Healdsburg #7 - Scott Tennant plays Dake Traphagen's Guitar

[arfurlife]

a fabulous teacher and fabulous player. seriously under rated. Scott is another guitar master and ispiration to us all.

[Durethia]

For some reason, he reminds me of Tony Soprano. I keep imagining him, playing so elegant, looking up saying "So... Tony... *diddly diddly*... you do that thing I told ya to do? *strum diddly diddly*"

[strumnpick]

it's the p-i-m-a arpeggio burst!! you give hope to those who have a fat, stumped-like fingers like me!

[MoriKAshi]

Heard hims play this a few weeks ago. Sounded better than this, but his interpretation is awesome.

[sir1920]

this is awful

[toodance]

He is lives >in< the notes

[mrwormburn]

2 seconds in i could tell scott didn't really give a crap about this performance. like he was playing cus he had too. and still, sounds 10x better than me...

[ploky123]

his playing is so crisp and clear! amazing!

[Joshyi18]

love this suite, torroba, what a legend ! I'd say Segovia's performance is the best and this comes very very near to it. 5**

[nmclay]

No shortage of a-holes on the internet....

[McLeod54]

Indeed I love his playing; has anybody heard his Rodrigo recordings?

[pwrtecman]

Took a master-class under this guy! heard him in concert as well as with the LAGQ (Los Angeles Guitar Quartet)... i've you've never heard of them you should check out their music! UNBELIEVABLE!

[thenextmullanium]

Oh yes. They are fantastic!

[adilzahrani]

fine guitarist

[columbiaguitarist]

When and where was this video taken. I purchased a Dake Traphagen last December and it looks amazingly similar to this one that Scot is playing. The one I have is the guitar with the 150 year old Brazilian rosewood that was reclaimed from a beam in rio de janeiro. Just wondering, let me know if you have in ideas.

[TimHGuitar]

This was shot over 10 years ago - perhaps 1995. The guitar Scott is playing used to belong to Pepe Romero and Dake had cleaned it up after Pepe toured with it. It was for sale by Dake at the show.

[Yuriy21]

The fine guitarist! Magnificent possession of the guitar!

[CarlosMacMartin]

Segovia would be proud!

[21Mar08myChannel]

Great interpretation.

(That was very considerate of Scott to do the rasgueados strums over the soundhole ...not to mar the finish on Dake's guitar.)

[DavidWallbridge]

MAGIC....where does one go from here?

[wonderneko]

He plays guitar with such an expressive tone, precise control and technique! Really great!

[acidraindrips]

classic expressions

[00sven00sven00]

[ShadowwolfSkald]

He actually didn´t play in the "pick of destiny". xD

I guess you are thinking of Kyle Gass
