  I love the Troster, it came with 2 adhesive backed plastic sheets which I used on my Cordoba. It is easy and fast to attach or remove. I like the neck pretty high so it works well for me.

  I don't know why it sounds so distorted. Is it due to your recording equipment? It can't be due go your guitar. I have used it on cheap Yamaha C40, it sounds good.

  Savarez 520R is very good string, especially the plastic-wound G string. Many people don't like because it slows them down, but I found it ok when you are used to it. The brightness of it is simply a winner. Carbon strings are nylon strings. They are the fluorocarbon polymer, which is stiffer. That's why they are called 'carbon' as marketing gimmick. Being stiffer, they are brighter. But there is also a polymer derived from sugar molecule, called nylgut. It is also brighter because it is more brittle. It is this brittleness that causes the premature snap. Aquila Sugar is made of this material.

  Student guitar? That's a of money for a student. A solid top Cordoba C3m (under £300 GBP) is more affordable for the student. This lovely C10 can be the next level further along the journey.

  Parlor guitars are not just for small hands or young people....... some of us bigger adults want one with a short scale for an easier time of it when stretching, or a smaller body to play whilst sitting on the couch, or for use as a convenient songwriting tool, instead of a great big Gibson jumbo!

  Great video! I appreciate your comments, opinions and playing. Would you happen to know what strings came with the Yamaha SLG100N Silent Guitar. I had to replace them and have not been able to find any similar. They sounded and felt great. The treble strings were a milky white color and they had a tiny thin red plastic tip at the end of the string. They also felt more like a steel string than a nylon string. If you have any thoughts on which strings you think they may be I would really appreciate. Thank you!

  So, 'rectified' merely means, through a certain process, the string is, after initial extrusion, 're-extruded' or some how shaven to remove 'mountains and valleys' along its length, making the string nearest to perfectly contoured throughout, in turn retaining the best intonation on each note along it.. Yes ?

  Hi, thanks for the video but what about doing away with supports and footstools altogether and hold the guitar across your body with the bottom of the guitar on your right lap steadied by the right arm like Scott Tenant and Michael Chapdelaine ? It looks entirely natural and comfortable, probably would take some getting used to but I think it would be better for posture and also would eventually feel great. I have started to try that and it feels good and right to play in that position. I have tried supports but they can’t quite seem to be able to position the guitar central across your body, they are either one side or another.

  thats sort of the point, the guiar isn't supposed to sit straight acrossed your body, because you actually have to roll your shoulder over your instrument much further this way, and while some musicians might make it look natural, it probably has more to do with habit and playing style then ergonomics, and if you arent already doing it, there isn't a point to force yourself to play with the instrument in this fashion, often the seat you use will not be the perfect hight or even the same hight every time, so with foot pedals or these supports, it allows the player in any environment to elevate their insturment into a position that allows them a sturdy and memorable "base" to begin from, and then they can shift around from this ergonomic position, if the player starts with the instrument flat across them and sittin with both feet straight, they are unlikely to be playing with any sort of feel or doing any sort of precision playing or fingerstyle, because the instrument is just often going to be too far away from the body if it sits all the way down on the lap without having some angle to it. thats why its an exception to see players do that and not a rule, and what is more important that the "perfect" position, is to do physical therapy, and don't play in any position for more that 20 or 30 mins without a break. i have to shift all over to different spots, and i am battling pain more for the fact that I don't do enough corrective and strengthening to combat the playing and sitting that i do. So exercise more and take breaks, relax your breath and try to catch yourself slouching, if the position you begin in has your slouching over, you are not going to be able to correct it by putting a stick in your back and trying to fight your natural posture, you will need to be posturally accurate, and what you will notice is the musicians you reference are old school. old school individuals have a naturally more upright posture because of the lack of technology that has us looking down and slouching, so don't try to be something you aren't because you saw it on tv. Pedals and footstools are necessary and very helpful in this.

