Originally released on Takoma (1024).\u003cbr\u003eWith the 1969 release of 6-AND 12 STRING GUITAR, Leo Kottke established his pre-eminence as a guitar virtuoso and composer of quirky, pop-inflected pieces. Harmonically adventurous and technically dazzling, this album showcases Kottke's penchant for infusing traditional elements of folk guitar with more modern, even impressionistic harmony and tonality. Kottke inspired a revolution in acoustic guitar playing, and this record provided the opening volley.\u003cbr\u003e\"The Driving of the Year Nail\" starts things off with a relentless fingerpicked chug, featuring splashes of open harmonics executed with the delicacy of a ballerina. Kottke proceeds to combine the familiar with the strange--each of these brief pieces (around three minutes and under) has the effect of being simultaneously charming, and a little twisted. For example, \"Vaseline Machine Gun\" starts with \"Taps\" played with a bottleneck slide, then morphs into a thumb-and-slide frenzy. Bach's \"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring\" is the exception, given a straight and loving reading on six-string guitar. This is pure steel-string joy, with liberal doses of irony and ecstasy.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51434535158047,"sku":"025218650311","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/c6237082bce4d08162e7769bdf28ae33_739aea10-30c5-4021-9f32-f4856f91ebab.jpg?v=1764601052","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/6-and-12-string-guitar-1","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
