Charlie Worsham & LR Baggs

LR Baggs Artist, Charlie Worsham, stops by our Nashville loft to gear up for acoustic touring. He shares about his application of effects pedals and his desire to blend in a second source for a pristine acoustic signal to create huge tone with only one instrument. Charlie's M80 soundhole pickup runs through his effected electric rig and we install an Anthem SL for the acoustic DI signal.

when you see loyd put his hands on his face in disbelief.....says it all....amazing sound

[@95SLE]

Sorry for a post on a 5 year old video but this is the first video that i have run across that uses pedals to enhance the beauty of an acoustic guitar. Inspiration to keep on practicing every day. I am 71 and just took up the guitar after a 50 year layoff from playing. The Venue DI or the Para Acoustic D.I. will be my first pedal purchase. Thank you for making this video.

[@tkmaneely]

Thanks for sharing Charlie.....really enjoyed !

[@JoshwaBurke]

Some great sounds with the LR Baggs and pedal combinations!

[@teddysegil243]

Heavenly beautiful! Im addicted to thw sound of the guitar pick up and all the effects arrangement! Its so damn perfect!

[@Kristenrn30]

So beautiful, I love Mississippi in July and that just makes it next level, awesome!

[@johngallacher]

Wow. Some great sounds. So atmospheric! 👍

[@RyanChenMusic]

If Charlie does a solo acoustic tour like he plays here, I'd definitely go see him!

[@preludepc]

RyanChenMusic Was just in Milwaukee & did an acoustic show. He was great!

[@urbansoban2669]

Seriously impressive, everything, from the sounds to his playing.

[@mickeytilman2523]

gorgeous sounds - envious - great combinations

[@smileyfog]

This just blew my mind. Man oh man, wow. I actually don't have words. Unbelievable. Next level. Wow.

[@annreiff7403]

could listen to Charlie play 24/7, amazing

[@dougieladd]

Wow... night and day with the pickup install. Amazing. Been wanting to do this for ages myself.

[@jamesfoureight9879]

This video is so great. I love watching this one

[@byebye1493]

What a supremely beautiful glimpse into a divinely ordered heart connection between two masters.

[@Morganamps]

Amazing job Charlie!

[@jasonadams527]

Whoa!!! You are just what I wanted to hear. Thanks...

[@bettsdn]

Freaking sick. A great player with some great tech supporting him. Love it.

[@Michlandir]

Really dig the laid back format. Great playing, tones and vibe. Thanks for turning me on to a great new (to me) artist!

[@redbandmedia79]

Wow, a wonderful watch, thanks for taking the time to put this together.

[@byebye1493]

The sound quality on this video is astoundingly impressive, my god, I can hardly believe my ears.

[@2lunarmoon]

The sounds you captured in your first CD, captured me. Love that CD! So looking forward to another! Love your music, vocals, talent, and hard work ethics! Saw and spoke with you briefly at Mohegan sun :) I played professionally along the coast of Maine when I was younger. Hoping to see and hear you again soon. Thanks for sharing!

[@LouDynia]

Soooo coool!!! Thanks for that musical input !!!

[@stephenwhite9534]

Absolutely amazing

[@sidfernandez7569]

great intro! wonderful tones and riffs.

[@stevevaughan787]

Amazing stuff! Really inspires me! Thanks man!

[@MikaelLewisify]

Every time I get to thinking I’m pretty good at what I do, someone like Charlie pops up in my feed and knocks me right back down. Amazing. I’m actually installing a Lyric in my guitar this weekend. Excited to try it out.

[@fortybirds2035]

Pretty cool set up, love seeing how others play with acoustic sounds.

[@boybitzprod]

wow...awesome gear, awesome player!

[@alexismspgaming8260]

I wish Charlie would get the credit and respect he deserves. Man is truly a great.

[@VivekSinghVox]

Awesome I loved the sound😍😍

[@VirtusLenon]

My goodness! This is so inspiring!

