Description of New Age Acoustic

 
Acoustic music within the New Age school is usually soft and gentle, yet still passionate. The flamenco guitar of Ottmar Liebert fits into this category, as does the later work of former Journey/Santana/Bad English guitarist Neal Schon. Expect softly-strummed acoustic guitar and mandolin.
