Here's an an acoustic version of this.

Thanks, snoozie. That means a lot to me, coming from such a music enthusiast like you.

I can't help it, but it's true. Don't get me wrong; I love modern music, obviously. Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands, and they revolutionized the science of sound. I don't think I need to explain that to you. Still, at the the end of the day it's always the sound of natural instruments that really do it for me. One of my favorite Floyd tunes is "Wish You Were Here", and one of my favorite Yes tunes is "Mood For A Day". Of course there are MANY other favorites I have from those bands, but I find myself going back to those songs over and over more than most.

You know my feelings about God, but I tell ya, there's something in nature that man simply can't beat when it comes to music. Maybe it will always be that way. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

A synth is cool, but a cello is beautiful. One of my best friends owns a music store and he's an expert in vintage Martin guitars. In fact, he does the PBS road shows to appraise guitars for them. He has a huge collection of Martin guitars from the 20s and 30s. I can't afford one. I was with him a few months ago when he sold one for $55,000. But, I get to play them. Strumming one of those things will raise the hair on the back of your neck.

A synth ages and it just shorts out. A wooden instrument ages like fine wine. A great musician on a great instrument......you can't beat that.

I hate to sound like a music snob, because I'm certainly not. (Some of my music sifts will certainly attest to that. However I must say that despite all the technological advances in sound production, it's still hard to beat the sound of natural instruments when they're played well. That's why I love posting videos of acoustic guitar performances, along with videos of other natural instruments too.

Isn't this the same kid? This one says he was 9 then: http://kids.videosift.com/video/9-yr-old-kid-plays-No-Woman-No-Cry-on-acoustic-guitar

Particularly liked the acoustic guitar solo in this tune. Nice tone and and execution.
One problem with the video, not enough fish. It should have been fish, fish, fish, every scene. Time passages is a song written by Stewart to convey the euphoric feeling at twilight after a day of fishing. He has a guitar shaped like a fly-rod, I'm pretty sure.

Thank you, you lovely bastards, (Kronos's verbiage, not mine). I am, in fact, a rock'n'roller who grew tired of starving, a converted finger-picker and hopeless fish-head who dreams, at least every other night, of casting a dry fly to a brown trout the size of my leg, and a political conservative, (contrary to the drift of the Sift), but one who, instead of thinking he's always right, knows he's always right. There's an important difference there. So, when I do comment, don't try to refute it, unless you're my wife. In her eyes, I have only two faults, everything I say and everything I do.

So, I'll keep posting my lovely acoustic guitar videos, so I can continue to fill my P-queue. I'll continue to rain realism on your idealistic world views. And, I'll........Yes honey, I'll get off the computer now so you can play solitaire. I'll be back. Beware.

Whitey Ford went on to pick up the acoustic guitar and put out one of the most interesting hip hop, acoustic guitar combination albums I heard.

Too bad the * promote didn't get job done, but don't give up on posting what you like. I appreciate your efforts, as do others.

Thanks for the promote on Stephen Bennett and his harp guitar. It ain't going to make it, but I appreciate the effort. I'm going to keep trying genuine musical acoustic guitar pieces rather than those meandering tapping drones. A few of those are good, but not many.
