Leo Kottke - Busted Bicycle

From the album 6 and 12 String Guitar. This is the one I skin my cats to. Asshole. Enjoy!

My high school physics teacher showed me this song a couple weeks ago. he has a huge database of great artists from different genres. so glad i have him!

[@tomclaeys2957]

Love this song. My bro was a big fan of Kottke's. Even created a energetic 12 string slide instrumental called Mosquito In Heat. Kottke's feet will be smiling at that one. 😎

Leo is the Hendrix of acoustic guitar.

[@kevinwilliams6103]

no jimmy hendrix couldnt hold leo kotke's ballsack...Love Jimmy but he didnt have 1/100th the technique of kotke.

[@benius42]

Jacob Fetzer haha only if Hendrix lessened himself to mainstream dogma. Leo surpasses the behemoth of the qualifying musical by stamping his own skill and voice onto the forthright diagram.

[@madben9981]

Ben Klein what on earth are you talking about?

[@madben9981]

Kevin Williams - two different guitar players with different sounds and styles. When Jimi died at 27 he already had three albums that changed rock. Do you know what an E7#9 chord is? Jimi was the first to use it and it's use spread widely. Aka the Hendrix chord. I've seen Leo Kottke many times, love his music and even went through two copies of the Armadillo album learning his songs. He truly is a great player and songwriter ( though I really wish he'd quit playing Pamela Brown and Louise), but comparing these two great guitarists is apples and oranges. Do you know that Chet Atkins admired Jimi Hendrix?

Its Not just a ordinary acoustic guitar its a low strung hard picked well played 12 string guitar

[@rodfranklin9920]

Damn. This was my favorite acoustic guitar song during my high school days in the early 70s. And it's been about that long since I've heard it! Love it.

[@pkjmfineart1593]

I have been fortunate enough to shake Leos hand on two occasions!. 😃 His fingertips reached my elbows. 😂🤣😂😆 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@maritisaksen1863]

Amazing musician, still as good as he was 50 years ago- better actually- excited to be going to hear him in Fall River at the Narrows tonight.

[@siscoismyhomey]

He's coming to my city next week, can't wait.

[@robolsen3909]

Leo is a guitar god. he sounds like he has 10 hands lol

[@robolsen3909]

got this album in a free store when i was 12 and was hooked ever since.

[@tamaralane3518]

They called him "20 fingers," lol! I remember seeing him in concert. One dude, one guitar, one stool. Nope--no tricks on the album with play-overs, etc. We were stunned!

[@paulhaynes2145]

saw him in a small auditorium,was great.js

[@philturner6642]

I was young when I was introduced to this album by an older friend.it blew my mind.i learned how to play every song.lots of trial and error.a true piece of art.a must for any music lovers collection.

[@HeavyProfessor]

[@rainbowdangerclub1367]

You can feel the weight of that 12 string hardware in your hands...

[@tobybasich7465]

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

That one ascending riff is one used by Rolling Stones in 'Prodigal Son'.
