I play alot of solo accoustic stuff, and I was wondering who anybody's favorite fingerstyle player is, mine is Michael Hedges, god of accoustic guitar, Don Ross, Chris Proctor, Preston Reed, of course Leo Kottke, and the amazing Kaki King.
i saw brian henke first probaly in 92. i used to see him a few times a year, very relaxing style, pretty cool to talk to too.
william ackerman Bert jansch john renbourn Keller Williams A couple others i forgot...ill post em again if i remember. This is my fave style of music. LEO KOTTKE IS GOD.
id also have to say some other impressive acoustic players (tho not really fingerstyle) would be bola sete, luis bonfa, or joe pass. They have that caribbean,brazillian, classical jazz feel that makes you feel like your on a beach.
tuck andress does have some REALLY cool shit. but he also has a lot of songs im not that big a fan of. Kaki King is awesome! Truly unique.
