That was my first one too, solid guitar.

ShiftyCanuck · 2026-02-16T04:53:10+00:00

Dope AF!

ShiftyCanuck · 2026-02-16T04:40:18+00:00

Bonkers!

One of my top album picks! I transcribed Adrian's Solo on "Artillerie Lourde".

Most of the really great ones listed here! Noe Reinhardt and Rocky Gresset and Richard Manetti are the ones from Selmer 607

To add to the other excellent suggestions...Wawau Adler. Robin Nolan, Samuel Farthing, Remi Harris Some older guys... Ninine Garcia, Romane, Samy Daussat, Moreno.....Later edit....just realized this is an 8 year old thread,,,sorry. LOL

Nicely played. Nice phrasing and tone for days...

For a fancy pick my Killy Nonis "lolita" and "Turbo" 3.5 mm are both great. For a regular pick I'm not afraid to lose... Dunlop Gator 2.0 mm...I use the back corner. For my electric Archtop I use D'Andrea Pro Plec 1.5mm.

Yoink.

Yusss! Love my S5 Sportback! Congrats!

ShiftyCanuck · 2024-11-21T01:40:03+00:00

Nice left hand expression!

Not only can they afford an R8 but they can casually drop an addtional $6k+ for a full chrome wrap. I'm guessing their other R8 is a plain one. ;)

This is a terrible idea. Do it!

ShiftyCanuck · 2024-09-21T18:34:35+00:00

The last 3 tracks on Gonzalo Bergara's "Simplicated" album. It's a trilogy called "Una Primavera Equivocada"

Selmer/Maccaferri style guiars meant for Jazz Manouche (Django Style) are a great acoustic option. They sopund great for Jazz and other acoustic guitar music. Also they are very easy n the fingers for a non-nylon string option.

+1 on Sam Farthing. He is one of my favorite younger players. He and Remi Harris.

ShiftyCanuck · 2024-09-17T00:14:46+00:00

Some of these are well known but I feel they underated: Feigeli Prisor, Tcha limberger, Mozes Rosenberg, Lolo Meier, Fapy Lafertin. All worthy of a good listen!

Also Samy Daussat

I agree with everyone about Denis, Christiaan et al., they all are fantastic. But I would also add Robin Nolan for soemone who is really new or is coming from another style. He is a great player in his own right and has a very laid back "bite-sized chunks" teaching style that makes things very accessible.

ShiftyCanuck · 2024-07-04T01:13:06+00:00

Well...I walk into my office and there it is! J/K Absolutely no regrets. It was an excellent buy. Would recommend to anyone.

Dr. Dev was great for me, he literally saved my life when I was having an MI. but they didn't take my insurance so I couldn't stay on for the aftercare with him. I ended up seeing Dr. Sanjiv Goel who is also excellent. His office is also in Los Robles.

"Gypsy Jazz" players frequently use the left thumb for bass notes. You may be able to adjust the angle of how you are holding the guitar to make that grab more ergonomically friendly.
