The Wind Machine Guitar Duo - A Show Of Hands

Pick a favorite guitar style: flat-picking, finger-picking, jazz, swing, classical. "A Show of Hands" can offer a taste of each. Steve Mesple and Joe Scott are guitarists and co-founders of the group Wind Machine and instrumentalists par excellence. "A Show of Hands" is a collection of duets and solo pieces that exhibit their remarkable skill and dexterity, as well as their ear for the subtleties and intricacies in the sound of various guitar styles. It is amazing how much music two guitars, and two guitar masters, can make. This is one of those pleasant "sunny afternoon" sort of albums that grows on you with each listen. My personal favorites are "Final Frontier" and "Journey Home".
