Iowawegian Posted June 17, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 17, 2009 I'm finally got myself an ipod shuffle. Haven't listened to music much for the last 20 years or so.... I would like to find some "easy listening" (do they still call it that?) guitar music to put on this little contraption. Does anyone have any artrist they recomend that i could download off itunes? Iowawegian....who's really trying hard to understand all these new fangled gadgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusty1300 Posted June 17, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 17, 2009 Not sure what your tastes are, but I love Robin Trower for easy listening guitar. One of my favorites is the album "In City Dreams". Here is a video of one of the songs off this album: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7mWFtd-3GI]YouTube - Robin Trower - Bluebird - Recorded in 1977[/ame] Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyR Posted June 17, 2009 Share #3 Posted June 17, 2009 Try listening to Al Petteway. Acoustic guitar virtuoso, plays various styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggletooth Posted June 17, 2009 Share #8 Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) I got to throw in Leo Kottke. Not well known but his album "Regards from Chuck Pink" is excellent. Full of his unique guitar style and humorous stories. If you haven't seen him play you would swear there are several guitars. Then again...anything by Carlos Santana, Stephen Stills, Eric Clapton and B.B. King are fine by me. Edited June 17, 2009 by Snaggletooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowawegian Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share #9 Posted June 17, 2009 You don't know how much I appreciate this!! So far it's all good but Tommy Emmanuel and Al Pettaway are amazing!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot how much I enjoyed music!! wait till you hear him playing some of the other stringed insturments he has. one looks to be a 12 string guitar/mandolin combo or something. you can get all his cds off itunes store, they are 9.99. GREAT driving music. soon i'll have a bike with speakers and i can see if it's good riding music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusty1300 Posted June 17, 2009 Share #11 Posted June 17, 2009 As as a guitar student, Tommy Emmanuel never ceases to amaze me. I could listen to Guitar Boogie all day long. He also has nice tutorials and travels all over the world giving classes. A great guy and a phenomenal guitarist. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
