I had the privilege of learning from Pierre Bensusan at one of his residential seminars, in Bouresches, France, and what I learned there has informed my playing ever since. I seldom play in DADGAD any more, but his seminar was much more about music making than it was about tuning, or, for that matter, guitar.
That is a brilliant description of Pierre's new album (and his music in general). Thanks for uploading this quality recording of one of my favorite artists ever.
fantastic player playing a beautiful guitar. The Guitar, for the guitar freaks is a "Pierre Bensusan signiture George Lowden". These guitars are Hand made in Ireland and in the hands of guitarist like Pierre Bensusan are second to none. £5K and i want one
i wish the older video would resurface of this song wearing a complete blue suit ,and he did his scat style vocals along with the last 1/3 of the song hymn 11
@lifelongfan07 classical guitars don't have pins. only steel stringed guitars do. and yes it is a very nice guitar, i myself have a takamine electro-classical and i adore it, it is beautiful to play :)
The power of Pierre Bensusan's playing is most evident....when it stops.
Best steel string composer there ever was or ever will be.
Oh Pierre, such mesmerising playing. Thank you so much for all you bring to us.

Floating away on the rippling waves of his notes, I am wanting more. Bravo.

Yes, I had the blue suit video but lost it somewhere. That was from a performance at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC.
my favourate song~
The "New Lady" is really a fine instrument. I noticed it doesn't have pins and the strings go through the bridge. I'd buy one if I had 9k.
It is steel strung but has a "through bridge" design. Generally with better string stability and resonance. Most Lowdens use this design.
was this at the IMT concert a couple weeks ago? pierre has gone back to acoustic?
@mrjohnbutler Pierre's guitar is steel stringed it is not a classical guitar and it doesn't have bridge pins.
