What say you @BigStewMan? https://www.musicradar.com/news/the-10-best-acoustic-guitarists-in-the-world-today Fine guitarists no doubt. i’m not sure what the criteria was (1) predominantly acoustic? (2) work done this past year?... Tommy E. does play a Telecaster too and I’m sure all these folks play electrics. That said, how then can someone like Steve Howe not be on this list? he does a lot of acoustic work. Can’t listen to The Clap or Mood for the Day and not be amazed at his acoustic play. Would have liked to see Doyle Dykes on the list too. I’ve even seen Guthrie Govan play an acoustic and it was pretty impressive. If this was an all-time list, I’d definitely have one of my top three players on this list -- Glen Campbell. Thanks for the link Jim, i like lists.

KlipschFish Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I always thought Leo Kotke was one pretty good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great guitarist! There are soooo many good players out there. I would add Sierra Hull to the list, although she is primarily a mandolinist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 What about Al DiMeola or Paco De Lucia or John McLaughlin or Earl Klugh or Pat Metheny....or...or....or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPower Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I was lucky enough to see Richard Thompson in October here in Toronto were he did a solo acoustic show that was amazing!!! The last time I saw him was about 6 years or so ago, also a solo show, but electric. He mostly played that pastel green... I think Fender. Unbelievable player, plugged in or acoustic.

joshnich Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I don't have any issues with the players on the list but would certainly have a different top 10 list of my own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Larry Carlton, Joe Walsh (and getting better with age), Stanley Jordan, Mark Knopfler, Carlos Santana, Frank Zappa...... What do two guitar players say when they meet each other? "Hi, I'm better than you." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidd Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Joe Walsh over reated , still , loved Rocky M W , eccellent album . The dude from Hee Haw , for got his name , plays country , very good , Roy Clark, that's it And then there's me 😀 Sorry , I think E Clapton is over rated , that's just my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidd Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 There are probably hundreds that are incredible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian May, Steve Howe, Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, David Gilmour. Oh yeah, i forgot about those two Brazilians dudes ... Los Indios Tabajares. If you’ve never heard them ... you must! They are incredible. Here’s two minutes that you won’t regret watching (if you appreciate the guitar). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codewritinfool Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I thought I posted this already but don’t see it:Monte Montgomery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Palmer Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I would add Phil Keaggy he’s mainly been in the Christian market. But he has some amazing instrumental albums both electric and acoustic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT FAN Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Glad to see my man Richard Thompson get his well deserved respect. Notice my avatar? One of the greatest guitarists of any genre on either acoustic or electric. I have seen him over 50 times and he never fails to impress on many levels. I would add to the chorus of respect for the great Leo Kottke, who I think is the best American acoustic guitarist and has been for many years. Where's Tony Rice? That man is another monster player.
