The Acoustic Guitar Album - A BB Chronicles Compilation - Great Acoustic Guitar Songs!

The Acoustic Guitar Album - BB Chronicles




I always check in on a regular basis with a range of blogs on music and here is a compilation from BB Chronicles who we haven't featured for a while and whilst bound to be contentious ( I guess that's the point!) he has excelled himself here. Being moderately obsessed with the guitar what better way to start the weekend than with a compilation of personal favourites from him here and really worth a read too! (Always actually!)
