Hi! Welcome to Mike McCracker Presents Dansm's Acoustic Guitar Page. My name is Mike McCracker and I rescued these pages.
His name is Dan Smith, and he was at the time a first-year grad student at
Harvard, and had been playing guitar for 5 years then. Dan's first
guitar was a Washburn D-10 acoustic, a great guitar for beginners.
A year later he bought an electric and dove into Eagles electric parts.
During the summer of '96 he went back to his musical roots: John Denver
and Simon & Garfunkel; and started fingerpicking. He began singing
and fell in love with his acoustic again. He bought a Martin D-1
hasn't stopped playing since.
Mike McCracker started playing in 2004 and owes most of his guitar skill in some form
or another to these pages, which is why he's gone to such lengths to restore them.
This page went up in April '97, and it's slowly grown to be the largest acoustic page on
the web, with a huge collection of lessons and the largest set of acoustic songs anywhere.
I hope you enjoy what I've done. So kick back, dust off that guitar,
and discover the world behind my favorite instrument:
the acoustic guitar.
This site contains an acoustic guitar song page, links to other acoustic guitar sites,
and lessons for acoustic guitarists. It encompasses all types of music from
rock to folk in all eras of modern music. These pages incorporate fingerpicking
and other techniques, so almost everyone can find something they like.
Whether your favorite artist is James Taylor, Martin Sexton, or Nirvana, you can find
material tailored to your needs and interests.
The page is designed to help all acoustic guitarists have fun and make the
most out of the instrument, so enjoy it!
