Sue Foley On Guitars 

Just discovered Sue recently on her new acoustic album, blown away by this lady, phenomenal player, and seems like a hell of a nice woman

It sure is fun going guitar shopping with Sue. She's just such a wonderful artist. 👍👍👍

That was so much fun. Thanks for letting me fool around with all those beautiful instruments. You guys rock!

I'm loving me some Sue Foley lately. Awesome talent and I'm a sucker for a pretty redhead!

Great artist; I’ve enjoyed her music since the ‘90’s. Great tones out of her Telecaster.

Ever since I saw Sue at a blues festival in Germany in 2022, I've been a fan of hers. 🙂Thank you Sue, for showing us your talent on these extraordinary instruments!

The Great Jerry Reed primarily Used Nylon /gut guitars. Those early P-90 ES 175’s are real special. Gatemouth’ Brown’ was a pioneer in ways most don’t realize . SUE is real special carrying on the traditional Blues. Awesome Gal❤️

Met Sue in Edmonton, 1987, while she was in her late teens…said she preferred Texas, to Chicago blues. The proof is in her style. Too cool seeing her play a vintage Gate/Johnny Winter-like Firebird, For my money, the leading Canadian electric blues guitarist at this time! ❤ 🇨🇦

I just found out about her yesterday. She sure can play. I love it. So goo d on the ears.

Wow. Thanks. Most impressive. What a joy that ability must be.

Real cool, love your versatility on guitar. Eye opening. 😊

Somehow I've been sheltered from your music until now. Wow! Your versatility is wonderful! Thanks for the inspiration!

One of my favorite artists at one of my favorite places in Nashville 😀 Allright!

Thank you for that show.

Sue won me over with her fine cover of Gatemouth Brown's Okie Dokie Stomp. She's really a fine artist.

When I picked up the guitar I got some great advice. Was suggested to go to a pawn shop and get a classical. Easier on the fingers. 48 years of playing ago.

Sweet!

Always awesome , never heard anything from Sue I didn’t like.

She was definitely enjoying herself. Love her versatility.

That was great!

Man, she is great!

Nylon strings radiates warmth...Flamenco style has mood swings, emotes emotion

Sue Is A Great Guitar Player! WooF!🐶🐶

Where has she been all my life? Dang!

✌🏼Keep on groovin’ Sue!! Peet the Swede

❤

Denny Freeman taught me Malaguena....Met Sue in cedar rapids many years ago

Superb👌👌

This lady is a great great player.

Gibson Firebird Johnny Winters comes to mind , Sue the firebird In the first year our attitudes would change.

Since you have so few dates on the east coast I may have to come to Antones to hear you

Belle démonstration

You’re awesome Sue- a new fan😊

For a nylon string I definitely prefer the snap and bite of a flamenco guitar over a classical.

...sold ...where do I swipe

She likes lightnin Hopkins

Don't know who she is but she can strum the nylon classical guitar!

All you female blues players got red hair😂❤❤

You know, Sue. When this video started. I was thinking… She left the price tag on her guitar. Did she leave any on her clothing? Then I found out you are at this place in Nashville. Oh? That's why the price tags were still on. I was just thinking, Sue is a bit strange? But no! You sure have the manicure for that, Flamenco Guitar work. That sounds great! Yes you sure do play guitar very nicely. I would have been pleased, to record you. I make recordings every bit as lovely as your playing. Maybe better? Because here's the trick. I don't see or hear. On your recordings. With that I have not delved deep. Into your repertoire. But I digress. Beautiful acoustic, strummed instruments. Really should not be recorded with, Condenser Microphone, thingies. They get too much pluck. Instead? Correct Term, Velocity Microphone a.k.a., Ribbon Microphone. That's what you want. On strummed acoustic guitar. They take, top-end, EQ. Very well. And you will be Transformed! To the next Segovia Level. I mean what do you think he made most of his recordings on? Way back when. They were using a lot of ribbon microphones. That's partly of what made him sound, so great. Because condenser microphones don't sound like that. Dynamic microphones, don't sound like that. My mentor taught me this. 53 years ago when I was 15. And it was a real epiphany. What these things represent. What they do. What they sound like. How they can be used. Their benefits. The lush big full gorgeous sweetness of them. They are crazy. Many versions by many manufacturers at many price points. Are available. From super affordable. To, esoteric expensive. And everything in between. From both, Merica, Germany, England, Denmark, Japan and China. All are great! But just like stringed instruments. Some are short, geometry ribbons. Some are long, geometry ribbons. Some are single ribbons. Others are dual ribbons. Some are passive output. Others are active phantom powered, output. And I largely prefer the, Passive Ribbon Microphones. When I record stringed instruments.. They are warmer. Less edgy. Sometimes people like edgy. Your choice. The phantom powered ones sound more like, smooth condenser microphones. And I don't necessarily want, condenser like sound on, strummed or bowed, stringed instruments. It depends on what you're going for. Pop stuff? Edgy and aggressive. Easy listening? Warm lush sweet sounding ribbons. Where I can be both Passive and Active. They are also great on, Electric Cabinets. And frequently coupled with a secondary SM-57 to a separate track/channel. Because ribbon microphones are neither in phase nor out of phase. With both, condenser and dynamic microphones. Because of how they work. They are 90° and 270° off from those. Never 180°. So they combine nicely without horrible cancellation sound. And you can select phase to your taste. One way will be thinner sounding and brighter. The other way will be bigger and fatter, richer and fuller, sounding. I've used both. But I'm not a guitarist. Just an, real Engineer. As I also teach the teachers. That teach recording at University. As I'm not exactly a teacher type. I'm a hard-nosed engineer.. I get it right. I had to. Because for 20 years I worked for NBC-TV in Washington DC. And I had to be one of the best in the world. When you work for a Major US Network. Yup. You Tickle Guitars, just right. And you look pretty good also. RemyRAD
