quote:
I think that the mid tones of a guitar are very important and very overlooked Yes, yes, yes and one more time yes And no... They are not overlooked, at least not by me. The dynamic range is the midrange, the growl, the bark the whatever you call it, the percussiveness playing rasgueados etc. Its of course important that a guitar is loud when you play with other persons, but projection and clartity is what counts the most. There´s nothing worse than a guitar with lots of bottom loudness and sustain. Loudness is good, but percussiveness and clarity is very important, if not, it gets muddy. Another thing is that a lot of players focus a lot on the 1st, 2nd and 6th string and not so much on the rest. In playing rasgueados, especially por medio, but also in general, its the 3rd and 4th string that really kicks you away. Flimsy 3rd and 4th string is the worst. And in order to have strong, a good strong midrange is essential. To this we add the capacity to distort slightly, but thats another story and maybe another thread
