Comments

 

I've been waiting a bit now for Tom's guitar and he did not disappoint.  Stellar workmanship, polish work, setup, incredible woods, Brazilian Rosewood that I don't believe you can find anywhere except buried in a luthier's workshop, buttery play with deep growling quick and raspy attack, decidely flamenco-ish, yet able to evince a classical character, with singing trebles and a wicked G string (I kinda like the sound of that!) relaying an overall voice that is incomparable.  An exceptional instrument from an exceptional luthier.

 

Sound Files  

Samantha's Lullaby by Richard F. Sayage - written for my baby girl (this is an excerpt).  I am not a flamenco player, unfortunately.  My tech is nowhere near to spec.  I wouldn't really try to pretend, thus I play what I know  :-)  The music is available here

Steve Schram playing some improvised flamenco technique.  He's using a Planet Waves NS Classical Guitar Capo on the 2nd fret in the following segment:  Blackshear_Flamenco_3

A beautiful and short piece performed by Don Soledad Group is available via YouTube where he is playing a Blanca Reyes Blackshear from 2004.  In my opinion, this more accurately reflects the true character of the Blackshear Reyes.

YouTube Link to Chris Gotzen-Berg playing Solea  -  MP3 of the same - these versions are without a capo

MP3 of the same piece with a capo at the 4th fret
