I heard Mary Flower at the Sisters Folk Festival in Oregon a couple of years ago. She is a guitar goddess and no mean vocalist besides. There's a short feature article on her in a recent issue of AG.

Don't forget Madeleine Peyroux. Many people don't realize it, but she is a fine jazz guitarist and does her own playing on her recordings.

According to my local luthier, I don't need to worry about humidifying my guitar in this climate (Palo Alto, CA). So I hang my Breedlove on the wall on a guitar hanger, where it is well out of harm's way but I can just stick out my arm and grab it...

I agree, drop the "to me" we know who you are talking about, it is redundant. Other wise good song.

Correction for “Africa,” as arranged by Andy McKee

We’ve discovered an unfortunate error in our transcription of Andy McKee’s fingerstyle arrangement of “Africa” in the November 2009 issue of Acoustic Guitar.

The notes and tab numbers are correct, as is the second-fret capo. We’re deeply sorry about any confusion this may have caused.

McKee recently uploaded several new high-definition videos t… Continue

For three years in the early ‘70’s, the two young guys actually building the guitars in the renowned New York workshop of Michael Gurian were Thomas Humphrey and Michael Millard… Continue