  @@Lagger-HD The way I described across the body with the guitar on right thigh, clutching the guitar without support ie Scott Tenant’s position now-I find it the best because nearly all other forms we have the problem that the feet are not firmly on the floor evenly and one has to cater for guitar going in between the legs, which creates unevenness. With this form it is comfortable as both feet are aligned together with feet firmly rooted on the ground and the sound hole is naturally aligned with the hands. It even in my opinion seems to resonate the guitar better as the body is almost hugging it across the chest. I feel grounded and much more comfortable with this way. No temptation to play with toes lifted or anything like that, even with supports it seems to generate uneven positions like that with the tendency to raise the guitar with lifting your right ankle or tendency to want to bring the guitar closer. Footstools especially had been troublesome to me in creating this tension and unevenness. Yes agreed with what you are saying about breaks and relaxing though very important. I am naturally not very good at guitar, as a result have been adjusting my form experimenting more than anyone else would in my opinion. If one is naturally good one doesn’t question the way it has always been done as they don’t have to question their guitar positioning and ergonomics as much as someone who can’t quite get to grips and feel at ease with the instrument 😊

  I also feel this is the most natural position, holding the guitar this way feels like a natural embrace. Check out also Flavio Sala and Ricardo Gallén, they also rest the guitar on their right thigh (Ricardo, with legs crossed like flamenco guitarists) and play like nobody’s business…!!!

• 
  @christofinb4 ай бұрын

  @@Soberan yes agree but the cross legged position I find I found is quite uncomfortable as you have to lean over like with most flamenco players. For me it has to be on the right thigh but steadied by the right arm in some way with pads on the back of the guitar as well as the butt to stop it sliding of the body. Michael Chapdelaine adopted this really well also seems common with South American players not so much (but some) flamenco players.

  Thank you for your review of this. I currently have a Cordoba Dolce (which is a 7/8). Same dimensional specs, nut, etc. Shorter scale. I am thinking of going with the the normal or higher tension. Your C10 definitely has an overall much better tone (although your playing adds a lot to the difference I am hearing - for the better I mean, of course). I do not play classical guitar pieces, but love the sound of this guitar (and my dolce). I play folk music, mostly from the 50s - 80s. My style is my own and when I hear people tell me I ought to play classical pieces with the guitar I kind of cringe.

  Difference between C9 and C10 in Cordoba guitars, please? I'm looking a guitar to play bossa nova. Which one is the best choice? Spruce or Cedar?

• 
  @taylorm7719 ай бұрын

  C9 is solid mahogany back & sides, C10 is solid Indian rosewood. Neither cedar nor spruce or "better" than the other, simply different tools for different jobs. -Cedar: Darker, warmer tone. More bass & mid focused. Loses a bit of clarity vs. spruce -Spruce: Bright tone. Tight bass response, less bass "depth" vs. cedar. Clear and precise. Singing trebles Only way to know which you like more is to play both side-by-side.

  @@markcohen8770 Hi Mark, wow, that's quite a personal relation, thanks for sharing. Of course, our tastes change over time, same goes for guitars, eventually one wants a new one instead of an older one to get better and enhance one's playing, though the selection process isn't always a simple one. No guitar or gear is perfect I guess, we just need to find what sounds best for what we play. Indeed, Aquila are a cool company and I do enjoy their strings, they're very well balanced and quite loud, some of them also have a sweet tone. The balance is, I guess, one of their main strengths, so that's great for playing classical/baroque. I've also used the Sor Op. 56No. 8 to test string separation, Sor was quite the guitar composer. By the way, have you tried Höfner strings? These are quite good, imo, at lest they've had a very good effect on a guitar from my own experience. Also worth a try are Knobloch strings - although a bit more expensive, they have a regular nylon (SN), brighter nylon (not sure of the material), QZ I believe, and a carbon version (CX). They also provide a good balance across the strings and sound good overall, from my experience.

Are they very balanced from string to string? I'm sort of looking for that currently, or strings that could 'tighten up' a warmer guitar. The Savarez Alliance strings are pretty cool, very solid carbons that have a balanced and bright (clear) sound, also quite good for overly boomy guitars. I like Augustines in general, I think they're very solid, both the Imperials and the Classics, I haven't tried the Paragons yet. I find that both the Classics and the Imerials make the guitar sound pretty loud and improve the string to string balance. Cheers!
