Speaking of slow acoustic guitar players, anybody hip to
Egberto Gismonti?
he can really play slow and beautiful and then blaze away as
well
he played an 8 string guitar in 1975!!
HIs early ECM stuff is wonderful
Dancas das Cabasas (or something like that!) LOL
is a good place to start.

pieces......."
I was convinced in the 70s that Fahey
was trying to prove he could play slower than any other guitar
player,I think he succeeded,he could play much slower than anyone
else I've ever heard. It's much more difficult to play an acoustic
guitar slowly than an electric guitar fast. Being musical in either
case is the big challege and Fahey's slow stuff could have this
deeply in the moment sort of beauty,almost Japanese.
