Soup - Les Cheetham (much better audio quality!)

[GlitNeck]

You are one clever Man. Les........Love it.x

[Edmonchuck]

All I can say is wow! I have the blue Igx-sa. ... and now that I hear how a Godin should sound, I am unworthy of that guitar. I sincerely enjoyed hearing this!

[MrPezdets]

you are the reason i picked up the guitar Les :)

[lesjcheetham]

@MrPezdets Thats very cool. Thank you!

[MrSvjoe]

Wow!! Sounds great!! :D Is that an original song?

[lesjcheetham]

@MrSvjoe Thanks for your comment, much appreciated. I did write this tune (scarily well over ten years ago, now!).

Regards, Les

[benburn]

Nice !!!!!! ;-))))))))

[guitargeo2010]

Hello, I am undecided among a Godin xtsa and lgxt. What do you think about, do you know boths the models? Ciao

[lesjcheetham]

@guitargeo2010 Both models are great guitars with similar specifications. I've noticed that Godin seem to alter their neck profiles a bit so it's really looking for the one that feels the most comfortable to play as the tone will be fairly similar.

Cheers, Les.

[bimbett]

grandissimo!!!

[KiwiBwoi]

Hey there! Are these the stock pickups? They sound GREAT. Got a bit of a strat tone :P But still keeping their own unique sound!

[lesjcheetham]

@KiwiBwoi Cheers for your comment. The pickups are the stock Seymour Duncans. I think that the maple body of this model gives a bit of strat type "snap" to the tone.

Les.

[KiwiBwoi]

@lesjcheetham Thats just fantastic sound! Thanks for replying :) im saving up for an lgxt right now.

I absolutely LOVE this song. Your a fantastic player. Upload some more electric guitar vids :)

Cheers.

[Andrinv]

amazing man! sounds so good. Just ordered a AA top cognac burst. What are you playing through?

[lesjcheetham]

@Andrinv Thanks for your comment. I'm using a very old Zoom 9050 in the video! It's now retired and I use both Amplitube 3.5 and Guitar Rig 4. I'm sure that you'll love the new guitar.

Cheers, Les.

Hello Les. Great song and I have to say you have an excellent touch. I have a question: how would you compar the abilities of a Godin LGXT with a Parker guitar of similar price $1500 to $2000 range? With exception of the MIDI capability on a Godin they seem to be similar. Any input would be great. Thanks and awesome work again!

[lesjcheetham]

@PUIALALI Thanks for your comment. I actually had a Parker Nightfly prior to the Godin and had lots of problems with the neck. This may have been a one off - but the problem and the terrible customer service put me off a bit! This was prior to Parker being sold and I'm told that customer service is much better now.

Godin's are very good guitars, but my advice is to go shopping with a totally open mind - I've played some of the new Fenders and they are really great.

Les.

[PUIALALI]

@lesjcheetham Thank you for the advice.

[Swiveled]

You have amazing talent, persistence and strength! Rippin that guitar up!!

[Powerharp62]

Dang, where do these guys come from?!!!!

[atquinn1975]

Wonderful! Lots of mind-boggling guitar players on YouTube, but few combine it with songwriting this good!

[ThePoppster]

Absolutely awesome Les!! Any plans to put any more from your electric album on here?

[lesjcheetham]

@ThePoppster Thanks for your comment. - much appreciated. I do intend to put more electric stuff on YouTube. I just need to relearn it first!

[critterkilldeer]

You are amazing!! Very creative and beautiful playing.

[paullie69990]

Bit of Satch, Johnson, Beck and Alan Murphy ?

Nice on Les, you the man

[lesjcheetham]

@paullie69990 Thanks for the comment - well spotted with the Alan Murphy influence, he was a truly great player.

[seanbkoi]

I've been playing guitar for 24 years, I bought the same guitar 6 months ago, I love the Godin! the minute i picked it up, I had visions of one day rippin' on it like you just did. Even seasoned players will see this vid and compare it to hearing Vai or Robert Cray for the first time,, (hey!,,,,,,,Psssst!,,,,wanna join my band! lol)

Nice one man!! Love to hear the rest of the album
