Beautifully played as always! Your new guitar sounds great. I think its deeper voice makes it really comfortable and relaxing to listen to. Thumbs up!

All the best,

[kaspopol]

hey you have a new guitar :D nice play but i prefer the guitar taylor sound

[chaoticblue123]

This new guitar sounds great! In a couple of years I might just try and get me one of those XD.

Also, you mentioned to Augustin that it affects the play style. How so? Does the fanning help you play certain strings more easily or more comfortably?

[ghiengame]

@chaoticblue123 thanks ^^ btw, the fanning fret does help me with the playing, because I don't usually situate my hand vertically but to the side.

Awesome rendition of such a great piece of music! Fan fret guitars look and feel great, but unfortunately they aren't available for a low price in the US. Keep up the great work!

[HaraldPetry]

What a wonderful arrangement and sound

ALL THUMBS UP

All the best to you and yours

Hi Hieu, a wonderful deep voiced arrangement of this beautiful song, typically Masaaki. Very nice and flawless playing!!!!

One silly question: What is the fan fret you're discussing with Agustin?

Best wishes

Hansel

[ghiengame]

@HanzP Thank you Hansel ^^ It's not a silly question. The "fan fret" I was talking about is the guiter fret being spreaded out like a fan, while the standard fret is vertical, that's all. A relevent factor of a fan fret guitar is that the neck can be longer than a standard guitar but not quite as long as a baritone guitar.

[MrMinhtien]

fan fret hehehe

[agustinamigo]

Hieu, I like your rendition very much. Now I've seen it several times. Is it DADGAD tuning? I see the fan like setting of the frets. Is it for the better intonation? Very good sound by the way!!

Agustin

[ghiengame]

@agustinamigo Hi Agustin, I really like your arrangement for this song too. I'll get it down soon :D And it is like you said DADGAD tunning. As far as I understand, the fan fret actually doesn't help with the intonation but with the playing style.

@tarkineWild Thank you Lesley, it does have a very rich and deep base indeed ^^ just how I like it.

[SimplyLuo]

Beautiful playing :)

And the new guitar sounds awesome! What brand/model is it?

Jon

[ghiengame]

@SimplyLuo Thanks Jon ^^ It's a handmade guitar by a Vietnamese Luthier. He hasn't decided a brandname or model for his guitar yet. Its quality is comparable to a $3000 guitar in my opinion, but I bought it for under $1000.
