God, that guitar must have one an insanely reinforced neck, not to mention top... would anyone be able to tell me what sort of wood was used to make this arch-harp's neck?
As a guitar player I'm trying to figure out how he does the opening and closing. Is it a firm strike(hammer on) on the string at the proper fret, is there a pull-off at times, are there some sympathetic strings? It sounds like 2 notes an octave apart sometimes.
Any musicians know?
This guy is wonderful. I also like John Doan. I've got an album of his from the 80s.
This is mr musician.I absolutely love the way he plays,haven't seen anybody playing that fantastic! Where can I get his CD? He makes me want to start studying classical guitar
sounds like fable music, this is amazing

@Cuirassier23 I know James personally and he does not use high tension strings.I was with him when he
picked up the guitar from Alan.I think the neck may be made out of Spanish or Honduran Cedar.You can ask Mr.Perlman directly.

saw him live a few years back... apparently 11-strings is not enough for this man :). Get his CDs if you're into guitar music.
