Yes, thank you too!
Not that you have much to learn,
but Bruce Cockburn with one of his earliest albums, "High Winds and White Skies", a double album,
with a black and white photo looking up a forest in the winter, is still one of my favorite acoustic albums.
I've never heard him play for fifteen minutes.
Here's a link to a now senior citizen. How about analyzing his guitar solo for us all.

To be real, standing backstage at Brock University side-by-side with Bruce Cockburn,
after he finished performing, winter of 1970, someone called out,
hey John, how does it feel to hear another guitarist who plays like you? It got quiet.
Bruce turned to look me in the eye. Everyone knew I had a Strat and Marshall with effects,
sounding like Jimi Hendrix while he was still alive, and all I did was carry my guitar around.
I said if a rock guitarist can play a steady bass riff and fingerpick chords,
then a folk guitarist who fingerpicks chords can play a steady bass line too.
Bruce was smiling and everyone else kept partying.
Bruce started using a Stratocaster, standing up to play, but went back to acoustic,
kinda, as you can hear his echo use, and kept standing up.
Standing beside him, hearing him, I knew I was in the presence of a great man.
He was talking in global terms, and eventually became a great spokesman for many causes,
all humanitarian and saving the planet. Many Canadians heard this first from him.
He said when he was in the Brazilian rain-forest, birds would disappear into a different dimension.
You have to be more than just special to be able to witness that.
Butterflies are free, and so are you Erik. Play on.
Just don't cocoon on us.
