I am looking at to come up with some sort of formula to my posting but Top Ten lists seem to be popular with everyone so here is some of my favorite acoustic performance. Let me know what your thoughts on these or your favorites in the comments.
1. Waltz For Richard - First Aid Kit
I love these girls. They are a sister acoustic act from Sweden. They have a band play with them live but this from back when it was just the two of them. I highly recommend checking them out.You may know her from her song "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree" or "Suddenly I See" used in multiple commercials. This video shows her having fun with a loop pedal. I have been messing around with a loop pedal lately and its harder than it looks.
3. Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed - Jerry's Breakdown.
Two of the greatest guitar players of all time throwing it down. If you don't know who these people are you need to make a point to learn.
4.Bruce Cockburn - If I had a Rocket Launcher - I used to love this song in the 80's despite its very dark subject matter. On acoustic guitar it takes on an entirely different persona.
5.Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run - It is always a challenge to take a song heavy on orchestration and turn it into a solo acoustic number. This is a good example of doing that. It keeps the essence of the original while reworking it into something new.
