I get so engrossed in Ralph Towner's music that I sometimes forget to leave a positive rating --- but seeing 99 thumbs up with 0 thumbs down beckoned me to make it 100!

Can someone tell me the makes and models of guitars used by Ralph Towner, both in this video and in general? I'm particularly interested in 6 string nylon models. Thank you.

[orlandoguitarist]

@alvega66 Ralph Towner uses classical guitars built by Jeffrey Elliott almost exclusively. He has a long waiting list of orders and his prices are quite "up there!"

[alvega66]

@orlandoguitarist Thank you very much!

[FantomOfFear]

@orlandoguitarist What guitar do you recommend to start out with for around $500

[orlandoguitarist]

@FantomOfFear I would recommend finding an experienced guitarist to help you select a guitar in your price range by playing and listening to as many as possible. Unfortunately, your geographic location is a big factor in finding a large variety of instruments. What state to you live in? Are you looking for a classical/nylon-string guitar like what Ralph Towner mainly plays? Good luck!

[FantomOfFear]

@orlandoguitarist Yes I think I want something similar, mainly for jazz/bossa nova, maybe some classical. I live 30 minutes north of NYC and I assume there are a lot of places I can go to in the city.

Read the poem Fern Hill by Dylan Thomas to understand this song.

[alvega66]

@dloquetepierdes I recently bought "Solo Guitar Works Vol 1" from Amazon. The books does not include tabs.

[dloquetepierdes]

[EndlessEndeavors]

Words cant express the beauty of Towner's playing in this one.. just discovered this guy.. his expressiveness is killer.

[Bgharar]

one of the most under-rated guitarists unfortunately. he is so fantastic

[mrlaa1]

Ahhh i have just discovered Ralph :)

[MetalDazel]

beautiful...!

[febs235]

Fucking hard to play!!! And I have to...

[skibum1981]

Actually it's not too bad. His sheet music lays it out quite nicely.

The improv bits, of course, take quite a bit of ingenuity. I'm not great at it....
