sounds bad in his hands, I’m sorry.
Cafa pe.....toma tu oportunidad de hacerlo mejor....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lawrence Tendler, I played on this Hauser for more than an hour and I have played on at least 20 of them over the years since I got my first one in in 1975. That's my basis for comparison. How long did you play it? Please don't tell me your expert opinion is based on having heard a UA-cam video. I have also heard three concerts played on this guitar as an actual member of the audience. I am somewhat skeptical that your impressions carry any weight in this matter, not that you aren't entitled to an opinion, however sketchy your qualifications.
Cedar can be tricky material to work with and the results can be somewhat disappointing at times. But when it comes off as it does with this Hauser II there can really be no complaints. Cedar is neither better nor worse than spruce, just different, and it is up to the player to discover a way to achieve the best possible sound from an instrument.
Too fast, in my opinion.
In any case Scott Tennant is a clever guitarist.
Thanks for uploading.
Are you deaf? If that's terrible technique I'd like to know who sounds better. I don't think I've ever heard a more beautiful classical guitar recording on YT. If there is, please point it out. That was absolutely gorgeous and played to perfection. So what if he uses a thumb pick. Apparently that's the secret to a great sound. Besides, you probably use a thumb pick too. It just happens to be made of calcium.
I'm not sure about people who so eagerly judge Scott's 'mistakes' or 'technique'. Maybe they would calm down when playing the same stuff next to Scott and then watching the recording and counting their own mistakes?
Also I wonder how much music is logged in the Scott's head? It's unbelievable.
VinniePaah whats wrong with his technique?
Everything's right in my book and that's my point.
VinniePaah i get your point but, i just don't understand why people seems to bubble about his technique being wrong?
Oh, I see, sorry. Perhaps maybe if people watch the videos in order to catch some minor mistakes or maybe "would be mistakes" they somehow manage to catch them? I don't really know...
"Anyone know why Scott wipes off the back of the neck like that?"
To ensure uniform traction across the entire neck.

Honestly speaking I never like Scott the way he wipes off the back of the guitar neck . I find him very rude and disrespectful !!
@@normantong3475 It's not disrespectful at all. Haven't you ever tried out a guitar at a guitar shop and noticed your hand sticking to the neck, making it difficult to move around? Scott's just avoiding that happening.
Scott did not prepare himself for this instrument.
Not half bad still...
You have it backwards. Cedar tops generally produce more powerful lows while spruce offers better treble projection. Of course, this is a generalization and each guitar should be judged on its own merit. It's just funny how you have it backwards.
Keep in mind you are judging tone from a recorded performance. It is recorded through a microphone, and played back through your computer or laptop speakers. This is a world apart from the real thing.
Cedar tables tend to produce a stronger, more resonant, a more visibly noticeable vibration. I love them any day over a spruce table. I am a former amateur classical guitar player and I now build and tune steeldrums for a living. It's funny that when I began tuning steeldrums, the tone in my head was the classical guitar especially the third string. All steeldrum tuners have a peculiar sound in their heads. Some played sax which I also played. Some piano and others just always steelrums from childhood on. It always colors the final sound we produce. Mine is dark with a fat center. Also the clear, crisp sound of the treble strings influences my high notes. Sharp attack and rapid decay. God bless the day the Spanish masters invented and developed the most beautiful guitar on this earth.
This is the loudest Hauser I have ever played. It has a tremendous wolf note on A but you can play around it. I have owned 5 of them, all spruce tops. It's a shame all of you listening to Scott play this guitar can't hear it in person. It's an amazing guitar. The bass is tremendous. I don't think you can quite get the sonic picture by hearing a recording on UA-cam.
It sounds like nothing special .
It sounds amazing , I have heard a lot of videos on UA-cam of all different brands of classical and flamenco guitars and that guitar had a super beautiful sound projection and unlike others I've heard I can't imagine how good it must sound in person and I can't imagine the value of something like that priceless thank you so much for sharing that with us.Also mad props out to Mr.Tennant for that beautiful Segovia renditon.
Exceptional guitar, and guitarist ..... well ....
the way Scott Tantant is holding the guitar has an advantage for his health,
he doesn't have to tilt the pelvis, but the right arm is busy with fixing the guitar and it is not free to change the position, that makes it difficult to change registers, the guitar sounds slightly monotonous and harsh.
