You have a truly beautiful sense of swing - some of those phrases and entrances just ever so slightly behind the beat - yet without ever losing that "in the pocket" backbone rhythm. It communicates so much, and yet with such subtlety.
I just bought the Motif as my first guitar to learn to play after researching the web and trying several. Much easier on my old fingers than the Yamahas that I had first thought about.
As a very just beginning beginner, I'm enjoying it. You make it look so easy and the sound you are getting from it shows me I have a LONG way to go in the basics but also gives me something to strive to achieve. Thank you.
Escuse mi bad english, i'm thinking to get one, i can`t choose between the Motif and the Concert, they have the same price, can you give an opinion please, thanks in advance for any answer
Thanks. I don't notice a difference with brightness. It's actually darker than my Bogdanovich. The overall character, especially in the trebles, is not as refined, but it is very good for the money.
Very nice indeed.
I really want a Motif but they don't hae any in the UK at all!! Can someone suggest a similar guitar?
Cheers

Thanks to all for your kind words.
kbkesq: No, that is actually a cheap La Patrie 'Motif', a Canadian factory built parlor guitar. I have fun playing it though!
