I thought it would be fun to list some of my favorite youtubers here, and since no doubt many of you are on youtube maybe you will find it interesting to. Almost all of these will be guitar players and or songwriters just because thats what I have my account for. But not all. Give me a shout on my channel and let me know who your top favs are. So heres my list in no particular order.... Im sure I will be adding more.
1) Well the first one I will mention doesn't even have an YT (youtube) account anymore which is real sad. This guy is an incredible talent and really has a special gift for playing the guitar. Its as if he just able to hear a melody or song in his head and it goes right to his fingertips to his guitar where other guitar players may spend weeks or months working out arrangements it seems it just happens in a split second with him. He's really the best with what he does. Maybe some of you have guessed who I'm talking about? Naudo. You can still see his videos on YT from others that have reposted his videos from his old account. Hope all is well with Naudo and may he return soon!
2) http://www.youtube.com/user/Guitarwizard Todd is such a great player, guys like him deserve more recognition even though I think people are catching on. He really seems to be focusing on Flamenco now and sounds just like some flamenco player who lived in Spain all his life. A great player off all styles. He had an incredible postins of Bach to but I think he took it down, he actually played that one hybrid picking style but you couldnt tell by listening to it.
3) http://www.youtube.com/user/AcousticLabs I believe his name is Gregory Johnson. One of my favorites for sure. He has such a lush open sound. He uses alot of not so common open tunings. Im not I big fan of open tunings but I sure am of his style. Be sure to checkout the promise and Requiem For A Dream. AMAZING
4) http://www.youtube.com/user/Zander4724 This guy has an amazing sound. He plays an Zon Bass....I dont even know what the heck that is but it sure sounds incredible. Be sure to checkout his video "Solo Bass, 'Sencilla', Zander Zon " I love music like this.
5) http://www.youtube.com/user/jawmunji Jaws has really put in alot of work to tabbing cool stuff out. Seems like a real good guy from down under. If you like fingerpicking style you need to check out his YT channel and follow his link to his blog. He has lots of great songs tabbed out and is a great player. He also plays them all on his channel. If you use some of his tabs throw him a couple bucks on his donation link!
6) http://www.youtube.com/user/JustinSandercoeSongs Justin is just a great player and teacher. His YT channel has a wealth of great guitar stuff on it. I refer to it alot.
7) http://www.youtube.com/user/PDXguitarfreak If you like 80's guitar rock, theres none better then PDXguitarfreak!
8) http://www.youtube.com/user/alpet07 Holly is an incredible songwriter and has some wonderful originals. I really love alot of her work, go Holly!
9) http://www.youtube.com/user/KarenEng Karen does some amazing covers and has an amazing voice. I could listen to her sing for hours.
10) http://www.youtube.com/user/AndanteLargo An tremendous classical guitar player. He has such a clean sound. I believe he may add just a bit of chorus and or reverb to his recordings. Sounds great and is inspiring to listen to
11) http://www.youtube.com/user/marywinmusic Mary has a unique voice, playing style and songwriting style...all in a great way which makes her music so interesting. She's really really good. Watch her older videos compared to the newer ones. You'll notice a tremendous improvement in her guitar playing. I always look foward to hear her music because its so intriguing. Hope to see her live sometime since were from the same area.
12) http://www.youtube.com/user/TomiPaldanius Tomi (Tommy?) is a great fingerstyle guitarist. He has some great arrangements. Be sure to checkout his arrangement on Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer' Great stuff
