Thank you, friend! Yes, a great piece and a great instrument - thanks for watching! Hugs back from the US!

Thank you, Friend! I also had a hiatus from classical playing, only really got back into it having acquired the Silent Guitar. At least the classical neck isn't too much of a hurdle relative to the baseball bat sized neck that is a Telecaster. Delighted to have inspired you to pick it up again!

It's a bit of a brute - definitely take this one slow!

Bass all the way down, treble all the way up, and a little reverb! 🙂 I use bx Rooms, but I'm sure many reverbs would suffice. The onboard one is pretty good too.

I dial the treble all the way up, bass all the way down, and the blend setting all the way up too (all the way to the 'mic' setting)! I have a reverb I use through Logic too, but the reverb on the silent guitar is pretty good!

Thank you, friend! You too! Happy plucking!

Thank you, friend! Yes, I love using the blend knob - I tend to have it turned all the way up, with the bass knob all the way down, and the treble all the way up. It's a very bass heavy guitar I find, so I try to make it as 'bright' as possible. Would definitely recommend it! I find it very inspiring to play, and I most definitely practise more because of it. Thanks for listening, and happy playing!

Thanks, friend! It's from Joe Pass' live Montreux '77 album.

Thanks, friend! I run it straight through Logic, bit of Room BX reverb, sometimes a little stock compression, but nothing crazy - the real trick (I find) is to dial the treble all the way up, and bass all the way down on the guitar itself. Happy plucking!

Thank you, friend! I use a Yamaha THR10C amp on the flat setting - ideal practise amp and interface for me! As for the guitar, I tend to dial the treble all the way up, bass all the way down. SRT/Piezo dial all the way clockwise. A little reverb used through Logic, I believe it's bx_rooMS from Brainworx.

Hi Friend! No tricks I'm afraid! I found my setup doesn't make any hiss - I'm going from the guitar, straight to my interface (Yamaha THR10C amp), into Logic. No noise gates or compressors etc. It could be something as simple as the lead you're using, or maybe even a factory defect with the guitar? Try using the batteries to power it too, as opposed to the power supply, see if that helps! Good luck, and thanks for listening! Gus

@@GusHackett Thanks Gus!

Shame about the tanktop though

Ahh, thank you! My internal rhythm is often not the greatest, so it wouldn't be beyond me to take/add beats - but I'll take genius!

Thank you friend! I personally love the sound of the Yamaha SLG200NW - although the imitation of the classical guitar they have onboard is a little heavy on the bass, tweaking with the dials on the side definitely helps give a great sound. I would try one out in a store first, with the amp you use at home! I use a Yamaha THR10C for home practise, which sounds pretty good on the flat setting. Good luck, and happy plucking! Thanks for watching!

I’m afraid not! There is an old tab form lurking around on UA-cam somewhere, and various people have done renditions - bit of a listening exercise asides from that! Good luck, and thanks for watching!

Thanks, friend!

Hi there Gus. I just got the same model of Yamaha yesterday. That's what led me to your channel. Any comments or suggestions about the setup of the instrument itself? I really like it overall, but it feels so oddly disconnected from the physical resonance part of playing .....going to be an adjustment. Again, great playing, and such clarity in your chord transitions. 👍

Hi Sean! Yes, I definitely found there was an adjustment process too. On the settings, I've personally found the default to be VERY bass heavy, so I compensate by turning the treble all the way up, and bass all the way down. The truss rod needed a little tweak on mine too. As for the lack of depth, I've found that bracing a stiff cushion behind the body can give it a bit more 'body' to push against. Might take some experimenting depending on the position you play in. I've found playing with headphones for a little while helped me really get attuned with its nuances. Asides from that, happy plucking, and thanks for watching! Gus

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you, friend! I believe these are the D'Addario normal tension Pro Artes. I recently experimented with high tension Savarez, as I used them as a student, but definitely prefer the lower tension strings. Probably the brand too, personally. Happy plucking, and thanks for listening!

Thank you, friend!

Hi Lex! I plug directly into my interface, and run through Logic. My interface is a Yamaha THR amp, so playing it through the amp also sounds pretty good to my ears. I would argue that the sound of the guitar is excellent, though a little generous on the bass end. Hope you get a chance to try them out, see what you think! Happy shopping and plucking!
