Yeah, the Chet's sound was KILLER live, liked its sound much better than the normal Taylor acoustics he uses nowadays. I actually own the same guitar, GREAT live guitar. Packs a lot of punch And btw, he breaks a string during this song. At about 3:40, he stops playing for a second and you can see him pull the broken string out of the way in the background. So his guitar AND Boyd's violin are both out of tune after that. LOVE the Chet sound though!
Probably one of the better choices for a guitar being used live in an acoustic band. Solid body acoustics (like the chet atkins sst) have the ability to go extremely loud volume with no feedback. So i'm not sure what youre talking about. The guitar sounds great
@laxattack260 what i'm talking about is how thin it sounds. that's what i'm talking about. who cares how awesome the guitar is if you end up with such a weak sound? i'm running a fishman blender in my Larrivee and the live sound is simply natural, full, woody, percussive, incredible. i understand live sound and i know how bad it gets at higher volumes. don't tell me it sounds great, it sounds weak. great axe or not, the LIVE SOUND is the final product when you're producing a show, and it sucks.
@laxattack260 this guitar sounds great if you enjoy the thin, weak, tinny sound of an electric imitating an acoustic. solid body acoustic WTF. they make these things called feedback busters. they work great.
DAVE MATTHEWS IS THE SHIT! My idol! I love love love him.... I'm posting a video of an original song I wrote today! Go to my account and check it out if ya want.... :)
Does anyone else think Boyd came in a little flat on the violin? These guys totally rock, tho!
It is inspiring to watch these nuts put it all together. AAAAAHHHH!

Dave's guitar playing is excellent in this clip.
Boyd's having some pitching problems though ;)

sounds really great..
but instead of using one of those you can easily put one of those feedback stoping rubber things in your guitar like dave does today..;)
i'd rather do that cause this guitar is so damn ugly ;)
