Muy bueno👍✔

Versión de concierto. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Racer X- scarified ? Like !!

Está chida tu guitarra y la rola

At the 5:30 comparison you can clearly hear how the lower register is more balanced on the cedar guitar, making each low note stand out where as they get a little confused or subdued with the spruce, but really, it's just nothing to be picking at.

Man you have a beautiful touch

I have a cedar and a spruce guitar, the latter was relatively expensive. If it's about playing soft, dark melodies, I absolutely prefer cedar. If I want to play more agitated and loud, I use the spruce guitar. Visually I like cedar more. The lightly reddish wood is just beautiful.

His website is down and has issues

❤🥰👍👍👍

At least the spruce top had a bridge saddle in its' rightful place.

Is the spruce on top or inside?

SPRUCE!

Watching you play Mallorca 2 on Cedar versus Spruce, I could tell immediately the second you started playing the spruce I literally said out loud “WOW” I normally prefer cedar, because I love the warmth, and slightly softer sound, but holy crap… the spruce… The note that you played at the beginning of that comparison of Mallorca 2, had a lot of overtones and clarity, and almost sounded harmonically rich. I was seriously impressed!!! I usually prefer cedar, but I think I actually like Spruce

I prefer spruce with every music piece, much more presence somehow.

Cedar

must. have. one.

I have 3 cedar 😂

Which piece is this

Spuce wood is brighter sound/cedar is more soft. THANKS.

I'm only an intermediate level player, but I prefer the cedar. I like the warmer tone. I thought Spanish Romance sounded nicer on the cedar, or it just suited it better. I'm probably biased though, as my guitars are both cedar. Great playing.

May you please share your tabs please, highly appreciated, thank you,

They both are great guitar. To my ears, the cedar guitar sound is darker and fuller, just like the differences between a Strad violin and a Guarneri violin.

I forgot that I left a comment a year ago. This time, my favorite are #1 Steven Walter 2023, #9 Francisco Simplicio1929, and #10 René Lacôte 1820. They all have one thing in common, a belt-like, well resonated tonal quality.

Incredible

Excellent comparison. Especially using a brand and type of string most of us are familiar with, along with a couple days playing time. I find the passages in succession more helpful for this type of comparison.

Like. 76 Great video my friend Congratulations. !!!

Spruce sounds like a piano and Cedar like a flute, sharp and crisp vs round and enveloping

What guitar are you using? I'm currently using a Kremona Romida but am considering buying another. Loving the sound of this one.

Such beautiful playing!

Interesting! Going to try these , And well explained! I like your humility in terms of acknowledging great players when you are yourself a extremely good player ! I try to make little exercise s out of my repertoire if I can but I could spend 15 mins a day on these I think

Cedar win

duuuuude😮

Beautiful playing. I am the person that commissioned that guitar from Martin... Always loved the cedar / maple combination and it works well in a double top.

Superbe!,et la guitare à un timbre magnifique, c est tellement beau Scarlatti, trop dur pour moi pour le moment, bien content de déjà jouer le k32 😊

Thankful

Really nice 😊

I will gladly pay you to play something 2:50- 3 min for early Christmas present for me. I really really love your playing. I would like to put it on my spa relaxation video on UA-cam if that’s okay!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I’ll say you played this for me and give you credit! 😃💯✨😊

Thank you for introducing me to the concept of double top.

It's Eliot Fisk transcription?

Needed this one! My friend Carlos Serrano just told me about this exercise he also was a student of Rene

What guitar do you play ?

I expected that I would like the cedar more than the Spruce but it was the other way around. The spruce was markedly more articulate - each note rang out beautifully clear.

Una de las mejores interpretaciones que llevo escuchadas en mis 75 años de vida, sobria, sin efectos superfluos, ajustada, elegante. Y eso que escuché desde Renata Tarragó a los monstruos que tenemos hoy en día. Mis felicitaciones y un saludo desde Madrid.

I listened to this interview with great interest - I certainly didn't understand everything... But what came across to me was Stephan Connor's deep love of research, of discovering the “secrets” of the woods, of bringing the woods to life in sound. And sound is something magical, it touches us all. Thanks to Stephan Connor for this beautiful personal insight into his life and work with these wonderful guitars! And thank you Evan for sharing this very interesting conversation ! Musical greetings from Germany, Angelika 🙏👏👏
