  • Live footage from the Monte Montgomery sessions for the new self-titled CD available everywhere SEP 30, 2008. Named as one of Guitar Player Magazine's "Top 50 All-Time Greatest Guitarists" and the only artist to win the "Best Acoustic Guitar Player" at the Austin Music Awards seven years straight, Monte Montgomery is world-renowned for his dizzying fretboard wizardry. Guitar hero status aside, Montgomery is also a multi-dimensional songwriter and storyteller as well as a talented arranger and remarkably soulful vocalist. He is one of the very few living guitar gods able to synergize technical shredding with deep soul connection in his songs and performances. Austin City Limits producer Terry Lickona describes the musician perfectly, "Monte Montgomery blows people away. There is no other way to describe it."

    Gotta laugh at those who gave a thumbs down. They have to be jealous guitar players who think they can do it better. Just a great song with great playing.

      Any thumbs down dude is a Cyndi Lauper/ Barbara Streisand fan. You really cant get more Rock Godlike than writing/playing/singing somthing this thoughtfully tight. Damn. I wish I could have too Monte......played like THAT!

    Something I will always love about Monte's style of playing. Is that his guitar solo's sing lyrics by themselves. Just listening to the story that he tells using the strings. His lyrics are powerful, always have been, but it's the story he tells through those solo's that always get me hooked.

    I met Monte at the Guitar institute Of Technology when I was studying there some months back. I got to tell you an absolutely humble person and an incredible musician and guitar player. This man is a huge inspiration to me when it comes to playing acoustic guitars :) Monte keep up the amazing work.

    This cat brought tears to my eyes, two nights in a row in 'Antone's in Austin ! We just walked in of the street, from way out of town,... and had no idea what was about to happen, right before my eyes. (Monty Happened!)
    Bless his head. Makes me want to move to Texas.

    Was never much of a MM fan, but this one turned my head.
    He must be using light gauge on that box - top looks pretty shredded, but tonally the guitar must be beyond heaven.
    This is a favorite.

    LISTEN to Mirror..I still think his best album..Ran into him in 1995 driving thru austin on KLBJ...He is doing the usual on acoustic drop eq, but he drives it with something that gives him an electric eq..Some of the newer players are using a dimarzio pickup, so to get a little closer its most likely his pickups..As far as his effects after he has them tuned for it..Go see him live its unbelievable.. He does things on the acoustic that are not possible..His Alvarez has blown up on him 5-6 times..bahahahaha!!
