Location: Colorado | I was watching goofy dog and cat videos with the kids this morning and this song was playing along with the one video. So I did a search and found this--maybe this one has already been on here:

Nice Adamas II (1587-2?) Alex Britti is playing. I look forward to the day I've got a deep-bowl Adamas.
Enjoy--have a great weekend. |

Location: Colorado | Or is this a 1581 (since it's an Adamas II)? I'm still trying to learn. |

Thanks for that post, somehow I never caught that before. Beautiful guitar, nicely played…
Interesting combination, too. I would never have guessed that Joe Cocker and Pavarotti EVER sang together. |

Thanks for the post! |

That struck me too, the tone of the guitar was pretty awful, I just thought it was the quality of the recording or the YouTube sound. Still a cool video, just not a great example of the Adamas sound… |

Location: Colorado | I listened again a couple of times on headphones and it sounded like either the guitar had a grimy old set of mediums on it, the EQ on the guitar was set wrong/sound guy didn't help it, or the video wasn't very good.
I thought more about this sitting in church today (sorry, kind of off-topic) while Ben was playing his Taylor for us (plugged right into the PA). I have been approached about playing with the worship team, but my wife and I have other commitments Sunday mornings at church that have prevented me from playing. I would be interested in finding out how Ben sets his EQ and how the guy in the booth handles it. That said, I wonder how the guy in the booth would handle my 1881.
Back to the YouTube Adamas. I thought it was great to see someone using one front and center. Too bad the sound didn't do it much justice.
Have a great evening everyone. |
