Per Arne Brandal: The Seventh House and Polarstar

The music, The Seventh House, is from my CD The Journey. I'm just improvising over the chords I put toghether. The stills are from my trips on board the MS Polarstar to Greenland and Spitzbergen/Svalbard. The ship was hired by the University of Copenhagen ('75) and the Norwegian Polar Institute (1976 and 1977). No polar bears were killed :-)See more: http://www2.hivolda.no/pab/artic/artic.html

Great, thanks, I presume you use stereo mics on recordings for producing such a beautiful sound. Are you actually well known in Norway? Apologies for my ignorance if you are...

@snipperacoustics I think we used only one mic in the studio (maybe two) . We did not use the internal mic, as far as I can remember. I'm just a happy amateur.I've made two recors under my own name, paid for them myself and tried to sell them myself. I've played in several bands. I'm now playing in The Red Roosters Blues Band.

Fantastic sound of the Takamine, I'm wondering if you have any problems with intonation with this guitar or perhaps if you use a compensated saddle etc. Thanks.

@snipperacoustics Thank you. Standard saddle. I just lowered the action. Always use new strings :-)
