One of my earliest influences is Akira Takasaki. He had unique tapping skills, some neoclassical stuff before Yngwie. His solo album Tusk of Jaguar was a huge inspiration and had some fusion elements. Also worth checking out is their album Disillusion, which was their first lbum to feature any English lyrics
This is the track Macula from Tusk. I felt it had a real Brian May vibe and really evoked a feeling of being in flight/space
This is more recent material performed live..
Greg Howe:
His current band Maragold:
My first exposure to him with Howe II including his brother Al on vocals:
Yeah... Pretty sure that was meLove this band! Their album does not have one song that does not fit together perfectly. Greg is one of my favorites and Megan's voice is incredible. Easily my favorite female vocalist! I believe it was you in previous thread about music who recommended me checking them out because I did not know Greg had a new band.
A few more acoustic players, this time from good old Candyrat.
Antoine Dufour:
Eva Atmatzidou:
Davide Sgorlon:
These are quite nice acoustic players, none of which I knew of before (although I seem to recall the label from somewhere). They also inspire me to share one acoustic video of a piece I wrote with my very talented band mate, Greg Katona, a few years ago:
Although our technique is a bit more on the traditional side, this piece is actually pretty difficult to perform--however our primary focus was the composition itself. The video quality isn't professional and the audio hadn't been mastered yet, but I sincerely hope that you enjoy the clip--and that you don't mind my offering up one humble submission where I'm featured.
All the best,
Alan