I only see the joy in music, no mistakes etc...can't understand the complaints of some people
So, are we supposed to be deaf too? Scott did not prepare himself for this instrument, and is playing it inadequately. That is, Scott knows how to play, but, every quality instrument must be approached with care and trailed for some time. If one played a lot on modern lattice or double-top guitars, the tones will sound like that.
well not to be a complainer but the playing is technical like you played the piece for so many times that you forget all about the beauty of it, its only an oversight to rush through this master piece but please don't take this as a negative comment
Too bad the Hauser has brand new strings on! The depth and warmth of a guitar is never present with new strings.
there were a few mistakes, mostly buzzed notes, but he played it great. scott is indeed one of the fastest classical players, but there are a few others who can play those with their fingers.
where do you see a thumb pick? scott does not use one. it wasn't perfect, a few small mistakes, but it was played very well.
A rare cedar one!
I can see that the string action is very low for it sounding so good.
No good
Interesting debate about spruce versus cedar. I've recently owned two Ramirez flamencos from the 60's. The first was a 1964 spruce top which sounded ok, but a bit polite and unremarkable. The other is a 1966 cedar top that sounds spectacular .. better than the two Gerundinos I recently sold. The Ramirezes are identically constructed apart from the tops, but the cedar totally blows away the spruce for tone and sheer character ...... incredible difference!
@gmdinformation - don't be so discriminatory, try some Ramirez and Fletas. Tennant has a terrible bass sound, so didn't give this guitar the best demonstration, but the guitar does not sound as bad as you judged it just by reading the word "Cedar"
4:45 :)
So much for nylon guitars "wearing out"...sounds wonderful for 44 years old. Beautifully played.
non sembra davvero granché questo strumento
Remember Ambassador Auditorium
to make sure the back of the neck is not sticky.
Pepe Jr sure is a dead ringer for Allen Craig except a little thinner.
I honestly gotta say that i was expecting for another kind of tone .
+violaoale I have to agree with you. I'm curious if any study has been done on guitars and the aging process. My experience with ceder tops is, usually, the older, the worst.
Joris Kühne yeah.i was expecting a warmer tone.
+Neuromance27 yes
You are 100% right. This guitar is not even close to Hauser I.
Neuromance27 lattice guitars don't sound nasal :0
So beautiful. Love to hear such a grand instrument in the hands of a master.
Such beautiful deep bass tones. Fabulous!

Y aun ha muchos que nos intentan enganar con sus "Técnicas" en la guitarra clásica! kkkkk kkkk kkkkkk kkkkkk
Can I ask what guitar is the one from the UA-cam you sent? It sounds wonderful!Thanks.
You shouldn't refer to Scott Tennant as "you" on a UA-cam video.
Thanks for uploading!
Anyone know why Scott wipes off the back of the neck like that? Never seen anybody do that.
Guitar necks can get sticky when they're not played frequently, he's basically just giving the neck a quick buff so his hand can slide over it a bit easier.
What does something like the Hauser II cost?
This guy is good but I never like his way of cleaning the guitar neck with his sleeves !
You are clean freak or what ?
It's not about it being clean, it's to make it polished so it's easier to move around the neck. Have you ever tried a guitar from a guitar shop and noticed it has kind of a 'sticky' feel? It's not from dirt or anything, it's just something that happens to the finish of guitars sometimes.
No I do not have it backwards as anybody else who's been at this for more than 30 years will attest to. Cedar has a very compressed bass. Hit the 6th string as hard as you like and you'll get no ore volume out of it, but you'll get plenty more will spruce.
Every note was spot on with timing and accuracy, and the tone was was very pleasing. I don't know what more you could ask for. If you can play the piece better I'd like to hear it. I'd be willing to bet there's not a classical guitarist alive who can play those 64th note runs with his fingers, so I think that speaks quite well for the technique.
Playing flamenco on such a fine instrument? And lower its action so that flamenco shredders can detune and demolish it faster? No, thank you. Leave flamenco shredders to demolish other guitars, or even better, give them empty wooden fruit boxes to kick them around.
wut lol
People that actually know how to play classical guitar respect Scott Tennant's technique. You don't, so you don't. Keep dreaming.
listen to almost any of the barrueco recordings...even most of the poor ones illustrate his unmatched tone
I will never own a cedar topped guitar, and this video shows exactly why. The 6th, and often 5th, strings have very low volume on cedar. They just don't have the deep sonorous lows that we've come to expect from top grade spruce. Here is what deep lows sound like on spruce:
watch?v=bPW4kUJv_z8
cedar sucks
Why?
Hard to tell or notice with that guy's terrible technique, but everyone has their opinion. I play a double top and double back spruce, and my old cheap cedar guitar had more projection on the 5th and 6th.
the best classical guitar made by hermann houser
