Wooow! The guitar and the playing!

The close up on the strings vibrating is like the diagrams (that I still do't quite understand) come to life!

So cool! I had a chance to introduce myself to him at the Tomatito show in DC, but the flow of crowd and conversation dragged us to opposite sides of the lobby.

I see the light-colored bindings :^) A close-up, por favor?

Amazing guitar, and playing!
I like the way the camera captures de different vibrations on the strings, are those actually the partials of the string or just a sight effect?

I think those funny waves on the string are sometimes an illusion caused by the way the camera captures the image. I do not know how modern cameras work, but if you scan across a moving image, you get weird things. Old film cameras sometimes had focal plane shutters, which were a slit that moved across the aperture. If the object was moving, straight lines could come out curved in a still photo.

Only an effect of the camera, capturing one scanline at a time. Next scanline, the string has moved a bit (at its fundamental frequency, partials are much smaller amplitude), and so on, which ends up looking like a sine wave.

Great guitar and playing

But that darn baby ruined it for me gaah

Thanks, for the kind words everyone.

Yes, Hesh that's the same guitar. As you see the player can make a bit of difference ;-)

Jim, the light colored bindings were an idea that I got from you. I used Costello/Castello/Costelo, also called Boxwood (although it isn't truly Boxwood). Its a near match for the Cypress, colorwise, but quite hard and dense. Here's a picture.

Thanks Max. I did get myself a chunk of Costello too, but haven't used it yet so I was very curious to see how close a match it is. Pretty good! I'm going to keep using the similar scheme.