[@0713mas]

Sounds amazing! dual sourced dream pick ups.. I did something similar when the M1 first came out, installed it into a Takamine guitar that already had a decent UST. which I ran through an acoustic effects modeling processor while I ran the M1a into a volume pedal mixer loop and finally to an acoustic amp. Sounds good but this demo is on another level

[@CristianoCezar]

what an insight this guy Charlie gave to you guys!! a blend of M80 + Anthem is definetely a new product for L.R.Baggs... without the piezo!

[@xavierbenedictraquel8202]

its so good in the ear.. keep up with the good work.

[@warriorsforjesus2308]

that sounds so beautiful. 😃 💕 💕 💕 💕 👍 👍 👍

[@sks6689]

That,s some wild an cool sound !

[@peterd5901]

Unbelievable sound.

[@jamesalanott9638]

Amazing sound... this is an exceptionally enjoyable video.

[@jamesalanott9638]

I got an education watching these two men. I'm so glad I purchased my lrbaggs di.

[@pastorcamacho4380]

So inspiring i ran my taylor with a SD Mag Mic in addition to the ES-2 pickup that comes with, and send the ES output to a cheap behringer Adi21 preamp, and the Magmic to an old-but-thrust Line 6 pod 2.0 and then send the two signals to the main mixer to play live with a band... sounds awesome! And thanks LR Baggs and Charlie for inspire me to try to achive new tones! I hope to swap my ES for the Anthem SL in a near future! Saludos desde México

[@silviojracustico7306]

não me canso de apreciar seus dedilhados ... São lindos 😍

[@caseywilliams271]

Oh man. That tone!

[@jamesgallag]

great sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@josephveazie]

I could listen to an album of this. Great stuff.

[@Bdavis1103]

Super cool man I’m about to put an m80 in my Eastman!! Very excited to play out with this rig.

[@OscarBenben]

Very nice setup mate 👍🏼 beautiful things

[@TylerDeaverMusic]

Charlie is awesome... saw him at the Opry a few times.

[@jimduffy9773]

I think that is now referred to as wet/dry. I'm glad I saw the two outputs from the guitar, otherwise not a full description in the video of what happened.

[@user-ec7uo7qd4r]

So good

[@brianpatrick6102]

Oh man, this is just wonderful in every way. the playing, the pickups, the fx/amp rig and the tones he has created. Annnnd the loft is so cool, a creative haven! So many great things happening in this vid. Thank you for sharing this!!! :) All smiles. I wish I could get him to share his fx settings.

[@1Aquadon]

Nice Vid... But I wish they would've done a rig rundown for all the ins & outs like Mike Dawes Rig Rundown Vid

[@001mladen]

Great low end sound.

[@harlan505]

This is amazing Charlie and sweet that you share it with your fans. Truly great sounds.

[@jed1166]

How cool would it be to have Lloyd himself do the install on your guitar!!! And, a bottle of Johnie Walker Double Black… hope I can visit the LR Baggs Nashville Loft someday! BTW, have ordered a RainSong Jumbo with a Stagepro Anthem factory installed… will add an M80 with separate endpin jack and a Y cable like Charlie.

[@patrickalaggio3560]

Totally AWESOME! lol

[@nataliescallions1716]

awsome Charlie! love your music

[@AntonyKein]

Can it get any better than this ??? The answer is simple : NO! A m a z i n g sounds, brilliant compositions-arrangements !!! Inspiration & Bliss !!!

So I just bought an M80 to replace the Baggs Element that came in my J45. After watching this I decided to reinstall the Element in addition to the M80. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@marvinscondo]

Hey , I was thinking about that , too. Does the M80 fit besides the Element System in a J 45 ?

[@user-pz8ju1pj2i]

เสียงสวรรค์เสียงที่ส่งมาจากฟ้า เสียงลองลอยเพลินเพลินมากๆ

[@folkfingerstylefreddy2154]

Best acoustic tones I’ve ever heard!

[@georgeanderson3341]

Is it really acoustic with all those effects?

[@natalieregester374]

I just discovered Charlie but im so catching up

[@anisiosoul2735]

Top Men ❤.

[@DougGarrett]

Wow!

