Actually, the guy manages to make music, but oy me, the gear required to make it. Simultaneously ingenious and strange.

OMG. Not sure that I entirely understand everything that's happening. Luca Stricagnoli can pull this off. One guitar neck at a time is enough for me.

Hmmm.
I both liked it, and didn’t like it. I thought the harmonics were wanky, and wasn’t wild about his tone. But the slide thing was interesting, and he is obviously is talented. I’m not saving my money for one though.

That's not gear Russell, this is gear.

Yeah well...I have completely mastered playing an open G chord without using my index finger!

You're confusing me, JohnB. Why mess with a perfectly good chord?

G Open is simple... and the 88 ivories is better & simple also

Back to the gadgetry. I'm not going to find out, but I kind of wonder how many pieces of his I would hear before they all starting sounding very similar.

I thought it was pretty cool. I didn’t quite get how it was hooked to the guitar. Came off easy.
If you started a set with standard singer songwriter stuff and then stuck that gadget on there for the last song the audience would be talking about it for two weeks.
Leave em wanting more is probably a good approach with that rig. Small doses.

There's a click as he puts the slide neck on--I suspect a magnetic attachment, like the the way the SageWork support connects.
What I can't tell is whether the slide neck has its own pickup, since I couldn't see whether there was a cord coming from it. The main guitar body has two cords, maybe one is for the soundhole mag and one for a soundboard pickup (he'd need one for the thumb-thumps). The slide sound is quite mag-sounding.

The pickup is at the top of the neck, near the "nut" (which is actually the bridge, since the neck is reversed).

There's a pickup on the slide neck. What is strange is it's backwards playing. The pickup is near the headstock. And he plucks the headstock side of the slide. Very unusual. I like his tapping on the top for percussion. The acoustic guitar must have 2 pickups. It's very acoustic sounding, so it's not just a mag. Very complex sound. I suppose it's possible it's not a live video. There are plenty of camera cuts that would allow for splicing. No visible microphones. Though I'm certain he could play the thing live. Very sophisticated sound setup. I still like it. |

His slide is very accurate. Every note.
Good stuff.
