So often when we hear a song made famous with the electric guitar, it’s easy to assume that it should only be played that way.

Videos like this remind us otherwise and open possibilities for acoustic which gives it a whole new flavor.

Thanks for sharing this. I also lost my oldest son and nobody can know what it is like unless they have experienced it. I believe that playing guitar is the only thing that saved me because it is the only time I can escape the pain. Thanks again and keep playing.

Cory, it’s a reasonable guitar, I bought it for live use so my other guitars which are a bit more delicate, won’t get too trashed. I find it a fraction unbalanced in the weight side of things, a bit heavy at the body end. The neck is quite good, it’s an unusual neck but easy to play. I need to get it set up but the guy I was going to get to do it moved a few hundred miles away, and I’m fussy. It has one thing that I find unusual, it’s not noticeable when I plug it in, when I hit a note, there is an overtone which happens a fraction later than when it is played and it is a little loud, very few people I’ve met can hear it, but it’s there, I think it might be because of that little wooden block under the bridge, although I’m not sure. It’s actually a great live guitar through a PA. I’ve gone back to silk and Steel strings, I’ve always preferred them, and I tune down a semi tone because of my voice and me getting older, also it gives a different texture. Although I have a few preamps, i’ve now started using my TC Electronic Konnect 24 soundcard as my live preamp and then into a TC Electronic M1 Reverb. Obviously it’s impossible to capture the sound and reproduce it on youtube but it sounds very good live. At a gig I did recently, every guitar player there was curious about what gear I was using because it came through very nicely. The PA guy had a Bose PA, one of those odd looking ones with a sub woofer and a tube thing full of speakers. Also, I pull out a lot of middle so the guitar has a little more clarity. I would consider getting a dearer Breedlove but i’d get a Lowden first

cheers Tony

this is the first time in 5 years that i’ve seen some one other that me playing a breedlove. how do you like it? I love mine. It looks like the same model (AC25/SR PLUS). Nice rendition as well.

thanks Vanessa, so long as I don’t trick myself it’s ok. Some stuff looks outrageously simple to some people… until you try it. Thanks for the feedback

That is very sad about your son it must be very hard to get up and perform like this with something like that on your mind. Great performance and great to see the man behind the blog playing!
