Here is my full set at the Astra in Berlin, Germany on November 15th 2012. Part of The Guitar Masters Tour, November 2012.
Since I've got loads of questions on my live set-up, here it is:
I go out of my guitar (K&K trinity mini) stereo. Send the pure pick-up into my Tonebone pz-pre preamp (made by Radial). The mic goes in the K&K blender for giving it the batterry power. Then the outputs of those goes into a small sound card (I use a Native instruments Komplete Audio 6), into my laptop with Mainstage (I used Logic pro as well before) . I did some eqs on both signal in the studio to get rid of some crap. I put some preamp simulators and a good lexicon verb plugin. Then, on the master out, I put some more eqs that I use to make a room eq with my guitar for each concert and room I'm playing in. I go over all the frets during sound check for notching more or less some frequency bumps. When I feel everything is pretty much even and flat, I let the PA guy do the rest.

If they played music like this on the radio, I'd listen to the radio.

[@emptytombprod]

So true

[@senselesssoberity]

I love musicians like this, because they have a spiritual connection to their instrument, they really know how to speak without words, it's magnificent.

Watching my little man's heart rate monitor at 1245 in the morning, listening to En Tattendant, waiting for a c-section in the morning. Been waiting for the perfect moment to listen to the song for years!

[@metalrulezU]

loved his introduction to these moments, he seems a bit nervous when speaking you can hear it in his voice but he's a very funny man :D

[@trewq398]

that was really funny

[@EddievanderMeer]

I like the song sooo much! Great :)

[@elijaharias2012]

EDDIE!!

[@LoveLove-fy1hx]

Wow eddie my one of the fav fingrstyle guitarist

[@ParishSouth]

"these moments about the time you wait while i tune"..........epic

[@trewq398]

Yeah, that one was awesome.

[@Wooooahhh6272]

Does anyone know of a video showing the tuning for these moments? I can’t find a name or anything on it

[@ph6364]

That kind of music brings you to a place that you can't explain to other person how much magical this place is.

[@kaingates]

It's heartwarming to see the KZbin community (and the amount of views!!) in the fingerstyle genre :) Polite and nice people everywhere I turn. As a very shy guy I feel confident enough to put some of my music out there as soon as I become good enough.

[@marcusstoica]

A true musician, Antoine is

[@ervinpajazetovic9834]

Hi Yoda

[@OliveraEnterprise]

Some of my most calm moments is when I take the time to just sit back and listen to the expertise put into this sort of instrumental. It just puts me in a place where I feel free from me, and I thank you for your ability to do so. :)

[@jnl5299]

I wish I could play like that....really, really great!

[@michaelsama]

Who the hell downvotes guitar work like this! You're the man Antoine!

[@Matreynaud]

Je viens juste de vous découvrir et 10 minutes dans le concert je suis bouche bée... les yeux écarquillés... Merci!

[@JaimeBuckley]

This is the most beautiful music i have ever heard on a guitar Antoine. Brilliant, uplifting, inspiring. Buying your album....wow.

[@johnhughes7503]

Angel hands. Making an instrument sing with harmonics that would grace a heavenly choir.

[@evianx1]

dufour is a true talent and you can tell he was made for it just listen to his body of work , it speaks for itself. very inspiring music.

[@JohnOShaughnessy]

aaahhhhhhhhh! exquisite!!!!!!!!! sends me into another dimension I always love to play around in DADGAD doing Irish stuff.... I must say though Antoine, you're GREAT!

[@AlAndScher]

"Hiding Place for the Moon": definitely one of the best pieces played on acoustic guitars I've ever heard (in my ears). The melody lines above the chords are so tender and ethereal. Listening takes you away from the earth.

[@MrEdesign]

Thank you very much for sharing with us! Such a great afternoon working with you playing "live" in the background! ^^

[@northland..]

best show I've ever watched. ever. this is god given out of this world talent by antoine.

[@Despond]

It's just amazing the pool of talent that grows every year with guitarists. Sure this type of music isn't popular to the club facebook masses and it's all EDM and hi hop but the standard of guitar keeps getting higher.

