Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | I liked the way he finished the song by giving us all the finger. Probably because he's got a #47 and we don't. Ouch.
Sounds very nice. And like many of us, the guitar sounds better than the vocals. |

Location: Cicero, NY | Does anyone have the tab for that the way he's playing it? I've tried the regular sites but can't find it written like that (and I'm apparently not versed enough to see how he's doing it) - and I think it's as good a version as I've ever heard.
Great tune. |

Keep in mind that Drake used some odd tunings as well . . . |

The guy looks a lot like Richard Dryfus. |

Location: Cicero, NY | If anyone is still interested, after playing around a litle bit and watching Lud's vid, this one seems to come pretty close. Very easy to play but the tuning is a real pita. |

However... who is singing harmony with him?? Singing harmony in the exact same voice as his?? Could it be that the audio is a carefully produced, multi-layered studio track that he is lip synching to????
:eek:
I think we got the makings of a major scandel here. |

Location: New Jersey, USA | I just snagged a 1587 and now I understand the Adamas mystique - it is my first. Aside from a nut cut too high on the bass side, it plays great and has "that" sound.
But I'm really wondering... besides the romance factor, what makes the #47 so AMAZING compared to, say, an Adamas I? Is it just the pinnacle of the breed, or is there something more tangible? |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | the 47's / original slotsheads have handlaid fiberglass backs and have a beautiful ringing open sound. The 1587 is darker more bass expressive. Both are very good. |

Location: Tychy, Poland | i didn't like the sound of this guitar on first vid, but the second You've posted is very good. i like it :-) and this guitar sounds really good, but i think i prefer more "classical" sound of a guitar.
i think this guitar is my benchmark for great acoustic sound, and i have yet to hear anything that is close to this Kevin Ryan.
1st clip
2nd link
but i wonder how that #47 would sound in the hands of guy with skills like this man above. |
