In bar 8 (28 seconds in) where Scott is barring on the 2nd fret, he is playing an A sharp which is also in the sheet music. Assuming the capo is the nut, the only place to hit an A sharp is the third fret on the G string or the eigth fret on the D string. If you watch and listen, he clearly plays an A sharp but does not finger it on either the G or the D string. If anyone knows what is going on I'd love to know how this is possible. Perhaps he has his guitar tuned differently??? Cheers.
To say Dowland music is beautiful is an understatement. Scott's playing is mesmerizing. Modern guitar made lute music way too lush. Anyone knows how to identify which "A Fancy" is this? or know what transcription used here? I'd love to get this from a sheet music store
I agree this guitar has it all-beautiful separation without having a dry sound. He plays it and it responds with warmth and richness. Well-performed! Well-made instrument! Bravo
Hey - We use a Sony PCM D50 recorder for the audio and a Flip camera for the video. We do add reverb to some videos, though not all, and these videos with Scott Wolf do have reverb - as it's a quiet piece we mic'ed the guitar pretty close and didn't get as much of the room as we might have. It's a pretty live room, and I really try to just get as close as I can to what I remember hearing in the room.
There is clearly some added reverb-I think GSI should say something about the recording conditions, equipment, etc. Very, very difficult to judge the real character of a guitar's sound by listening to a youtube video that has been mixed.
@sdluthier Of course you'd never judge a guitar by video alone. It's to help buyers and listeners get an approximation as to the type of sound the individual guitars have, not to give an accurate representation of what to expect from the guitar. I think these videos are perfect for the job they're doing.
Good that you let him play the exactly same composition on different guitars. Like that the comparison is easy and most interesting. Sounds a little bit like a reverb.. Did you add an effect or is that the more or less natural sound? I made the experience that also youtube encoding changes sound significantly. Even in my discipline where nice tones dont play such a big role as in classics..

The Volwinkel seems like a clear winner in this contest. Much sweeter top end.

@nvguitarguy Agree. It has the brightness of the other spruces but with a better warmth and the low end seems to sound a little better.