[@AntoineDufour]

[@wendellshortt2066]

Excellent stuff Antoine!

[@chrisjzeiner]

Great live sound Antoine!

[@BrunovandeWerve]

Wooow super!! Quelle maitrise! Quel groove!! C#, G#, E, F#, B, E#... interesting :)

[@TirtaLeonardi]

Loved it !! Thanks for adding me to your circle :) it surprised me ,haha

[@bluescanfly1981]

***** I think he said D# instead of E#

[@naryanr]

I can play most of Antoine's stuff, but if I tried a thousand times I'd never be able to play them all in a row without mistakes like this. This is just on another level entirely. Such amazing confidence in such unbelievable skill.

[@elbryan4751]

He’s a different breed

[@RandyH524]

this was the first video this year that i could sit through more than 5 mins. incredible. watched the whole thing from start to finish. Antoine was incredible. I was amazed at the last song. Preston and Andy are so awesome. I wish to join the stage with them someday.

[@andysuter2809]

How the hell does anyone dislike this video? Baffling.

[@brendanm.buckley7082]

they would have to be D bags... just a guess!

[@Tinhamodic]

Simply amazing!

[@dilmeang16]

WOW! I NEVER KNEW A GUITAR COULD SOUND LIKE THAT! WHOA! HE IS AWESOME!!!!!!! TRUELY ORIGINIAL, CREATIVE, AND JUST PURE AWESOMENESS!!!

[@gmdrummerboy]

This is a style of guitar playing that i never got into. Mainly because I tried it and failed. Lol. But its so cool how they make these sounds come out of an acoustic. I'd rather just sit back in amazement and enjoy what these guys have accomplished in music. Awesome stuff. Thanks for the dust on my acoustic!

[@xhike162]

I miss Micheal Hedges. Antoine your music helps. Thanks,

[@lifelongfan07]

"These Moments" is such a cool tune.

[@jgimben1260]

Love playing in drop tuning. What he did in the beginning is he lined all his notes up with one another. Like, sometimes I'll tune mine to; DADAAD ( I think ) and it sounds so nice when strummed with an open chord that you can start to get into a groove and mess around with various notes and it's just great! This guy rocks!

[@HammadRashid]

one of the best live guitar act i have seen, amazing

[@AlphaRapax]

These guys are like an orchestra unto themselves

[@trevordunne6167]

Friggen Awesome !!

[@mkilptrick]

I've heard a lot of guitarist in my years but Dufour gives me joy when ever I hear him play. He really takes advantage the whole instrument and what it has to offer.

[@astralmarmoset]

Wow, this blew me away. Thanks for being a guitar player, the world needs music.

[@BlueLillica]

I've viewed this at least 20 times...I don't think I'll ever get tired of Antoine Dufour!!! I used to hate guitar before I heard you.... Keep going and awesome work!!!

[@junior9669]

Gyury Lee This guy's music is really fucking amazing! I Love every single minute of this show!

[@BlueLillica]

Antonio Junior I know!!! And I'm the only one I've ever personally known that even likes acoustic guitar. We are both awesome for lovin' this stuff

[@Jonsk12394]

Gyury Lee You used to hate guitar? wat

[@BlueLillica]

Jon Bonbon Yeah I always used to think that guitar was only chords and boring old folktale tunes...Boy was I wrong

[@bituco94]

Who hates guitar? It's like if you were to hate food.

[@everettdalton5549]

I think it's funny how he says he's bad at multitasking, then he plays a song where his right hand is playing the drums and guitar at the same time while his left hand plays a beautiful melody.

[@abhilashchoudhury3208]

great show.. wonder how I missed it for so many days.. but not anymore.. Antoine is a gem

[@mackenziewood4686]

Keep going back to the 17 minute mark... Your music is actually music, you have the capability to make people feel something just by sound. No words needed. Very moving.

[@lelandro42]

Soooo...uhhhh....how many guitars is this guy playing at once cuz it sounds like 3 at least. He’s incredible.

[@haiiyaa1]

To all video directors out there, stop this panning and zooming, so frickin' annoying. Antoine is just sitting and playing some awesome guitar, and I want to watch him peacefully. This is not a music video!!

