Don Maclean – Youtube

2010 April 24

Don MacLean as you would probably know made it successful in the seventies.  What I really liked about this acoustic guitar youtube video of him was the way his guitar playing has matured and also his voice.  His playing is very solid. This is probably my favourite Don MacLean song, the guitar part is quite beautiful and a good lesson for solo singeracoustic guitarists in how a good guitar arrangement can make a piece of music sound complete with just guityar and voice.  Listen to all the moving parts, it’s tremendous.

And here’s Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull doing a version of his acoustic song Wondering Aloud
