Mike Dawes is THE BEST. He started as a prog metal shreder until he disdcoverd the world of acoustic guitars. You can hear his modern metal influence in his compositions. I sincerely don't know how he play that staff, he's soooo good.

Not prog, maybe, but I like him very much and I think he's quite... singular...

I appreciate all the citations of ancient and "classic era" artists--even those who are still living and producing--but I really want to know if you know of any young artists who have picked up the unplugged axe with relish and fervor.



Great, thanks for the clarification!  I know quite a few geezers like myself....Fareed Haque, David Onderdonk (both of Chicago-land region) and so forth.  

Don't forget the ladies!  I'm seeing more and more young women pick up the six-string (either electric or acoustic) with some amazing results!  Maybe that should be a new thread? 

Here, check this out!!  I went to college with David, he was a prodigy at University of Illinois!





Oh man...I love this!!! Great player!! A spectacular piece

A Kew's Tag is an acoustic progressive rock band from Germany. They release albums since 2012. Their name "A Kew's Tag" is a play on the word "acoustic". They only use acoustical guitars, bass, drums and vocals.

Are you also looking for acoustical guitar tracks on recent prog rock albums?
Here is an example from the album 'Don't Panic' by IZZ (2019)

Thanks, Tera! These are EXACTLY what I'm looking for! (Forgot about the IZZ talent; listened to a little of A Kew's Tag when they were being submitted for admission but, again, forgot all about them--so, Thanks!)

^ He also plays electric, but is mostly famous for acoustic stuff. Here's his signature nylon string guitar:

I saw him live as well. Great player. The missus and I used to go to International Guitar Night (organized by Brian Gore who plays like he's from Mars) concerts when we lived in California. So many amazing players at every show, too many to mention or even remember, and they are still going on. Some are classically trained, and all are finger pickers.

I like VLATKO STEFANOVSKI the best. Not young anymore but he is one of the few virtuoso players that can also struck a hord with me.

He used to play fine prog in Leb I sol and Vlatko Stefanovski Trio but I like his acoustic concerts and albums even more. He is always surrounded by also excellent musicians.

First example Jovano Jovanke (Vlatko is the one with the baseball cap who starts to play after the intro) shows his emotional power. You have to wait a couple of minutes to hear the chops but it's worth to hear the whole piece.
