@kdakan I'm a student of this way of playing (classical and jazz guitarist), and am very interested in this subject you bring up. Could you please tell me why you say so? o.O

Thats the sound I like! I've been studious with the likes of Merle Travis and Chet Atkins playing for some time and came across your videos vicariously through jazz luthiery. The 7 string really adds just the perfect layer of bass to accent the single line melodies. Very musical to my ears.

he's badass

unlike piano, guitar isn't much suited for comping and improvising at the same time. all you can do is basic limited stuff compared to piano, 7 strings or 8 strings it doesn't matter.
