You are so much more exposed. With an acoustic instrument, so much is laid bare to the ear, and there is no room for error. Playing a Bach suite is like lying naked for all the world to see.

I like those acoustic, intimate shows - as well as ear-bleeding rock.

I approach playing acoustic guitar more of as a percussive instrument. It's fragile. I don't have a lot of finesse when it comes to my guitar playing.

It's a bare bones thing.

The classical guitar has a dynamic to it unlike a regular acoustic guitar or an electric guitar. You know, there's times when you should play and there's times when you gotta hold back. It's an extremely dynamic instrument.

Aussies are really laid back, and so are Californians.
