Demo of an R.Taylor style 2 cutaway Adirondack/Madagascar RW

[60moments]

name of songs?

whats their genre?

[JazzInc]

@60moments Acoustic Fingerstyle music. The first one is called The Crossing by Al Petteway. This also contains songs by Laurence Juber and Tommy Emmanual, my favorite three fingerstyle guitarists.

@MeLikeTheOthers it's a piece by Al Petteway from his Dream Guitars CD and I believe he made a tab book for it

[MeLikeTheOthers]

Whose the first piece u played(the crossing)? I cant find it anywhere else, neither the tab(if you know somewhere to get it i'll be pleased to know it :P)

Thank you, and good job by the way!

[546bananaman]

great playng how much did the guitar cost and where from?

[JazzInc]

@546bananaman I got it from guitarrodeo and it was around $5000

Exceptional playing, but put down a carpet pad or something, your foot tapping is distracting.

[DuskY1991]

That thing sounds monstrous, very nice playing!

[FabianPhilippoussis]

looks and SOUNDS awesome...bravo

[edwardtang1977]

wow this thing is loud and so sensitive it feels...how far away is your mic?

[JazzInc]

@edwardtang1977 I'd say 3-4 feet

[1caesarfranck]

A brilliant sound. What a guitar ! BTW

What brand and gauge strings were you

using on this recording ? And another

question ...What nut width does this model have ? Thanks.

[JazzInc]

@1caesarfranck Hi, thanks! I use Elixir Phosphor Bronze lights (.012s) and the nut width is standard, which is 1 3/4 inches

how responsive is adirondack compared to say, sitka or englemann? what about redwood and sinker redwood? i know they are loaded with headroom, but it looks like(judging by this video) they perform well at low volumes; do they?

[JazzInc]

@wgtroutman34 Less than all those.

Redwood and engelmann the softest and most responsive to a light touch

[wgtroutman34]

@JazzInc Thanks for the reply. i've got sitka on all my guitars, and have always been drawn to adirondack, but wary of the responsiveness. it really looks like the notes slide out effortlessly when you play. Beautiful video; beautiful guitar. R Taylor is Definately on my wishlist now.

[JazzInc]

I believe the responsiveness is almost despite the adirondack. It's the rtaylor style two and its light bracing which make it responsive

[wgtroutman34]

Whatever it is, you really milk the dynamics out of that guitar. i think i gonna consider an addie spruce top on my next purchase.

[12strun]

Great stuff. What mike did you use, M300?

Thanks.

[JazzInc]

Thanks, I used a Rode Videomic straight into my standard cheapo Panasonic Videocam. Great mic for very little money

[12strun]

Much appreciated.

[rickinbutler]

Fabulous guitar! I'll give you $500 for it! I think the Madagascar sounds better on this body style than on a dreadnought. The person below who claimed it is bright & tinny had to be joking. It sounds deep and warm.

[tman916x]

haha silly for a R. Taylor??? try around $7,000 those are handmade works of art, not your standard guitar.

[JazzInc]

*haha* tempting!

I don't think it's bright and tinny either, especially compared to my friend's Taylor. However, the name Taylor (even R.Taylor) brings out this prejudice more often

[deoninisa]

hey man can you send me to my email all the detail about this guitar...

thanks..

[JazzInc]

Email sent

[xdivinebladex]

i never really liked slotted headstocks, but that's still an awesome guitar

[superskwrl]

Sounds kind of bright and tinny

[id1201396]

that's one of the most beautiful guitar i've ever seen.. thx for the play!

[taylar1024]

好棒的音色...

[razpaul]

Great sound and playing!. As much as I love Matons, I'd love to hear Tommy giving this beauty a blast.

[AnchoriteProductions]

RTaylor guitars are outstanding. I am not familiar with their Style 2. This one sounds great.....very well balanced. Excellent recording and playing as well! Thanks for the video! -Derek

[MrLucky923]

WOW!! what a guitar!! and what a player!!!

[mapaste]

[jerrydesu]

Thanks Joost. Your demos are always very informative and enjoyable to listen to! Take care. - Jerry

[yowech]

I love the sweet trebles of the guitar... Very nice! Congrats!

[Jer1400]

Wow! Great sounds. Especially for a cutaway. O.o

[yipmicha]
