Furch Blue plus G-SW Acoustic Guitar

[@spurs267]

It baffles me that Dave isn’t more well known. I watch most of his vids and it blows my mind how good he is. I’d take his music over most of the mainstream chart music any day. Top draw Dave

[@alamosabill201]

Everyone should email Lee Anderton to get Dave on the Captain meets video, I’ve done it to no avail but if there were loads of us it might get noticed.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

Greetings from Czech republic, nice to se you´ve found guitar company from our country!

This is like those rare Hendrix acoustic videos. Love it.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@heshwuan]

As much as I appreciate your control and expression with electric guitars, your dynamics truly shine on an acoustic--the ebb and flow in your playing is so much fun to listen to. That slide jam was killer! I'm really digging the 'room sound.' Thank you :)

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@murdock8068]

The cool thing about Dave is the soul he puts in the guitar. Its like an extension of himself. A part of him. Keep it up Dave! Emotion=excellent music.

Came in here looking to check how does this Furch sound before purchase (can't playtest it unfortunately :( ), and I totally got lost in the music. My feelings ranged from "it's ok" at the beginning to "holy shit what's happening" a few minutes in :D Keep on rocking, man! :)

Nice playing Dave.. Open C is definitely worth a dabble. Let's hope they let you keep the guitar ! I'm enjoying these original pieces you're doing, maybe you could head more that way and do some tutorials. I'm sure they'd go down well.
Keep up the good work Dave.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed and I shall do my best. :)

[@jimmyjimmy951]

Sun shone today so I went to a local guitar shop in Sydney (🐨) on the back of this vid. Taylor were in store doing a few demos and man they were expensive. Can’t say any of the guitars sounded better than this even with then rolling out the big guns to play.
Came home and pulled out my 20 year old Art Luther (shame on me). The Furch sounds very similar to mine and they are both beautiful in their own way.
Won’t be spending $8k AU on the Taylor that’s for sure..👏👏👏👍

[@LilSirAxolotl]

You really do like the acoustic guitar lately... Brings out the grunge in you 😊 👍 I like the 90s... Maybe do an acoustic intro next time... Build up the suspense with increasing volume... Send it into the looper and solo over it with an electric guitar
Kinda like what if Frusciante would jam with Soundgarden... Something like that? Just an idea
My classical guitar teacher always encouraged me to hit the strings as hard as I could... He was all about that natural reverb... Dynamics! But you never know how hard you can actually play a nylon string guitar until you break one 😋 And they're expensive!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed for watching. :)

[@peterhebden1557]

The intro is so beautiful Dave how do you do it

[@thedavesimpson]

[@LauraSquirrel]

Been jamming on DADGAD since I have access to my mother's six-string at the moment. (an Takamine g 230. Love the sound of the tuning. But, the neck is a bit too 'baseball batty' for my liking. Oh, well. I'm still going to jam it.) I'm hoping to get me a mid-grade six-string acoustic this Summer. Sure, something along the lines of the Furch would be amazing. But, that is too rich for my blood.

[@IndigoJo]

Transparent pick guards seem to be a trend now -- I think I first saw them on Lowdens but they've been around for some time.
Recently I saw a Larrivee OM-02 at Anderton's and the website said it had a "large rectangle by the sound hole" among its defects. I checked it out and it was the pick guard.
BTW Furch guitars (especially the Blue range) although not 'cheap' are very inexpensive given the quality and given that they're European and not Far Eastern. I suspect the price will go up as they get more recognition. You can get the Blue (not plus) series for well under £1000 if you look around. Amazon has a Blue G for under £700! (I suspect without case.)

[@oskarterlecki5649]

Is this guitar any similar to the Violet models? I am thinking about buying one of these furch Violets,they seem awesome

[@cminty6805]

I've owned both. They both have the same excellent neck and spruce top, the violet is layered mahogony and is louder, bassier and not quite as refined as the blue he's playing. But also not that different in many ways. But it's a great guitar in price range. Personally I couldn't find a guitar I likes as much in the price range and that's how I got into Furch guitars.

[@PeterDad60]

so Acoustic guitar tone does not trigger your memories of all those rock players. In other words the copyright asshat's now have nothing to get you on. YOU ARE FREE DAVID! Everything you play on your acoustic guitar is yours!

[@PeterDad60]

My definition of "asshat" (check Websters) : A person who shits in his hat and has no qualms about putting said hat back upon his head.

[@PeterDad60]

So write your songs on your acoustic guitar and if you wish, transcribe them to electric. They shall indeed be "all original" songs and music then,
