NGD: Acoustic 7 (Matsuda Content)

[narad]

Jebus.. That is beautiful!

Learn some Michael Hedges - Ragamuffin on this thing, would sound brilliant!

Just checked it out - that's some crazy stuff! I'm currently working on Cavatina, as arranged by John Williams and featured as the theme from Deer Hunter, Pavane by Faure, and Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence as played by Kaori Muraji. I haven't gotten into the slapping sort of percussive aspects of fingerstyle though.

I also missed this 1st time round. Pure class

We all need to hear this thing

Damn, and I just moved from Sydney! Yea, I have to get some clips going. Right now I'm mostly just focusing on getting my acoustic chops up to snuff. Made a lot of progress this month, but I still have a lot to learn about getting a good recorded sound from an acoustic. I don't think I'd be doing anyone a service with an iphone clip!


I also tried taking some additional photos to show the level of craftsmanship that doesn't really come across in the original studio photos, which has nothing at all to do with Guitar of the Month Aperture was a bit too high, but at least you can get an idea of all the stuff that's going on in the rosette :-/

I really, really, really don't like you now, you know?

Holy shit.

What to learn?

My vote would be for Animals As Leaders - On Impulse.

Funny - that's also on my short list of 5-10 things I printed out to learn. Either I'm making bad guesses at some of the chord shapes there, or it's going to take me quite a long time to learn how to play cleanly! But ya, good suggestion.

Impossibly gorgeous! I'm always a sucker for fanned fret guitars (even though I don't own any, heh). Combine that with a sick headstock... *faint*

This is insane wow

While generally going against the "don't bump old threads" rule, I happened to take some better photos of this guitar when I was home in New York last summer - thought I'd share. Sucks that I wound up moving overseas and can't afford to ship it over at the moment, so I almost never get to play it:

Sometimes the rules can be f***ed up !

Thank you !

 

[noise in my mind]

It looks like a futuristic acoustic guitar!

 

[TedEH]

Sweet jebus that thing looks awesome.

I met a builder who made some acoustics with a similar look/vibe and someday when I'm rich I will buy one.

Pics aren't working for me? Could you possibly re-upload them?

I started to copy a bunch from my flickr account before realizing I posted some on page 2 of this thread. You can see some more at:
