"Watermelon in Easter Hay" (acoustic variations on a Yamaha THR10)

[alfstone]

...well...

...the fact that this song is a kind of obsession for me, you should know, since I've already posted it here:

BUT

2 evenings ago I've begun to fiddle around with my brand new Yamaha THR10...and a TC Electronic Ditto Looper...and my Martin guitar...

...and with no precise direction or intention, this one came out from...who knows?

So, please consider it just a sound test for acoustic guitar in the "acoustic"   setup of the THR10.

Everything recorded in one take (Ditto Looper for the riff and strumming), using the knobs of the THR10 just according to my taste...(and anyway this, IMO, makes this Yamaha so great, no thousands of useless presets, just try till you find a sound that's right for you...). I've recorded it using the phones out from the THR10 (yes, Andy, it sounds great!) to the line in of the BR600.

Nothing else added, with Adobe Audition I've just setup the volume to a proper level.

My sensation...my guitar has NEVER sounded better (as amplified), so rich and full!

Enjoy!

The variations sometimes are/become beautyful songs... in this case, it's true.
a perfect mood to make an audio test...

Great sound and guitar, great recording and performance!!!

Love your guitar playing

Bravo!

One of my favorite Zappa tunes. There's a cool video of Dweezil paying this after avoiding it for years. You can see how overcome he is in the video.

Killer job on this. I could just float away listening to this rendition.

Wonderful.

Stunning sound and stunning playing. One of my favourite Zappa instrumentals as well.

Well done doctor!!

Thanks everybody! 

Thanks Blooby, I didn't know that video.
Dweezil must be a very sensible guy. He is moved also in the documentary I posted some time ago, about his return at his ancients' little town, few miles from here (only Italian, no English version, sorry...)

Jean Pierre,

if you need it ONLY for the ACOUSTIC guitar, no doubt: THR5A (remember, THR5A, not THR5...). It costs less than the THR10 and is perfect for the acoustic.

If you need instead something with less "acoustic" simulations, and more towards the electric guitar, according to your tastes of blues player, I would suggest the THR10 or, even better, THR10C (blues oriented)

Here are some videos of the THR5A (in Italian, but what matters is the sound)
