THE ROAD TO ULLAPOOL - Original Fingerstyle Tune, by Luca

Here I play an original piece of mine, that I have arranged in honour of a small town in the north Scotland, Ullapool, where every year in October there is a Guitar Festival: really very nice!...

I play with my guitar Guild GAD-50 (Sitka Spruce/Indian Rosewood), in standard tuning.

I dedicate this tune to all my SIX BARS JAIL's friends!... Have a good journey!...

Hi luca

I was just about to ask the same question as ludlow13 as I too am left handed and have been looking at the Guild DAD50L, glad your pleased with it, I wanted to try and get a vintage D50 left handed, but the search is not coming up with anything, except one that sold a while ago in the USA for $2000! over 3 times the price of a new GAD50L, but would it have 3 times the tone? Yours does sound VERY sweet.

Hi ShelsleySpecial,

I think that a vintage D-50 is surely better than GAD-50, but maybe with $ 2000 you can buy a Guild D-55 left handed, the "Queen" of Guild guitars!...

I have found something about it on internet...

All the best,

luca

Hi Luca, i am about to buy a guild gad-50 left handed. What is your opinion of the guitar?

[ludlow13]

thanks a lot!...

Hi,

the Guild GAD-50 guitar is exceptionally well made in China, with meticulous craftsmanship; the materials used in building this guitar are very good (woods are solid!) and the sound is rich, with a balanced tone from treble to bass; bone nut and saddle I'm sure help the incredible sustain. It plays nicely with flat pick or fingerstyle. In this video I play without pickup and you can hear his acoustic sound... I think you will enjoy with it!...

My best wishes,

luca

I like your style of playing and the songs you play. This piece of music gives me chills, it sounds strong and melancholic at the same time. It sounds like a traditional tune.

Guitar sounds good by the way. Clear but with a well-defined bass.

Hi friend great song. Question, I've decided to learn guitar but I don't know if I should be learning left or right handed. When I pick up a guitar it feels natural to fret with my right hand, but strumming is weak with the left. And conversely strumming is strong on the right hand, but fretting is weak with the left. Experts say you should learn as a right handed player so I'm confused, what made you go left? Any advice you can give to me to help me would be appreciated, thanks!
