Here is a little bit of a change of pace from past weeks great guitar videos as this week I will be featuring an acoustic guitar player (for the first time). This is an incredible video of acoustic guitar virtuoso Leo Kottke playing a medley of songs, Part Two, June Bug, Train And The Gate, from German TV sometime in the early 80’s. Watch this 12-string master tear it up with his slide and fingerpicking magic!
What a great video! Thanks for posting it. Leo Kottke and Phish’s Mike Gordon have put a couple of nice duo albums out in the past few years. They do a really interesting version of Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion” on the most recent one. It’s worth checking out.
Here is a video i just saw of Mike and Leo. You need to fast forward past the talking, then it gets juicy!
