talking about tone, or 'finding your voice' on acoustic guitar.
Tony posted about this on Facebook, and I hadn't seen it so thought it might be worth sharing...

For me tone is one of the most important things, together with fluidity. We might not be able to get to the standards of this bunch but great tone is something to be worked for!

Thanks for sharing that Martin - well worth watching. I'll second those thoughts about tone Andy. I really identify with trying to get the benefits of attempting to make the guitar sing in a way that a good singer would. Phrasing - breathing - inflection. But what a transformation where Tony McManus adds ornamentation to the equation! I loved the duet at the end.

Excellent video Martin! Thought there was something familiar about it though, and realised why when checking the first thread in this section at bottom of page 3. Well worth another viewing! Keith

I still think the quick fire retune by Tony McManus is absolutely amazing, and an indication of the state he is working from.
