ellyssianThis tune, performed here by Damien Aribert, was written by Badi Assad and Jeff Young (yes, the Jeff Young who has played guitar in Badi's band is the exact same Jeff Young who played on Megadeth's So Far, So Good...So What!
=)
As far as unique approaches to the classical - or any, really - guitar go, Damien is uniquer. Maybe uniquest.
It's not just the orientation of the guitar itself. Lap steel guys do that, Jeff Healey does that. It's the whole drumstick thing.
He essentially has turned his guitar into a... I don't know... harp? two harps? hammered dulcimer that isn't hammered?
Yeah, it's like that.
Although they don't show much of the venue in the video, looks like a nice gothicky cathedral or castle...

Date: 2008-10-21 11:03 pm (UTC)I'm very happy and honoured to see my video here, thank you very much... and too for your beautiful comments! :)
It's completely true when you said it's like two harps, in my opinion that's what thought the great Badi Assad.
The open tuning of the instrument is very special, from 1st to 6th string: D A G D A D, it's very opened... and of course, the technic is very different of the classical guitar, because it's like we play with right hands...
Thanks again!
Friendly,
Damien
