    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.

    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.
