Can you rock an Acoustic?

If you're already onstage rocking a wig/hat combo and cowboy boots on the outside of your jeans, you can play any guitar you want.

 

[Ascension]

I know a few pretty swift bluegrass played that say you can.
This guy sure can!

Tommy Emmanuel does a few rockin' tunes.

He has a brother.

Yup. There's a YT vid of him and his brother doing a great tune for the (I think) Chinese Olympics.

"Back on Terra Firma", I think.

See - you guys are posting dudes who are absolutely shredding on acoustic. But...their presentation is, how do I say this? Boring AF.

They may be shredding, but they are hardly "rocking" it.

sweaty man in a wig = rock!

Johnny rocks no matter what music he is playing. And he dgaf. That, my friends, is rock.

Here is how you "rock" an acoustic. What you are trying to do I can't figure out.

Not knowing the exact moment, but looking at my left hand, I'd say playing a D chord....

It sure looks like it's plugged in to me.
Nice Ovation.

I'll just leave this here.

But it is turned on and turned up...

That said, it is a Celebrity CF57 or something like that. The neck feels great going to from an electric, and the thin body is comfortable as all get out. So, while low end, it does play very well, and really hits the spot vs an electric pretending to play acoustic parts on Every Rose, Dead or Alive, Wait, Heaven, I Remember You, etc....
