Top 5 acoustic guitar solos

...(who may not be the greatest acoustic musician, but gave me an appreciation of acoustic music in my late teens): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z9nl3T31wI

Speaking of which, I was reminded of "Turtle Blues" on Cheap Thrills this weekend.
Those guys didn't get enough respect, but that whole album was influential as h--l on me...that might be the one that made me think "Hey...you can do some neat leads on an acoustic..."

Since all of this is subjective, and every member here would have their own list, IMHO, any list that doesn't include almost anything by this guy, is heresy:

As I said, my opinion, feel free to disagree... then seek counseling.

"Derailing?"
Isn't that the same as veering? I mean, veering is/was a time-honored tradition here from what I've learned in just over four years.

Still curious after all these years,

None of those would be on my list. My favorite acoustic guitar solos:

Tony Rice on Dawg's Bull from David Grisman's Hot Dawg.
Ry Cooder on Fool for a Cigarette from Paradise and Lunch.
Jim Hurst Wildcatter/Nine Pound Hammer medley from Box of Chocolates.
James Nash on Bright Place from the Waybacks' Way Live.
Norman Blake - Old Brown Case from Fields of November.

Thanks for the introduction to the above...

That Norman Blake piece is remarkable. Can't believe I've not heard more of his stuff.
