Jason is making incredibly nice guitars. They are feather light and they *move* when you play them - a very exciting sensation! And the action is insanely comfortable. You *must* check out his guitars...

RE: Jason McGuire Flamenco Guitar Cu... (in reply to rombsix)
Nice. When you do that slide up the string at 0:30 in the granaina, do it in time such that the index is hitting each fret as if playing individual chromatic notes. Some people do it starting at F natural so the timing is more precise based on subdivisions to land on the B at the 7th fret.

So you mean slowly, so each note sounds rather than going very fast up to the higher position?

I don't understand this part. Can you show me an example?

Hey Ramzi, nice playing (though I am getting slightly tired of your favorite chord sequence - granaina is great for a change). So you are selling everything else is because you are totally satisfied with this new purchase?
RE: Jason McGuire Flamenco Guitar Cu... (in reply to zendalex)
The favorite chord sequence has become a standardized reference track now, funnily, to allow more comparable sound tests between instruments.
I am selling everything because I am completely thrilled with Jason's guitar, and I think the search is finally over, so no use holding onto all the other instruments. Other folks should enjoy them...