[@RhetoricalSyndicate]

ahaha, the video editing and camera work was almost nauseating! so needless, especially for such lovely music.

[@devidewefal]

Its to teach silly willey tricks are for Wabitts

[@devidewefal]

The Man is Beautiful

[@JackTheRabbitMusic]

@@devidewefal Rabbits don't like tricks...it's a myth. We also hate carrots. 🐰🎸🎵✌️

[@devidewefal]

Silly wabitts trick tips are cartoonistic liberties!!

[@rharoundworldcp]

I have never been so glued to the screen before; what a way to enthrall the listener. I wish to be in the audience of your show some time in the near future.

[@andfreitaz]

I just can't stop listening, thats awesome.

[@NickCulbertson]

11:17 is the jam "These Moments"

[@brosephstalin87]

Love how it gets chunky at 5:08

[@MrHestichs]

What song is it?

[@maxwencelides3541]

MrHestichs dracula, friends and I

[@Miggs7170]

The sound engineer at this venue needs a raise. The audios in this video are sublime.

[@brendanm.buckley7082]

I totally agree, such a rich and beautiful sound!

[@Miggs7170]

@@brendanm.buckley7082 Thanks for the reminder to revisit this set!

[@DrBromiAndufEwd]

Thank you SO much for this Antoine! I've never been able to attend any of your performances, and I feel like this is the next best thing!

[@MrColdkilla69]

im here in my room clapping on my own after each of the performance. is that weird? XD

[@GilbertTang]

AsianismRice Yes.

[@brosettastone7520]

AsianismRice yea that’s kinda weird

[@LDacic]

Unless that's a picture of you clapping after each song, you should be fine.

[@gf1478]

Weird is good.

[@togue777]

Don't feel bad. I'm here in tears after the first piece alone blown away by the beauty of it.

[@lerimachado]

Wowwwwwww .... !! Fantastic !! !!! :)

[@Slav_4ik]

Great concert! Beautifull play!

[@CloudysGuitarChannel]

I cannot wait to listen to this. Don't have the time yet but I am very excited for this video!

[@guibox3]

"And it's called 'Dees Moments." LOL. That's a Frenchman for you! Great guitar playing.

[@FAGarcia23]

Aliens...

[@DouglasRoss1]

Truly an honor to hear and see. Thank you!

[@Outie1179]

My god.... Hiding place for the moon was played beautifully. my all time favorite song. and I got to see them play it in my hometown almost a year ago

[@sepulchre10]

Yeah, he's Great! . . . So where can I get one of those capos?

[@sepulchre10]

Antoine Dufour Wow! Thanks Antoine!

[@HeavyMetalTherapy]

James Pattison buy a banana and wait some weeks

[@TaalianLIVE]

Ken Graves He has one, and you don't :)

[@sartoriusrock]

+Ken Graves "Since I don't have a very cool car, and I cannot show off or be cool with my car, I decided to show off my capos... I have this... ultra-cool capo... very cool... you don't have it." Something about that still cracks me up...

[@kingrobert1st]

Seems like he`s carrying on where Michael Hedges left off.

[@winchesterzombii9986]

+King Robert They all are.

[@merelvh]

What's so special about Antoine is that he combines incredible techniques with beautiful, catchy melodies. Amazing show!

[@dark_s1te797]

this guy is litteraly my biggest acustic inspiration and ive never seen anyone on yt that hits my soothing goal as much as he do... antoine you are a legend! im showing you to all the people i can get away with. hope you never stop composing :)

[@XXRakan]

i know this question might sound silly but are these strings steel strings or plastic

[@aartsen8]

He plays steel strings (By the way, I think the word you were looking for was nylon instead of plastic, even though it are technically the same;) )

[@yovalgo1]

Aartsen Nice polite reply sir! I like that :)

[@HawxGaming]

yovalgo1 why can't everyone on youtube be like us? A little politeness on the internet goes far :) Beautiful guitar playing and worth watching all the way through.

