Default Video Log: Diversity of Styles and Sounds

Since youtube is so useful, (can you believe it's only been around for 9 years?) I thought it would be cool to post what things catch your attention, played on nylon.

Here's 3 distinctly different styles, all played on nylon strings. They each have something special to offer.

Andrew York: (Who can look that cool and play classical guitar?)

Luiz Bonfa: (I used to watch Mike Douglas for treasures like this. One of the pioneers of Bossa Nova.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr12M8Ua_iA

Chet Atkins: (Laying that thumb in there on a fiddle tune.)

Seems there are a lot younger players on here than older. What has caught your attention on nylon? Post away!

Yes. That's what I'm talking about. So many different uses and styles on nylon. I'm really impressed with Jonathan Butler, his voice and his chops.

Another nylon string styling: Habib Koite. I've seen him twice in concert and it's hard to sit still. My son introduced me to him.

Another group to hear that you can't sit still while watching: Incendio. Very cool music. Here, Jim Subblefield uses a pick, but he's also extremely adept at fingerstyle flamenco techniques.

More, anyone?

A few more here.

There may be some different opinions here, but it's what you make of it.

I first saw these guys in concert about 10 years ago. I wasn't judging their technique or the music. I had a great time in the audience, and they did this song. Hard not to be moved by the music.

On another side, this really is cool. I always thought I'd be a folk singer like Paul. Didn't happen. But the technique of how he played, as well as his voice, drew me to this music.
