Although die-hard fans might not agree, others may contend that Al di Meola's acoustic guitar work is superior to his electric repertoire. You could cite a heightened sensitivity, an emphasis toward his classical and flamenco influences, and in many instances a calming of his pyrotechnics, allowing one to hear his voice more clearly.
