Location: Westerville, Ohio | It's a borderline frailing piece called "Coging's Glory" done in DADGAD off his "Guitar for Mortals" cd. He plays the song using the backside of the nail on the index and middle fingers, it's a pretty fun piece to play.
He is an AMAZING fingerstyly guitarist, won fingerstyle guitarist of the year many times.
Gee.....can you tell I'm a fan? |

The white on the top is baby powder from his hands. |

Location: Westerville, Ohio | You know some lemon oil will help with that Cliff. As I played Adrian's guitar looking at the fretboard I wanted to dive into my guitar case, grab a cloth, run away and clean that sucker. Maybe he's just tired of cleaning it, I never did ask him that. |

He used the long neck Cliff has on one of his tours, it's part of the history of the guitar. As Cliff uses it over time it may wear away and so it goes, but why rush things? |

Location: Westerville, Ohio | Did Cliff get that one off of Ebay a while back when Adrian had a couple on there? If so I really don't like him...I'm not kidding! I really wanted the black Adamas he use to play but sold it quite a while ago. I tried talking him out of his custom guitar but he just wouldn't give it to me....can you believe that. |
