DOUG MACLEOD'S WEB SITE

Born in the pines of Virginia, MacLeod's unique, unorthodox, and powerfully rhythmic style of acoustic guitar playing is tempered by his early years as a blues bass player, and honed by his subsequent journeys into jazz and electric blues.

Whether picking or playing bottleneck on his National guitar, MacLeod's relentless right hand, with its churning bass and intricate finger picking, prompted James Jensen of Acoustic Guitar Magazine to write, "Real excitement is created by MacLeod's highly rhythmic acoustic guitar." This excitement has moved people who dance at his solo performances to stop in their tracks during one of his moving slow blues.
