Jason Carter - Incredible Music On a 23 String Harp Guitar!

I've been a fan of guitarist Jason Carter for many years and a chance encounter with the man himself in a London train station led an opportunity to capture his deeply soulful playing following a chat for Life On The Fretboard - my podcast for Fretboard Journal.
I hope you enjoy Jason's playing as much as I have over the years.

This reminds me of the first time I heard the harp guitar 13 years ago-refreshingly beautiful.

I saw Jason Carter about 15 years ago and his music was pretty amazing then, seemed inspired by Michael Hedges. He hasn’t slacked off at all, this is exceptional playing and Jason understands truly less is more.

Thanks Mark!

Most interesting. Do you know the tuning of the six string neck? It seemed like the red strings were down an octave from regular tuning…which would be pretty dope…

[@inspirecreativeinternational]

Just drop D tuning on the regular strings

Is the song German in origin? I recognized the title as saying Good morning my angel. Idk how since I'm bad at learning another language lol. I'm half German though so maybe my ancestors(we're talking like Ellis Island here lol) came by and helped me out lol😅

[@inspirecreativeinternational]

I composed the piece in Germany…..

Delightful. Is this a Linda Manzer instrument?

[@inspirecreativeinternational]

No it’s by Sean Woolley in France

[@monkeysweeperguitar]

@@inspirecreativeinternationalamazing looking piece

[@TuckamoreDew]

I am so pleased to see this wonderful performance using the capabilities of this instrument to great and beautiful effect. Too often an instrument like this invites a sort of unmusical gimmickry. Thank you!
