Klaus Says Buy The Record

is amazing.


^^

this is good.. also playin up the road from me soon i notice =)


john butler-esque?

erm...

jack rose?


wot he said... who?

my fave acoustic thing is sybille baier, who has a sort of vashti bunyan story behind her (recorded album in germany in the 60's, forgot about it, rediscovered by her son and and remastered, J Mascis hears it and organises a proper release), it's very very good


nah....

I know who John Butler is... just not sure how you'd apply "his style" to "acoustic guitar types".


^

and thank you for this too, im just downloading her album =)


Cabins In The Forest

When I was in South Africa recently I was lucky enough to see a band called Cabins in the Forest a couple of times. The guitar work by these guys is very similar to that of JBT.

I think you can download some free stuff on their website - http://www.cabinsintheforest.com/


thank you

so much


No probs - I hope you like it!

I spoke to both the guys in the band and they said John Butler was a huge influence in their music. They even have a didgeridoo!


ye

can DEFINATELY tell that! i love that whole sound, they seem really good thanks. i downloaded those tracks to.

oh i want a didgeridoo


Oh. You're not looking for acoustic guitar recommendations, then?

I'd have said a Yamaha was always a good entry level acoustic.


haha

oh dear... im not even going to say what i just did.. lack of sleep most definately induces thick as shitness


I heard some of his stuff yesterday

Time. Space. Repeat. acoustic (i.e. me) is a bit like that, only way less talented and with a whole lot more reverb.

And then a bit less talent again.


ah ok

you have no acoustic on your myspace though i see..


although

i do like this sound too..


Good good.

I've only done one acoustic gig so far, which went down well enough to convince me to do more...

There was a lot of improvised instrumental bits a la John Butler, one day I'll get these recorded...


ye

theres something special about acoustic sets
