Hey,

I'm just getting into fingerpicking. Love this:

YouTube - NAUDO Hotel California ( Eagles ) p/ Ana Délia

Also this MI2 version:
YouTube - mission impossible theme

And if anyone's seen Cinema Paradiso I've never heard this played on the guitar before but I'm loving it!!
YouTube - nuovo cinema paradiso guitar tribute

Does anyone know of any artists that play similar stuff ?

Thanks

Oh...I thought you were going to say how you nabbed the DCC or MFSL version of the album Hotel California.

You should check out some classical guitar from Andrés Segovia, John Willams,Dr. Lily Afsharand,Ana Vidovic,and more music like theirs.. You might even like Esteban.

Haha no sorry to disappoint you... was just excited to rediscover a lot of my favorite music reinterpreted on one of my favorite instruments the guitar.

Thanks chef8489, will check out some of the guitarists you posted (have already heard some of them).

However, what I really like is that the guys I posted play both the rhythm/bass + vocals at the same time on the guitar - extremely difficult IMHO from my experience as a guitarist (admittedly advanced-amateur). You'd normally need two guitar players playing together (that too two really good ones) to come close to the final sound that is created.

I guess I was looking at the music from a technical perspective of playing difficulty as well as the feel and arrangements these guys have created to play these familiar songs this way.

I can see your point. I guess like all music its a matter of taste whether you like the interpretation. Frankly now thinking back the reason this version of Hotel California kinda blew me away was more from a technical perspective of the degree of difficulty involved to play. But I still like it from a musical perspective too

The best versions are ones from when Don Felder is still in The Eagles. Felder wrote the music for Hotel California (Henley only wrote the lyrics) and is one of the best guitarists out there, better than the guy they replaced him with. For me, Hotel California just isn't the same without Felder. The Eagles took a step down without him, as well.

The XRCD version of "When Hell Freezes Over" is undoubtedly to my ears the finest recording of this album. I must admit I have heard other cds of this title but not the Mofi version. I cannot imagine it being captured any finer than on the above mentioned format.

It is $39.95 at Accoustic Sounds currently, and worth every cent of it.

I bought the album when it first came out-I was a teenager. Enjoyed it but it didn't blow me away. Then two years ago I took a chance on the DVD Audio disk and would never part with it now. Years have taught me a new appreciation for it. And that's only with 8 songs. (I never could stand the preachiness of "The Last Resort"

)

$40 bucks for an album? Hot damn.

 

[Icarium]

Uh look up dcc/mfsl prices for the album.

It brought them right into my living room.

Look at what some folks pay for some of the DCC and mofi cds.
