Hi there Gus. I just got the same model of Yamaha yesterday. That's what led me to your channel. Any comments or suggestions about the setup of the instrument itself? I really like it overall, but it feels so oddly disconnected from the physical resonance part of playing .....going to be an adjustment. Again, great playing, and such clarity in your chord transitions. 👍
Hi Sean! Yes, I definitely found there was an adjustment process too. On the settings, I've personally found the default to be VERY bass heavy, so I compensate by turning the treble all the way up, and bass all the way down. The truss rod needed a little tweak on mine too. As for the lack of depth, I've found that bracing a stiff cushion behind the body can give it a bit more 'body' to push against. Might take some experimenting depending on the position you play in. I've found playing with headphones for a little while helped me really get attuned with its nuances. Asides from that, happy plucking, and thanks for watching! Gus
Bass all the way down, treble all the way up, and a little reverb! 🙂 I use bx Rooms, but I'm sure many reverbs would suffice. The onboard one is pretty good too.
I dial the treble all the way up, bass all the way down, and the blend setting all the way up too (all the way to the 'mic' setting)! I have a reverb I use through Logic too, but the reverb on the silent guitar is pretty good!
Finally, now I know the bass notes can be well balanced even on a silent guitar like this. Thank you and congratulations for you performance.
Very nice. I once played Wave at a concert on trumpet. Great playing.
Beautiful playing
Nice work! Congratulations!
Thank you, friend!
When you do the line before the Dmaj, it sounds like you add a fifth beat, but you later compensate. Genius
Ahh, thank you!
My internal rhythm is often not the greatest, so it wouldn't be beyond me to take/add beats - but I'll take genius!
Badass!
Ripping. Nice work.
Thanks, friend!

Could you explain to me how to get that tone ? Mine sound like a soulless robot yours sound like a legit recorded acoustic guitar

Gus, como consigues este sonido con la Silent?
