hey you guys know what pickup is Maarten using?

[mvanderg]

Hello Nulgnoy,

I use a 1967 d'Armond on this recording, in combination with a microphone, in the guitar. Thanks for enjoying the music.

Best wishes,

Maarten

[keithswordsman]

[nulgnoy]

Hey Maarten,

I have a Laura Figyi's dvd and i like your tone a lot. Thanks for the info. i'm from Singapore, coming anytime soon?

I visited your site, and sorry to say your playing is light-years behind what Maarten is doing.

Guitarist missed some parts. Check out my band's version of "Look of LOve" (at my youtube page) for a lesson on how to properly cover a Bacharach tune.

Very nice! Watched with pleasure! :-)

It's amazing that Burt B went from stuff like "Baby It's You" to complexities like this song. So inspiring to listen to. I'd like to hear more solo guitar jazz versions of the song here on Youtube.

Easily the best rendition of 'Alfie' in youtube. Maarten--superb guitar playing. Acoustic tone to die for.
