General Discussion / A recent Pierre Bensusan show ...

Last post by Blooby - Today at 06:57:39 PM

I first got hip to Pierre Bensusan when I researched a tune called "Bensusan" by Michael Hedges. My first album by him (Spices) was played many a late night and rainy afternoon.

I am extremely grateful to Songcrafters' own Jean Pierre for rekindling my appreciation for this artist (after probably a decade or more away), and I am pleased as punch to say I was able to attend his first Florida appearance last month. If you take the time, this show will put most of you in a wonderfully calm headspace. 

For Jean Pierre...

I missed this one when it was posted over 6 months ago. Lovely weaving melodies and those great chord changes to chords I probably never heard of. Nice bass lines too and the overall production/arrangement is first class.

I think there's a finger smudge on that black finish, lol! Black finishes are gorgeous but they do show all the smudges in the right light. I have a Black Takamine (steel string) and I'm constantly polishing it. That is a great looking Taylor (both of them) Paul. Does it have a flat fretboard? I look forward to hearing it in a song!

Beautiful. Looks like a relatively narrow fingerboard width compared to other classical guitars?

Congratulations!

Yes it is 1 7/8" so not as daunting width wise as traditional classical guitars which suits me.  More of a hybrid..  It probably wouldn't be right for a "proper" classical guitar player though.
