Volume: 10 (probably won't find a louder acoustic)
It's really all personal preference with Rainsongs. Being that they are 100% Carbon fiber, they are very different from traditional acoustics. However, I would imagine you will be very satisfied once you play one in person!
Hey Derek I have a few questions for you man. That rainsong that you have... it looks like a pure dreadnought with no electronics cuz i can't see the eq on the outside... if this is true that would make it the H-DR1100N2.... but that model doesn't offer shark inlays on the frets. Did you get it custom built? I was curious cuz i wanna buy either a rainsong or blackbird. Btw haved you tried the blackbird super om? If you have what were the reasons why you chose rainsong?

@zergtoss1 Actually this is a Jumbo (JM1000) and it currently has Fishman electronics. Looking to upgrade to K&K Trinity soon.
I've never played Blackbird guitars...they are definitely interesting to look at but that's as much as I know. If you go the Rainsong route, you'll be sure that you have a very stable guitar despite temperature changes. They are also very lightweight. As far as tone goes, just a matter of tastes I guess!
wow DEREK!!! .... wow..... I am a huge acoustic fingerstyle percussion technique fan and have listened to so many artists, but .... I HAVE to say... that YOU are VERY unique in your style and composition.... JUST AWESOME, amazing, and brilliant.... WOW.. HUGE KUDOS to Max@vv7 for pointing me in your direction..... wow... fantastic Derek!! ♥ Emily
And you're at the top of vv7's More Awesome Music Channels list!
Dude, them's some SERIOUS SKILLZZ!!! Damn..... Very impressive!!
I'll grab Emily in just a bit... She'll def love your music!
This is some of the best fingerstyle songwriting and playing of seen on The Tube to date!! You're grandly gifted, bro!! Love it!! Keep these coming please!!
Really impressive Derek, like this tune a lot. You've done a great job of recording too, sounds really good. Looking forward to hearing more of your compositions!
Are the strings all from Cubase plugins? they sound damn good, gonna have to get myself a copy installed i think!
Nice to meet you, Derek. Really cool music! I subbed and added you. I wish I had your guitar skills:) I`m A.D, I have a lot of songs in my jead. Stop by for a listen if you have a minute.
these and all of your other videos are definitely some really well put together fingerstyle tunes. i can see the antoine dufour influence in some of your other videos and they all sound so good. from what i've seen here and in the other videos you should be on candyrat records over some of those other young guys like ewan dobson, he's absolute shit compared to this.
aj20@comcast.net is my email, i'd definitely love to get this mp3 and any others you'd feel like sending my way, thanks!
I hope you get in a studio to, I see your trying to break into uncharted territory with your playing and I really appreciate that, quite refreshing. I saw your list of inspirations on your website, I'll have to check those guys out as well... anyhow, you've got a big fan here in CT and I look foward to your next video. rock on!
so I listened to this the other day and I'm like, alright this is a good tune. Today I started listening to some of your other videos and was blown away. Technically amazing, and you have a real unique style with the body drumming and harmonics. Do you have a homeade cd i can buy or something? I see your pretty friendly about emailing the mp3's, but I would pay money for all this stuff...I would bump this in my ride everyday man? let me know, thanks
@MrTonybalone Thanks so much! I wouldn't feel right about charging people for a cd with such low quality ha...Hopefully in the future I'll get into a real studio. Thanks again!
Incredible. Wonderful recording tone and video in general. Your really one of the best amatuers on youtube, and that's a compliment considering how many there are. I loved the synth pads fills throughout (at least I think that's what they are). One of your best yet!
speechless man..........awesome arrangement!!!! nice groove...love it! can't wait to hear more music you come up with.
