Default Show me your favorite acoustic performances on Youtube!

NOTHING beats a killer youtube performance in my opinion! My favorite videos are the ones that let you see the artist in an extremely intimate setting, maybe just them and the guitar. Of course I love a good live show as well! Check out two of my favorites below and please post your own!

Something Like Olivia - John Mayer

Cover of Operator - Seth Avett and Bob Crawford

Well, it depends on what mood someone might be in, if it has enough "tasteful virtuosity" it has in it, how old the audience is, etc.

But I think this is one of the better things I've seen in awhile- it's hard to say so much with zero words...

NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series is easily my favorite for watching acoustic performances. Here are a couple of my favorites:

The Milk Carton Kids - two guys, two guitars, two incredible voices. Some of the best harmonies and two beautiful vintage guitars, one Gibson, one Martin, make this duo one my of current favorites. Got to see them last year live and they did not disappoint!



The Civil Wars - another duo, just a lone guitar but two voices and some great harmonies. Sadly, they are no longer performing together and I never did get to see them live.



John Paul White - the male half of The Civil Wars put out a solo record last year that is just wonderful. The opening number is just John solo with his vintage Martin and his incredible voice.



Not to beat The Civil Wars posts to death but I love this version they did of Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' at a VH1 show. Just an awesome take on a classic with wonderful harmonies:

This one made me think that at some point I need a resonator, when I find the right one.
