Of course there's grand-daddy acoustic guitar megaman, Michael hedges.
I really like acoustic guitar, steel string and nylon(though I like steel more) I like it a lot more than regular guitar, it has that percussive quality that is just awesome.
Kaki's label, velour, as their entire catalogue on iTunes,

I don't know if I could do that much, but I'm working on it. My main road block is that I'm playing it like a bassist playing guitar, I need a new approach.

Percussive acoustic steel string is cool, cause the instrument fights back like a bass guitar and rewards you with some sonic oomph.
By contrast, slapping wimpy gauge strings on an electric solidbody defeats the entire purpose of the instrument's design, which is to allow you to play sustaining, legato lines without much effort.
I can see why Mishoe wanted the video up rather than just a realaudio file. Take away the visual component and it sounds like someone putting paper in fanblades.
