth the price of the disc all by itself. Lord, that man can play. |

On YouTube, there are several fantastic videos of Steve playing acoustic. In particular, check out these split screen clips of the master playing two of his signature songs:
Steve Howe - Clap
Steve Howe - Mood for a Day
What amazing technique - virtually flawless!
