Low C

Here's another candyrat genius at work, Erick Turnbull with "Low C". Definitely one of my favorite acoustic pieces, but there are so many! Sorry I don't have too much to write lately. That'll change. Hope you like the video..

Reality

After stumbling upon Andy Mckee, via Justin King, I fell onto this wonder. Without watching his videos it sounds as though two people are playing, but don't be deceived. Some of his techniques are revolutionary. Antoine Dufour, another former Canadian (Maneli Jamal), masterfully strings these compositions together. My absolute favorite if I had to choose would be Reality. Its soothing and entrancing at the same time. Hope you enjoy!

Always

Now here's a very unknown guitarrist I wanted to bring up. Sometimes I'll do mainstream, performers that are very well known, other times the opposite. I don't have too much to write about this one unfortunately, other than it's very melodic! Hope you enjoy.

In with the Purple and out with the Blue

Now, onto more exceptional guitar recommendations! Please let me know if you have any suggestions, as this blog is aimed at broadening the music scope of everyone included. So suggestions are welcome. Now, here is another one of the CandyRat kings at work. Craig D'Andrea, a young and very talented fingerstyle guitar player.

Break Free

After discussing a bit about Dave Matthews from the Tim Reynolds suggestion, I had to choose one of his songs to mention. Took me like an hour to choose because he's one of those artists (to me), that I absolutely love the chemistry of every one of his/their songs. But here's one that I don't think is very well known by the mass of Dave Fans. Its called Break Free.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I'm sure many of you are familiar with this song which was made by The Beatles, and was spectacularly performed in the movie "Across the Universe". I found Sungha Jung, a Korean child savant whilst picking through the fingerstylists on Youtube. From a young age, this player was able to just listen to a song, and be able to understand how to play it. Extremely clean and precise, all of his songs are top notch. This is one of my favorites of his cover compositions.