[@yovalgo1]

Hawx :) true

[@SpeedKillsHD]

i was thinking the same thing cause he plays like their nylon with the insane bending and technique. does anyone know what size strings he uses?

[@NinjaDaveJams]

This definitely djents.

[@jockejocke1]

+Ninja Dave What does that mean?

[@NinjaDaveJams]

To have such focus is amazing......just to have a smidget of this discipline I long for in my Listening skills. Amazingly Glorious Antoine Dufour

[@staffansvahn]

Thank you so much of this present. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Staffan

[@rickj895]

wow this guy sounds amazing, i think better then andy

[@degaboss]

dude antoine is really really good, but andy is just better IMHO

[@ApolloBows]

degaboss I like Antoine more personally but both are equally talented although would like Antoine to do more stuff like These Moments and A Hiding Place For The Moon, those both pieces destroy Drifting which Andy is famous for but like i said they both look like they have married there guitars which is the best choice cause there the only thing you can marry which make a noise you enjoy.

[@TheGhostrecon19]

degaboss I think that it's all about opinion, every modern fingerstyle guitarist like Antoine, Andy,Jon Gomm got their own style, their own tunes and they respect each other.When you say a guy is better than another,then you should mean that i like his song more than the other's song. I really never compare one to another, I enjoy the masterpieces they made, each song is beautiful in it's way.

[@rickj895]

yep you have a point!

[@thetikitony]

richard jedlicka Antoine has a better understanding of his instrument, Andy has a little bit more natural talent. It's a trade. Technically, Antoine is more skilled.

[@dajusta87]

Looks like the bandana serves two purposes.. cosmetics and also to dampen the other side of the strings

[@thetikitony]

justun chan I can confirm that for you, he's said as much.

[@alguira]

justun chan True. Normally it not noticeable unless you play plugged and with a mic, in which case you "might" notice it. Depends also heavily on the guitar if it has a very bright sound and good projection. Cheers!

[@ninometalyears]

Incredible,really good,original,creative,technical and expressive....he has everything.....

[@calebbernstein5163]

changed my life as a teenager when I found this man and his guitar playing ... Antoine fan forever

[@elliotosborne1095]

Looks like 106 people don't have working speakers

just broken egos

Parece que só os gordinhos são bons com fingerstyle :/

Eu sei como você se sente mano ;-;

[@scottfishkind5335]

Seriously incredible talent in both composing and performance! So great to see the continuing creativity of players like Antoine and others who obviously have the commitment and passion to put in the years of study and training needed so that they can ultimately transcend the technical and create inspired music!

[@driftaw]

Merci Antoine ! Très généreux de ta part. Vraiment excellent ! Un talent exceptionnel de chez nous qui rayonne sur le globe.

[@RomanticGuitar-ns4qn]

Very calming and truthful it does hit deep down to the heart!! !😍❤😍

[@616Dalton]

You are one of the best guitarists i know of. I listen to your work almost every day and one day i will play music on my guitar as you do.

[@JeffPenaify]

These guys seem like such good people to hang with. So much talent none of the ego. Class acts

[@ShelteredTurtleMusic]

I'd like to point out how generous and wonderful it is for Antoine himself to upload an entire concert set AND list his live rig due to fan demand. What a world we live in. Antoine: thanks for making music that has kept me enthralled and inspired since I first saw your videos several years ago.

[@henrydenton6701]

How can you not like this?!!? The purity of an acoustic guitar in all of it's glory played by one of the elite masters of the instrument. I went to see Antoine in a blinding snowstorm a few years back and it was awe inspiring. Simply amazing

[@bernstock]

WOW! Amazing work Antoine

[@rwestone]

ive been following Andy For a Long time!, the most Amazing Acoustic player i have ever seen!

[@rbplaysa99olson]

I never get tired of watching this.... I hope you come to perform in Houston, TX some day.

[@samkeen]

These men are all friends, and I can tell you, they don't see it as a contest. It's a musical brotherhood of playing, they're not out to beat each other, they're just able to show almost every other genre how things should be done ;)

[@mikehoff7549]

2017 and I've bought all your albums. Play them on shuffle when walking with my daughters in the woods! Cheers from America!
