All the best,

Jacques

[gogokhan95]

[Francologne]

This is a wonderful piece! Do you have a recommendation for an acoustic amp?

[JStotzem]

@Francologne Hi Without any hesitation a Fishman amp, any of the line they sell, they are the best,

Jacques

[Francologne]

@Oh, thank you for the reply Jaques! Guess I'll start with the Loudbox Mini and just work my way up! Thank you again and all the best to you!

[kognDisso]

absolutely beautiful, made my day (well, night), thank you!

[lebozz4]

Merci pour toutes ces mélodies que vous nous offrez. Personnellement celle-ci est ma préférée.

[gimpyjwilliams]

hey very nice playing, i wanted to ask who were some of your influences as far as fingerstle guitar? thanks

[JStotzem]

@gimpyjwilliams I rarely listen to fingerstyle guitarist, I prefer more electric players like Rory Gallagher or Hendrix.

I learned the fingerstyle guitar through the blues.

Jacques

[MrMaetens]

@JStotzem It's nice to hear people are still influenced by people like Rory Gallagher! Apart from electric he also played a lot acoustic songs!

[Nuck1955]

Félicitations du Quebec bravo

je suis pierre du stage de virton

et au concert j'ai acheté l'album Simple Pleasure

et je dois dire qu'il tourne sans arrêt depuis 3 semaines dans mon lecteur cd

I had the great luck to hear and see Jacques in his birthtown of Verviers a couple of days ago (mine also!), just a comment to say how wonderful that was, don't miss him! Simple pleasure like the man is, but his guitar playing is everything but simple.

Jacques

Jacques

Wang

[JStotzem]

Hi Wang,

I come to play in Taiwan in December (from Dec 5 to 14). Hope to meet you soon.

Jacques

[geraldineUp2you]

Il n'y a pas un seul de tes morceaux qui me laisse indifférente ! Dans chaque note que tu joues, tu fais passer une émotion toute particulière à la fois touchante et désarmante. Face à une telle grandeur, que faire? Que dire ? De tes 10 doigts, tu n'imagines pas le bonheur que tu peux transmettre ! C'est admirable, respectable, transcendant,... Ca me laisse sans voix:-) Vraiment, t'écouter, c'est... simply a pleasure ;-)

Géraldine

[JStotzem]

Hello Geraldine,

Merci pour ces magnifiques mots à mon égard, cela fait vraiment plaisir à lire.

Je me réjouis de voir que tu a ouvert un compte Youtube et vite maintenant une video de votre duo !

Jacques

[morganash88]

Wow that was wonderful, and inspiring, I can only dream of playing guitar like this. Five stars is not enough!

[Sarkterror]

this song´s one of my favourites, it´s simply a pleasure to listen to this song :-)

[colinbritt]

Hello Jacques, This lovely to play - I hope every guitarist tries it. Looking forward to your UK concerts in November

Regards

Colin

I played this before a friend recently. He listened to it with eyes closed, and then he said : "It was like watching a movie". That was one of the best comments I've ever heard, and very appropriate for this piece. Thanks !

[sonseil]

Excellent!

I bought couple of albums and tab-piecies.

I listen your song all day.

I E-mailed several times but you didn't reply T_T . But it's OK. I'm one of your fan.

I'd like to play 'Simple pleasure' someday..

[JStotzem]
