Godin Raga demo

[Fusionjazzfunk]

nice one !!

[ernietollar]

Wow, you are getting great sarod vibe on that  instrument.

[artem911]

hey man, great playn. classical guitar is all about the sharp/flowing intonation and even imitation of many other instruments, as im sure you're aware.

try playing with a bit more vibrato to get that authentic sound. hey, in classical guitar there can never be too much vibrato :)

[sliverhandsonbasses]

Fascinating Performance! Great Job!

[steveluvbar]

so cool

[teddyplusplus]

Far out man... faaaaar out

[1000BrokenKeys]

it is like a meditation, like when you let your thoughs go and you play what your thouhts make you feel and the playing sounds like a true expression because you have achieved an atmosphere

[mrbensdonair]

dude....you rock

[theforgottonname]

I somehow pictured hard fast reggae but this was really nice.

[MFRedeemerp2]

this is fabulous

how did you get that sound?

[excusetheaccent]

Hey nice tune.... I happen to be from India as well but I'm mostly into rock. hehe. How is the tracking on this one? Is it good for live performance?

[mthai66]

I just found a gr20 in the local shop for $440 (w/pickup)!

[eggboy1]

I'll have a prawn curry with rice please.

[schmezl]

@eggboy1

lol... thats a wicked comment...

[toshape]

Om Shanti!

[fiveling]

can you get these sounds out of a godin without the vg88?

[naakkve10]

This music makes me feel very peaceful. Thank you.

[nomypomy]

Very nice. But I think this is the GR20, not the VG88

[therealkaimuse]

LOL- I love self-appointed experts.

As the performer of this piece, and owner of the VG-88 and Godin, I can safely say this is indeed the VG-88.

I'd love to have a GR20 as well, but they're hard to find for sale.

[nomypomy]

Sorry, didnt mean to sound like a 'self appointed expert' LOL

But, I have a question: I wanted to buy the Multiac by Godin and I cant find a fretless in any of the stores, so is there like a big learning curve when it comes to getting used to playing it? And does it sound different when playing it as a guitar, i.e without using the VG88?

I would appreciate any help or comments.

Thanks

[wfranklin]

Well, I just started playing fretless this year and I can say there is a bit of a curve when it comes to intonation. Also, speed is diminished by the lack of frets. It is probably just as easy to play speedily on a fretless, but it's a very different sensation because there is nothing to hold on to except the neck. You never really appreciate how much frets do in a conventional guitar until you try to play without them. My advice is to get a cheap guitar and unfret it yourself to see if 4 you.

[NTXGizzi]

This is really an impressive use of the Fretless Godin & VG-88 combo. Great authentic sound, maybe even enough to convince me to look for a VG-88. Although I don't think my phrasing will ever be that smooth.

[rammers2006]

Sweet man.....  Godin for the win!!!

...

[Pudsy440]

now there's an interesting noodle for a fretless acoustic! well done! :D

[mjrami]

Dude what are you trying to play??

Marcelo

[edwardpowellmusic]

Cool!

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

hey man what kind of amp do you need for those guitars ? and how much ?

[hemantsharma]

Very nice, I love this raag, especially ni re ma ga

Well done! Whom did you study the raag from?

[therealkaimuse]

From my teacher, the sitarist Uwe Neumann. It's just Raag Yaman, which a lot of beginners begin with. I can't say I play it well yet.

[sangheeta]

Excellent .

[jawadahmad77]

amazing

[TymonExivious]

I LOVE your phrasing. I should really get more into this stuff as I also play fretless guitar. What's a good starting point? Any specific music to transcribe?

[zzmook]

More cowbell! Wait, I mean tablas! Get some tablas and bells kicking in and WORK IT!!!!! Good stuff!

[halipino]

very cool! :)

[hnshrinidhi]

Very Nice Playing!! Please post more videos.

[tomcor33]

I used to play sarod. This sounds authentic.

[drareg4444]

pretty inspiring.

[therealkaimuse]

Thanks.

Yeah, my technique is totally derived from sarod technique. If the fingerboard were metal (as on some fretless guitars), it would sound even more so.

[chrisitar]

very nice, sounds a little like sarod

[fabio73]

Nice work... love the Vg-88
