zombiewuff Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Have you ever seen artists that you might normally associate with electric/amplified bands play an all acoustic tour? I can think a few off of the top of my head that I have seen in the last few years: Peter Frampton, Joe Bonamassa, and Greg Allman (just a couple of months before he passed). All three shows were just incredible, and really forced you to look at their music in a new light. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I don't think Lemmy ever toured behind this recording (played with Phil Campbell), but it was most unexpected. 😐 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 This guy did electric primarily until the '80's(with one exception) and did acoustic on many levels...... And with this "all acoustic" band Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiewuff Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 I mainly know McLaughlin's work with the Mahavishnu Orchestra. The only later album I have of his is The Guitar Trio with Paco de Lucia and Al Di Meola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Larry Coryell also went through an exclusively acoustic period, about the same time as Mclaughlin and Shakti. It started very well with "The Restful MInd", a great album with Ralph Towner and I still have Coryell/Steve Khan "Two For The Road", which is the LP of their once-only acoustic tour. I saw that and Coryell/Mclaughlin/De Lucia at the Albert Hall in London which was one of the most exciting concerts I have ever seen, even though we were seated 'up in the gods'. But I gave up buying Larrys stuff after a couple more acoustic LPs, when he started recording Ravel's 'Bolero' and Stravinsky symphonies on acoustic. I've seen Mclaughlin many times, both acoustic and electric. I have tickets to see him in London next May. BTW.....Muddy Waters..."Folk Singer" LP.....

Sgt. Pepper Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Richard Thompson does all acoustic tours quite frequently. He was all acoustic the first and second time I saw him, the third was electric. Edited December 13, 2021 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then this 1970 collaboration might be of interest....? W/ John McLaughlin Not all tracks with John, but this is one and acoustic.

jdgm Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) I still have my original Vanguard LP of "Spaces"! A great album which sounds good even now - over 50 years later! Oh yes! Edited December 13, 2021 by jdgm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themarkwilkinso Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I have a silly question in regards to this thread: How does one take out the guitar pick if you accidentally dropped in the guitar hole. I can't get it because the bindings of the inside of the guitar just makes it so hard to get it out. Please help, the rattle noise is making me lose my mind.

Easy, Gibson now has 2 holed guitars which make it easier to get your pick out of the inside of the body. Edited December 16, 2021 by Sgt.

Whitefang Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 When that happens I just hold the guitar over my head with the sound hole facing down, and keep jerking it upward in quick, short movements until I finally get it to drop out of the sound hole. That is, if you're talking acoustic. If you dropped(somehow) a pick into the "F" hole of a semi-hollow electric, I got nothin'.
