Thanks for the video! As with everything Ben has done, I'm impressed and I really like it. I'm also glad to see he is still having fun! As long as he keeps having fun with his music, we will too! @_@
Why are so many people complaining on these videos that he's immodest and egotistical. All I see is a guy who has put a lot of time and effort into something very difficult and is proud of it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being proud of an achievement and wanting to show people what you can do.
Ben, lots of congrats from Munich Germany. Boy, I play guitar for 40 years......so its OK to get a tear in my eye when I listen to your playing. I just LOVE this! If I where there, you would get a HUG. Go on playing guitar!
Wow lol he's so in his mind, in his own world...really im inspired, truly... aha id love to jam with this guy, You definitely have a gift and an old soul, and a very wise soul at that. Wish I could meet him.
Those are called guitar harmonics, there are certain places on the guitar neck where if you press very lightly you get a cool ringing tone to simplify it.
No problem, if you wish to get one, they retail for about $2800 new on major guitar websites. If you want this model, it's the Cedar top, not Engleman Spruce, so keep that in mind because of the tonal characteristics (I personally want the Cedar because it sounds perfect to my ears)
Careful with the thumb! There is a very sensitive nerve just on the outside edge in the middle of the finger and a lot of drummers who (accidentally) hit it often experience pain..
It's actually a 714ce. You can tell because it uses a Western Cedar top and Eastern Indian Rosewood back and sides. Spruce is much brighter grained and ovangkol is way too light colored, also if it was a 414ce, then it would use white binding and purfling for the top and sides and this is not present. My verdict is that it's definitely NOT a 414ce by any chance, and I would likely say its a 7 series, 714ce most likely.
I live about 20 minutes away from Taylor guitars and frequently go to check out new stuff. So that's how I know the differences from a GA to DA, etc. Also, I like to read about acoustics and the tonal differences, so that's where my preference for a cedar top and east indian rosewood acoustic comes in. I also am a huge fan of Taylor, which I guess is an assumption that I know most of their acoustic line. I do not own one, but I very soon will. My favorite acoustic guitar by far.
I have seen Tommy live in the UK and god is an Aussie. I agree music can be made by any sound i play guitar, i also sample and dj it's all expression why put limits on it.
