[oliolb63]

very nice! I like the sound and you're playing . how did you record it? is it just a digi-cam or what? thanx for an answer! OLI

[brennwatte]

Hey Oli,

thank you! It´s only the mic of the Digi-cam.

[darek277]

Fantastic!

[Willinmusic]

Like that)

[crosswalkstudios]

I always wondered what bluegrass would sound like on a maccaferri. Thanks for showing me!

[san5a89]

do you think I can use manouche strings on a normal acoustic guitar?

[brennwatte]

Yes I think so.

[san5a89]

@brennwatte The acoustic guitar would loose his sound or not? I mean the strings are very light and the maccaferri is designed for that..but the acoustic guitar hasn't got a body that amplifies the sound as such...

[brennwatte]

Yes, but think that a little bit of that typical sound you can also hear on a normal acoustic guitar. Try it.

[san5a89]

@brennwatte I changed the strings...well they shifted a little bit(just a little bit...) the sound (more bass Hz) but it is quite the same..I'm still very far from a Maccaferri sound. The good thing is they didn't remove the original sound and the guitar sounds very well!

I think the Maccaferri's cedar top and the very good bridge with tailpiece changes the sound very much. So the guitar is more like a classic guitar than an acoustic one.

Anyway thank you! Very good playability and full sound!

@san5a89

It's not good for the guitar. I don't the words in english, but the tension of those strings are too high to use on a nylon made guitar.

[san5a89]

@dimistepa I say acoustic for meaning a steel string guitar(and not a classical guitar), but not a manouche one...a normal acoustic guitar

[Hoopermazing]

@san5a89 They would sound like stir-fried shit. Flat tops and SelMacs are braced differently. Phosphor bronze strings don't sound good on SelMacs, and Gypsy Jazz strings would barely move the sound board of a flat top acoustic guitar. You can, however, use thing gauge electric strings on a SelMac. I use pure nickel strings on mine all the time. They sound at least as good as D'Addario Gypsy Jazz ball-end strings.

[kimersitch]

Young man, that was a very rude response to a fair and valid comment;

You have upset me while I was listening to Jim Hall. Anyway, I'm off to sniff some glue and bond with my buddies.

[Hoopermazing]

Dude!!! Nice job of showing the versatility of the Maccaferri-type guitar. No one every does that.

[pastorius1]

YEAH! Long live Maccaferri tone to be MY ALL-TIME favorite acoustic lead tone!

[kimersitch]

Great playing, but surely you cannot be impressed with that thin rattled tone.

[mattybock]

@kimersitch you can if the guitar is made out of plastic and quite old.

[Hoopermazing]

@kimersitch You don't know what you're listening too, idiot. Go sniff some glue and listen to your metal noise.

[kimersitch]

@Hoopermazing Hey Man that was a bit uncool you know, I was digging Jim Hall when I got the comment, it bummed me out brother. Don't you think It's a thin tone? C'mon man you've got ears surely... Anyways I gotta go and sniff some glue and bond with my buddies. Peace,

[CyValkarion]

Having fun are we?

[lamarjibaba]

Great playing!

[TheDaorson]

unbelieveable playing dude!!

[heyavtonewyork]

This is great. Was wondering what song you played at the very beginning? The artist as well.

[spielmitmirefau]

Wo wohnst Du? Kann ich bei Dir Unterricht nehmen? Grüße, Tobi

[nellheuer]

Gudes Ding!

Würd aber auch gern wissen, was der erste Teil für ein bit ist?!

Gibts dafür ein Tab oder muss ich versuchen alles von deinen Fingern abzuschaun? :)

[heyavtonewyork]

beginning was badass

[rutenik]

@Komprimus: but price is not so beatiful ;)

[iluvijah2]

Nice job - what's the first song you're playing?

[brennwatte]

Thank you. The first song? Nothing special.

[brennwatte]

Thank you. It´s a song of me.

[Renhjarta]

Very good, but a very trebley recording

[andrewjeff]

i appreciate so much gipsy jazz and django !!nice

[dirtypaper]

Oh then look up Joscho stephan .

[DogPe]

wow, so gut, und dass ein deutscher gitarrist ;), respekt...

[thomaski]

sounds like a western guitar

[Harrysmit3]

Very nice playing man ! But really, this guitar- although it sounds nice- does not have the Selmer/ Maccaferri sound at all. Listen to a good Selmer copy like Favino or Di Mauro or even one of the newer Gitanes and you will hear the difference...

Rgds, Harry

[me700gnomes]

did i hear a little bit of Hog bitch stomp in there??

[Joowhahn]

Nah, Hog Bitch stomp is just a lot of standard country licks, and is also based on another famous country song which kinda sounds like it (kinda forgot the name tho)

[sa7sul]

Nice playing, but this guitar needs something else.

[PhiyukYu]

django could play this (you have 4 fingers, he has 2 and a half)

[PhiyukYu]

Boy I fucking love gypsy jazz

[BatistaPassos]

Hey great skills but seriously " Best Guitar Ever " ??? what's up with you? Egocentric? you still have alot to learn, and the best ones, most of em are very humble, id give you a 4 star not only for you but for the fantastic acustic guitar it self but ill give a 3 since the name of this video is too much for you.

Anyway, youre a great player! congrats.

[altstorm118]
