It's some of the best music anywhere known to man! He's got to be one of the top 5 guitar players alive! |

Ok, I sm just listening to "Something" from the Beatles Acoustic Guitar Solos album and i gotta say, well done Steve. Probably my favorite Beatles song. Heard it covered many many times by everyone from Tony Benett to Kenny G (ok, I just threw Kenny G in for effect, but one can just imagine)and I would have to say, Stephen Benett's version is more than a cover, it's something new. Really nice. The timing on the guitar solo portion, the pause between the chord rythm and the solo line is brilliant

I think this is cosmic, Tommy Emmanuel, Don Ross, Atoine Dufour, Steve Bennett,Andy Mckee,Chet Atkins...all in the "cosmic" category (not of this planet). Wonderful,ex c i t i n g , e n e r g e t i c , a c o u s t i c playing we all strive to emulate and steal from...

My favorite fingerstyle guitarist is Don Ross. Stephen Bennett is no Don Ross, but his music is great. Totally different- very contemplativ e , good amount of energy, perfect for driving or doing stuff around the house.

His chord melody skills are great. His skills are great period. He's a great player but his overall sound a little vanilla for me. On my acoustic guitar station I never give him a thumbs down, but I often give it a fast forward. Mine is a station built on the likes of Pierre Bensusan, Phil Keaggy, Laurence Juber, Michael Hedges, Andy Mckee and Adrian Legg. Solo acoustic guitar does not need to be translated as: Sonic Wallpaper

I like his gentle and thought provoking style. It would be good if he could be featured more within the playlists (e.g. other samples).
