Harp Guitar

[JJF10101957]

Bearing any little bit of your soul on youtube is quite a gamble.Great Job!!I really want to hear more!

[darkjedi1993]

Hooray! Your music isn't crap! YAY!

[leuwenharty]

really nice! when making a harp guitar is the shape of the body very important? because ive already seen lot of harp guitars but every single one is different...

[MBlood08]

Sounds Maiden-esque. I like it.

[kakinotane85]

soothing. very nice work man i enjoyed it so much.

[Comment0815]

which tuning do you use for this?

what's the tuning of the base-strings and whats the tuning of the main-strings?

i really like this...

[MumboMoose]

holy nutsacks thats cool!

[ninjae4976]

for some reason those look like the best harp guitars i like the neck, its not the hudge kind

[Gtrsnax]

Neat! Reminds me a bit of some old Satriani stuff, but I'm not dogging you for that. If I had one of those, I'd likely play something very similar. Keep messing with it and discover more!

[knurft48]

very cool

do you have a tab from your song?

i like it and i will it learn

[reallytightpants]

Sounded great i just wish you did more with the harp and everything

[ZamolRos]

Incredible depth and mood to this song! Keep experimenting!

[Mindwalker10]

Nice!

[zelltic]

nice chord choices they sound awesome. you seemed to use the harp part mainly like a bass guitar, is that style choice or is that how to use it?

[leoacoustic]

Sounds GREAT!!!!

What pickups do you use?

[DaleCampbellAcoustic]

Thanks, the pickups are by K&K Sound - its a semi custom model based on the their pure western mini and has 5 pickups fixed to the underside of the bridge plate inside the guitar. Comes on with 2 signals one for the bass strings one for the 'normal' 6 strings.

video sounds better if you paste &fmt=18 onto the end of the address to get the high quality version which for some reason hasn't been added?!

[bluesvalerio]

cool stuff,man :-)

[RuubWuub]

wow this is nice.. just the sound of that thing :| cant say im a great fan of what u play, but its definately not boring. awesome, and i like yr video of zombie too, keep up the amazing work!

[Fusionartist202]

I feel as if I experienced time travel!

Don't freaking change a thing about that song. Name it and move on to another tune!

[DaleCampbellAcoustic]

Thanks man I have a few on the go at the moment, this was the first and will not be doing any more to it till I have cooled off a bit!

[mutley2209]

same model you had a go on at cheltnam? enjoying it?

[DaleCampbellAcoustic]

It is indeed. Loving it! so much to try and nothing is set in stone - enjoying exploring 'how' to play it.

[Rael0505]

Wow! On De Faoite's site, he wrote that your harp guitar is the only one he's made so far - how was the experience of talking to a luthier and having him make a new kind of instrument for the first time? It must have felt like a gamble, but it looks like it turned out great. It sounds and looks beautiful.

[DaleCampbellAcoustic]

Actually I met him at Cheltenham guitar show and played the guitar there. I then went to his workshop and had a more in depth play, (thinking about have him build me one) and decided that it was just what I wanted it felt right. It is small as harp guitars go, which I think is a plus for my back as I play standing almost all the time!

[MrTaylorN]

Na it ain't boring! I like it!

[DaleCampbellAcoustic]

: )

[Hobejo]

it's a bit boring, definately something to evolve into something more. But yeah, sounds nice, and as you say, it's just jamming through an idea :) What's the tuning on the guitar?

[DaleCampbellAcoustic]

It is a bit by the numbers isn't it : )

At the moment I have the guitar in DADGAD and then the sub bass to GABCDE - Gmajor scale for all intents.

That is written in stone and David had the basses tuned differently. I have been experimenting a fair bit and I'm sure that it will change from song to song.

[turkamine]

It sounds GOOD

[DaleCampbellAcoustic]

Thanks!
