Monte Montgomery

I've never seen anyone play acoustic like this.
Be sure to check out the clips of him playing Little Wing, his version of Romeo and Juliet is crazy too.

That's amazing. *braces self* But honestly I don't like the Little Wing nearly as much as Jimi. The acoustic is much too twangy with that type of music for my taste. Jimi Hendrix + Acoustic/Country =

 

[rextrade]

Wow.

 

[Nuxius]

Haven't heard him in a while.

Yeah, Monte's great with a acoustic guitar.

 

[wali]

That was horrible.

I'll agree that the quality of the recording isn't great, and he isn't a great singer, but I think he is an excellent technical guitar player. He played little wing with authority, the other two people who I have heard do that are on most people's short list of great guitar players.

woah, that was sweet remilard.

anyone have a link to some leo kottke video?

I've never seen anyone actually 'bend' the neck of a guitar like that to do a dive. I'm surprised it comes back in tune and doesnt warp on him..

If you like that guy, check out Rhett Butler. He's fricken amazing on the guitar. I try and hit every one of his live shows in Austin.

It was a joke, nevermind
