- Santa came early this year.
Playing an Emerald X7 parlor.
I forgot to mention in the video that it came with light strings, which I found too heavy, so I put custom lights on it (D'Addario EJ26).
I also forgot to mention the neck has a shallow C profile, very comfortable.

I played the first part of "Silver Swan" by Scott Joplin in drop D tuning.
Free lesson with tab (link in the videodescription)
• Ragtime Guitar Lesson ...
The second song, also in drop D tuning is an improvisation on Canned Heat by Tommy Johnson.
I also did a lesson on it (not exactly what I played here but close - open the videodescription for info)
• Canned Heat - Tommy Jo...
Thankyou. First time hearing this beautiful piece.
At first I thought you were going to play a slack key Hawaiian tune. Loved it all the same.
Hello from England, I have the Virtuo model from Emerald. I'm a frail 77 yr old and I like the light weight and the ergonomics of this guitar. Thank you for some lovely music. Just subbed.
Sounds bloomin' glorious!
Bravo! Love melodies by Joplin.
I've learned a lot from you my friend, thank you. Btw, you're sounding great
I always love your play 🎶 it’s so versatile
Silver Swan suited that guitar very well, lovely guitar , beautiful playing as always, thanks.
I'm a parlor guitar lover . That one looks and sounds like great fun . It shows your skills well . Great on Canned Heat .
Nice playing !
Bravo! You look very pleased with this one.
I came to your site via your earlier video on your parlour guitars. Since then I have bought two modern examples and one which is at least 70 years old. I love them all.
Beautiful. Well played. Clean sound. Play on!!
Parlor does it for me, when I purchased my PRS Tonare It was a revelation.....so much more comfort with smaller guitars I think.
When this video popped up I remembered seeing this guitar on another one you did ..........something about a portable ash tray
😬 sorry it sounds lovely!
Great rendition of Canned Heat Carl
Dad's got mad chops!
MASTER PIECES🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations on the new guitar. Sounds good. I enquired about one of these many years ago to take to Spain with me. I think it was when he was just setting up the business and it took a long time for the reply and in the meantime I ordered a Brunner which is long gone........
thanks Phil, they reply lightning fast now and also have a nice selection that's available immediately. Since I sold the Greven 00 I didn't have one with rosewood for the more "beautiful" instrumentals, hence the Emerald for some crystal clear notes.
Hello Daddystovepipe, love your Channel. Thanks for showing and demonstrating your new Emerald Parlor Guitar. Congrat - I think you must be one of the happiest guitar player, to own this. This guitar is really beautiful and the sound is incredible!! Wish you a lot of fun with it and hope it will inspire you making more YT Videos with it 😊 Is it the normal Guitar tuning or how did you tuned it? I ask about it because you mentioned something about a normal Guitar with Capo on the second fret. 🤔
Stay safe and healthy and be blessed and Kind regards from Germany, Bettina
Thanks for the kind words Bettina. It's tuned to drop D (DADGAD low to high). What I meant with the capo is that this guitar has a short scale of 24" (about 60cm - the distance between nut and saddle). A normal guitar has a scale of 25",50 or 25". So, if you would put a capo on the first or second fret of a guitar with a long scale (25.50 or 25"), it would feel like you're playing a guitar with a 24", short, scale. This illustrates the difference between a guitar with a long or short scale.
@@daddystovepipe Thanks so much for your answer and the really helpful information in it. Sounds awesome in this DADGAD tuning ... and.... this guitar fits perfect to your style of playing! Wish you all the best and a nice and wonderful christmas time!! Take care, Bettina
Merry Merry &Happy Happy Pop .. Hope you & Yours R .fit as a fiddle ..
Hi Carl,
met too, but there was one Taylor 712ce-12fret.
Also very comfortabel.
But i also want to try a carbon one.
Many Greetings
frank
There's always another one ... Cheers Frank!
Ahhh Scott Joplin. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve viewed that John James video of him playing that beautiful tune.
Interesting material, it’s gonna be interesting to hear how it shapes for the blues against your Greven guitars, Gibson’s ect?
I play almost the same version of Silver Swan, I love it. Some different positions, though
What an interesting little instrument. I’ve heard some female players like the similar rounded back/top edge on Ovations because they don’t, um, collide with female chest anatomy as much 😄 so another point for comfort. It sounds damn good too.
2021, bad year for woodworms, too!
A clean, bright,quality sound but I much prefer all the good wood you have in the rest of your EXTROADINARY collection of gits. The upward sound hole seems smart,super durable instrument I bet..a touch goofy looking big Daddy...thanx.
It was also a "premeditated" purchase. I hope my grandchildren will love it someday, they are 3 and 5 years old. btw, Goofy is my favorite Disney character ;-)
When I want to hear how I sound on guitar, I play immediately opposite a wall, same witb trumpet. Totally different from being behind it.
Are you still happy with the X7? Happy with the tone?
Mixed feelings, sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't...
@@daddystovepipe Sorry to hear that since you spent a lot of $. What is about it that you don't like?
Wouldn't know, maybe that's the problem.
Thank you for the video. How would you describe the sound compared to a wood guitar?
It's very rich sounding, comparable to my (sold) Martin CEO7; but it has its own character. The off centre soundhole is very important in how you perceive the sound.
@@daddystovepipe So, it sounds closer to a wood body than a resonater? If you were to reference a similar tone wood which one would it be?
I only see advantages but am wondering if we'll miss the sound of wood.
@@youngphilip it sounds closest to a rosewood guitar, clear crisp sound
Does it sound the same if you play it in your kitchen?
I wouldn't know, my wife doesn't allow guitars in the kitchen ;-)
@@daddystovepipe That just might make a good song title......... Momma dont allow no gitars.....
You can certainly add the verse to the song "Mama Don't Allow".
Nice name...🤣
Where to get stateside?

Non capisco la recensione in inglese e mi dispiace. Chitarra bella, suono equilibrato, suonata benissimo al meglio delle sue qualità. Ma..... No, il carbonio no, il suo suono stanca presto perchè manca il timbro del legno. Il carbonio nel blues no, possiamo accettare il metallo dobro, ma solo carbonio per il blues fa soffrire.
niente è perfetto ;-)
@@daddystovepipe anche tu Daddy non sei perfetto ma suoni bene, come se fossi perfetto. Speriamo di non dover mai ascoltare un musicista perfetto, ma di carbonio.
OMG 😍💋 💝💖❤️
