Man, I'm just digging on the samples of songs and artists I'm not familiar with. Thanks!
When I think of great strumming, I hear in my head so many songs from the 70's by America, The Eagles, CSNY. Also, "Wildfire" - Michael Martin Murphy:

A bit repetitive but lots of rhythm strumming:
A lot of rhythm guitar is drowned out with other instruments. It's in the background. With Fade Into You, it's there, right near the front of the music. It stands out.

One of the defining acoustic strummers (with lots of single notes mixed in) for me has to be Ian Anderson. Just listen to almost any old Jethro Tull tune - the acoustics always sound fantastic.

I agree, small guitars don't work for me but he makes them sound outstanding.

Another vote for Night Moves by Bob Seger. Anyone know what guitar was used to record that song? I always guessed a large body Gibson, but I could certainly be wrong.

These are great, thanks. I feel like making a comment about each one of them, but I don’t want to overdo it on my own thread so I hope anyone else pipes up that wants to.
I wish everyone who mentions an artist or an album could post or reference a track or version (ideally a link) so that we don’t have to search out and audition an entire catalog. I understand and agree that unless we’re willing to do that we don’t deserve to hear these gems, but I hope you’ll make an exception in this case. (I guess this would be a “Jack Black appeal” – a little High Fidelity reference there). Oh well, here goes... |

I’m kinda disappointed it’s not in the key of G. Funny, I did a quick google and my first hit was this interview where he says in a self-deprecating way that he only knows 6 chords (granted, he is a humorist). And the interviewer says, We know your typical guitar key is G, but sometimes you’ll throw in a chord which is dramatic and changes the mood. Do you deliberately look for those opportunities? “Yeah, I’m not a real guitar player. Although I play well, I don’t have any knowledge of the instrument. But occasionally I’ll hear a song that maybe needs something and I’ll go looking for it. I’ll get out my book of guitar chords and I’ll try to find something.” https://www.songwritingmagazine.co.u...wainwright-iii |

I'm not sure by the OP if he wanted solo guitar by itself, or with other instruments.
Tony Rice, for one, was a terrific rhythm guitarist. Pete Townshend comes instantly to mind. That's the best I can do tonight. sm |

Anything by Gordon Lightfoot. A lot of 12 string, but plenty of 6 string too.
