Guitar Heroes - Mentors of AGF
There are So many wonderful Mentors on AGF, who have freely offered up their lifetime of experience covering every aspect of the acoustic guitar. I have formed some great relations with many of the members.
This is a shout out to an exceptional AGF Mentor & Guitar Hero = Doug Young.I had the extreme pleasure of spending an afternoon with Doug a couple of days ago. We experimented with various microphone placements & recording techniques.There is nothing more revealing like first hand experimentation. I learned so much in just a short time. And all the time Doug and I were just like little kids, smiling, laughing and excited to explore any and all dimensions involving the process of recording acoustic guitar. A super guitarist - but more importantly; possibly the nicest, most helpful, friendliest Acoustic guitar person I have ever met, with not a drop of ego anywhere to be found. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClo...sTuJV_lOhDGLBQ |

Doug Young has been a longtime asset to the AGF! I have always appreciated his contributions to the AGF. He is a classy guy and he is one classy guitar player, as well!

Doug has been a friendly supporter of many of us. 15 years ago when I was considering ordering a custom Wingert, he graciously agreed to meet me and let me check out his Wingert. He is s wonderful player, composer, and arranger. And a fine teacher. A classy guy for sure.
Best, Jayne |

That's awesome! I'm hoping to find some other players around me I could play and experiment with.

No "like" button to hit so I'm probably posting for LOTS of folks, to acknowledge Doug's contributions.

I am fully in agreement with the praise for Doug Y Young - only yesterday he responded with further generous advice on my pickup question and he has done this for a great many other threads over the years.

and add Eric Skye
A shout out to Doug and also to Eric Skye. I had some recording questions that I posted once and Doug took the time to send me several PM's and I was just blown away at how helpful he was. Eric is always posting great stuff here and once I asked him about how he preps his Alaska Piks and he took the time to make me a personal video showing me just that.
Two standup guys for sure that are so generous to our community.
