It's a toss-up between Andy Mckee or Tommy Emmanuel for Mikey :)

This is how everyone first finds Andy:

though, if I had to pick a favourite song, it's Tight Trite Night:

Though, To be fair - Tommy Emmanuel might trump him on ability, it's hard to tell when the styles are so different..

Tommy letting rip with his (largely improvised) Guitar Boogie:

Though, I can't mention Tommy without pointing at the simply -epic- Classical Gas :)

Rodrigo y Gabriela - Temacun

"Dadi died when N93119, the Boeing 747 on TWA Flight 800, exploded off the coast of Long Island. He was returning from the United States to France after being honored at Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame. He is buried in Jerusalem, Israel."

And he was a close personal friend of Chet Atkins. Thanks, man, I never heard of him, now I'm glad I have.

I would have to say Paul Simon

"Land of the Sky," nice. Love the guitar shop in the background.

Okay, what song or songs in particular do you like from Simon on acoustic. Post a video link if you want, too.

Sweeeeet! "Give me a drunk audience any day".Too funny.

Rodrigo y Gabriela - 'Tamacun', I've actually heard of them, and it's been a while since I played this one. Again, excellent tunes.
