  • A stunning version of Old Pine -genuinely acoustic - no amps! This was recorded in Ben's local indie store where he did an instore signing session the day his massive UK tour started and the day his album entered the chart at No. 6

    It's not about the money man, it's the joy you feel in doing what you love.
    I think we can all learn from Ben Howard the guy loves his art and is brilliant at it. Hats off to you man, your a pure example of human value.

    I have played this song standing on a dock, on a lake in Alaska. Surronded by mountains that remind you how small humans are. Affirmation of life has never felt that strong before or since. I did it, "just to bless the morning." As it should be.

    Wood has a certain timbre to it that gives it a specific tone. The tape changed the timbre and so the sound slightly. Drummers use little bits of gel instead on their drumskins for this effect.

      John Tanman when you buy an electric acoustic the is wires inside that sometimes make a rattling noise when you play so he just used black duct tape or masking tape to stick the wires the side of the inside of the guitar

    • @EversJT
      @EversJT 10 років тому

      Brandon Capello Yea the tape wont make a huge effect sound wise. But the whole point of having a solid top guitar is for maximum vibration of the wood which creates a good acoustic sound. Thats y plywood topped guitars dont sound as good as they are unable to vibrate as much as solid top guitars.
