Oh WoW one of my favorites!!! The I believe already legendary and legend to be Monte Montgomery. This man can play a guitar like few others can.

Anybody keen to help me work out that crazy version of Sultans of Swing ? If If only I could wrap my head around it... and get my jaw off the floor.

I think that when you reach that level where Monty, or Tommy Emmanuel, is at, there is only one rule that counts: There are no rules! Haha! Man that guy can play! Super!! ?

If you just want to see the sickest solo ever played on an acoustic guitar, watch from 3:10

I've been listening to plenty MM last few days...

So I thought I would revive the thread for anybody that doesn't know who the KING of guitar playing is ?

yes... THE KING...

have a Monte CD in the car and even my kids are Monte fans ?

Is it true that he uses an Ibanez TS to get the killer sounds?

I imported every Monte album I could find. They are all brilliant.

I wish there where studio recordings of the covers too.

Yeah he does us a TS! And quite a few other effects (Tremolo and delay I know of)...
There is an interview of youtube that I watched many moons ago about "Montes' Sound"
See if you can find it

And I see he is using the SWR California Blonde, which I spoted at MusicConnection... I am eyeing that amp out, been looking for one for awhile...

I am keen to try out a few things with an amplified acoustic guitar...

Nobody has a scratch on Monte and his style of play... Between him and Tommy Emmanuel I cant choose a favorite.. Both AMAZING....
