Location: Tennessee | This is the same tune Pascal put on the OFC CD II ... very nicely done. BTW, the one on the CD is in stereo (as in he used the stereo out from the preamp) - listen to it with headphones. Very cool. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I had very mixed emotions to watch that video:
1. I am proud to see my old guitar... but I do miss owning it. I think I need another blue wideneck 2-knob slothead.
2. I am happy to hear that guitar sound so nice... but sad that I could never make it sound as good. I need to practice.
3. It is a thrill to see Pascal play. I visited his home last year... but to see him in video makes me lonesome and I want to visit France again soon.

| That was fun! I love those funky pickin pieces. ! I think I am going to work on that one for a nice lesson. It is technically right in between what I have as an original and what Steve Howes "Clap" is. That Ovation did sound real nice to. But then, they always do. What a great musician this guy is! Is that a CL truss rod cover on that. Or is that perhaps the one I sent to France? Hard to tell but it looks custom.

Location: Paris/France | Hello,
I'm the owner of great guitars and my pleasure is to hear them sounds in good hands because I'm a poor guitar player.
I don't know why but when I'm visiting some of friends like Pascal, I always take this blue one with me... ;)
It's without any doubt because it's the nicest Adamas I owns and one of the best sounding guitar I ever heard.
The neck is so easy to play, it looks so nice and it's my pride to own this one.
I'm so lucky to have friends like Pascal.
He's a very good guitar player but more than this, he's a great guy!!
Pascal owns two "Charlie" amps and even if today there's much better amps than this model, when you plug an Adamas guitar to a Charlie amp is purely magical.
Dave, you know that you will always be welcome in France!!!
We're waiting for you but please don't forget your uke and your Martin T-Shirt... ;)

Location: Boise, Idaho | Jerome, don't waste any time looking up "slotch" in your French-English dictionary. That's just one of Jason's. Whatever he meant, I'm sure it was complimentary. |

| I have been working for so long now on the Steve Howe style (That is not his invetion but my nemesis none the less) with the Pick and the fingers that I think instead of killing myself with "The Clap" I will try one of the pieces Pascal is playing. !
HAve to learn something just by trying.

Location: SoCal | I'm a huge Jerry Reed fan and have lately been listening to and watching (on youtube) a lot of Chet
Atkins, Buster B Jones, Tommy Emmanuel, and a few other fingerpickers.
Every once in a while I think about going to a thumbpick and fingers, but I've used a flatpick and fingers for so long that I'm not certain I could make the change. |

Location: France - Paris | Hello Guys,
First time i write to you, but, I can't do another way this time.
Paulmac use to say I live in my "burrow", so, from there, I thank You all very much for your nice comments.
It's a strange feeling for me to know that people can hear and see me play now, 8 months later, I was only playing in my "cave" for my wife and my 2 daughters.
I'll do some other videos ... Paulmac'll come this WE with another friend... wait and see ... ;)
David, you know you can come as soon as you want, we are waiting for you. I's a great honour for me to welcome you. |
