All those Windham Hill guys are awesome. Some of it is cheese, but Will Ackerman (who's the founder of Hedges' label, Windham Hill) gets up to even more lush and beautiful tunes than Hedges. Hedges is more like an acoustic rock star.
There's this other guy too, Bruce Becvar, who's been trapped in this "yoga music" thing where he'll write music in conjunction with psychiatrists used for relaxing disturbed or stressed patients, but his early stuff has massive guitar orchestration with lots of different acoustics playing interlocking parts. I thought I hit on something original when I wrote a song like that, but then I learned that he did it first.
Has anybody tried out the tunings? They were, after all, the point of the thread.
