The Acoustic Thread

[olegmcnoleg]

But! Sir! Oleg started it!

Me??? Started what??? I never touched him...

Ironically, this thread has reminded me of just how awesome Justin Hawkins is (see JB's last post above), so now I'm listening to The Darkness and Hot Leg on repeat. Not much acoustic guitar in that, but wow it makes me smile.

I don't have the most eclectic taste in music. That video of Justin Hawkins' channel was quite enjoyable, and now I have another bunch of stuff to discover!

The Darkness were huge in the UK for a while. It is very tongue in cheek metal. Like Queen and Def Leopard had a cross-dressing love child with a strong sense of irony.

Pretty sure The Darkness are touring here imminently - or they just left. Also think they were playing Vic uni, and it's not a been massively publicised thing.

This pretty much sums up my mental health for years…

Good call! Just checked...they are playing the Powerstation on Oct 22. Cool.

They are cool. I saw them on Tuesday night in Melbourne. Well worth the effort if you can get a ticket.

That Ibanez guitar sounds absolutely terrible. Really thin and trebly, almost no sustain. I suppose it suits this style of playing & music well as it is easy to get it over the top of the mix. And playing that fast, you need attack & not sustain.

That Ibanez review has to be computer generated, it makes no sense.

ME: Write a critical review of the Ibanez TOD10N Tim Henson Signature 6-String Nylon Guitar

ChatGPT: The Ibanez TOD10N Tim Henson Signature 6-String Nylon Guitar is a premium instrument that is marketed towards serious musicians. While it certainly has some impressive features and high-quality construction, it is not without its flaws.

One issue with this guitar is its price point, which is significantly higher than many other comparable instruments. For some musicians, the premium price tag may not be justifiable, especially given the competition in the market.

Additionally, some players may find the modified neck profile to be a bit of an acquired taste. While the flatter radius is intended to make playing fast, complex chords and arpeggios easier, it may take some time for players to adjust to the new neck shape. Additionally, the electronics system, while certainly impressive, may be too advanced for some players who are looking for a more traditional acoustic guitar experience.

In terms of sound quality, the Ibanez TOD10N Tim Henson Signature 6-String Nylon Guitar is solid, but it may not suit every player's individual preferences. The warm and clear tone produced by the European spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides is perfect for classical and flamenco styles, but some players may find it to be a bit too bright for other playing styles.

Overall, the Ibanez TOD10N Tim Henson Signature 6-String Nylon Guitar is a well-made instrument that has some standout features, but it is not without its drawbacks. Whether or not this guitar is the right choice for you will largely depend on your individual preferences and needs as a musician.
