I don't see how the holes would affect the strings at all, but I imagine it increases the resonant frequency of the body. That would boost the highs a bit, boost the mids a bit more, and lose some of the lower range. That would make the guitar brighter and sound more detailed, which is what you're going for in this track. You could probably get the same effect by using a smaller body or putting something in the body to temporarily make the cavity smaller.

@atashgallagher5139 Жыл бұрын
Try picking up the drums first if you've never learned an instrument before. It's a lot easier to get into it and sound ok enough to want to practice more, I mean you can sound fairly good with your hands, a desk, and your own thigh. There's lots of other percussion instruments the skills translate fairly well over to. And once you learned one instrument learning another one isn't so hard. Also, a huge plus is you can get an electric set and practice almost completely silently. Not disturbing neighbors or your own self consciousness. Or you can jump straight to guitar, that's what most people do.

I feel like I’d need a side by side comparison of what the same guitar sounded like before & after the holes were drilled, with the same mic settings, the same impulse response or reverb or whatever you’re using for the space effect, in order to really appreciate how significant or subtle of an effect it had. It sounds good, but I’m sure it sounded good before; impossible to judge without a comparison. I do like the idea of doing a trepanation surgery on your guitar though. 😂 Like the holes release the air pressure inside the resonant chamber & allow the qi to flow.

No. It’s a direct detriment to the guitar and nothing but click bait. If you do this it will render the guitar practically worthless for normal use without the addition of post processing. The s/hole is a focal point for a reason. And we don’t build them in this manner for a reason. Basic math. He’s carried by ability and after effect. Don’t be drawn in by nonsense like this.

You can work on that tune forever without getting tired. That's one thing that, say, a pianist never understood with our instrument. A piece like the mentioned; we'll hardly get any cred from them, for whom a similar tune may be played easily like a breeze prima vista. Few other instruments are so welcoming for a beginner, but so demanding for the keen student - said guitar tutor Frederick Maurice Noad. Question to you mate: what's the pitch of the natural harmonic slightly above the 3rd fret, 4th string?
