Has anyone else noticed the similarity of the guitar intro on David Blunt`s Beautiful and the one in Turtle Island.

Maybe he`s a fan too. Well I`m surprised Mike hasn`t sued him already to at least get acknowledment for it being his idea.

James Blunt?

I've never heard of David Blunt, if it is James Blunt, it isn't his guitar intro ;) He doesn't really play......

I agree, it has more than a passing resemblance. He could well be a fan, did he vote in the best guitarists poll do you think??!!!

For some strange reason I have been drawn to that album, Back to Bedlam, I don't normally get too interested in what's being pushed under our noses on the radio, but it haunted me a bit. I put it down to the emotion in the songs. If I'm in the right mood, they're fine, if not, the cd's best left in it's case!

Yes, he does. :) On the BtB CD booklet, he's the only one credited as playing acoustic guitar on that song, so the intro is most probably his. ;) Aboiut the resemblance - Bee, I agree with you about that, but not about JB's songs: I like all of 'em, a lot. :)