[@urbangirl13]

I love your music, Charlie. Totally enjoyed this video. Your sound, your music is gorgeous. Are you working on a new record?

[@jodyjackson51]

Man Lloyd seems like such a cool guy.

[@JoshwaBurke]

I didn't know you could use a Morgan amp with an acoustic guitar. Sounds great. Wondering if I could achieve a similar sound and would like to know more about the amps

[@JETallacksen]

I'd love to see a diagram or write-up of the signal path on Charlie's multiple boards here.

[@bwall615]

I have LR Baggs in my Martin. Wish I had it in all my Acoustics. Hope I can find something for my Resonator. Charlie is a monster.

[@evanrisna5707]

Wowwww

[@tailtaptailtap]

Yeah, this is where it's at.

[@11calman]

Vince Gill Mentioned your name mate, thats why I'm here, A wise choice

[@hankberumen1399]

Enjoyed this video very much; on a side note, can anyone tell what the small white monitors are?

[@jessearias12]

Why am I just now listening to this? Where the fuck, how I been? This just inspired me to practice more.

[@maryellen5842]

❤️🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼

[@11calman]

Hi There Mr Baggs, New Zealand calling. I have a Martin D35 (1987), could you advice me what pick up would go well in this guitar... happy New Year From NZ,,,,,, Gib

[@newton_rai]

can you please do a rig run down of his pedal board :'(

[@sanchayan1000]

How much will cost to create exactly same padel board ?loving it

[@danielcastllomarfull]

La LR Baggs M1 pasiva suena increíble, de verdad. Compré una y estoy encantado. Y la instalación, teniendo un poco de cuidado, no es complicada. Me decidí por la pasiva porque no quiero tener que estar pendiente de cambiar la batería. Uso mi acústica con un amplificador de eléctrica Fender Frontman 65r sin ningún pedal y en el canal limpio. Por si le sirve de ayuda a alguien.

[@xavierbenedictraquel8202]

LR baggs where can i get the that inside pick up can order?? i really like the sound of it...

[@MrD4rkmetal]

wow nice music with soul and fucking crazy effects control! Im stone and im on a plane right now :D

[@silviojracustico7306]

muito sentimento nesses acordes ...

[@rrahmanlogic]

what the different athem sl with anthem stage pro. pls tell me. thx

[@suzibrownmusic]

I wonder if you can use an AB Y cable and run it through a compact tower PA and not need 2 amps to create the same effect.

[@ahmedragab2563]

Can we just have an album with this sound already, if it's already out someone please help me find it lol

[@icaro738]

what should i buy ? anthem sl or full anthem ?? someone helps me...hard to choose.

[@thaojenson5783]

can i please know all of the effects that you are using? thanking you

[@mattsteinfeld]

Is this the LR Baggs SL Anthem for $299 or $199. It seems there are two different kinds online (one has under saddle, one has microphone). Could someone possibly verify? This one in the video sounds amazing.

[@mwj5368]

What is the white pickup across the sound hole? So this isn't solely a demo of the LR Baggs Anthem? So this is using two systems of pickup? I have to carry my guitar on my back and go around the city on my bicycle as I don't own a car. What kind of amp would be not expensive and light weight to carry? If there is no such thing then I could take the city bus and use my big two wheeled suitcase. Would there be an amp that would sound like what you were using in this video. Thanks also you are phenomenal! You tour all over the country or internationally?

[@rawmark]

I think I'm going to put an Anthem in my Sergio Zepeda acousitc.

[@jodyjackson51]

It looks like both the pickup outputs are drilled through the end pin block and Lloyd added a strap button above them. I’m guessing that he must have added a wood block inside to screw the strap button to. What do you guys think?

[@shubhamkhare7]

Can someone please tell me the name of the song that is played at the very start of the video...

[@MarcoRaaphorst]

The M80 in active mode won't overdrive your pedals because of too hot signal?

[@IsaacHernandez-pp7xc]

what's he using at 532? he calls it a pog or something??

[@alcindomv]

My God what a beautiful sound, can someone tell me what pedal and what effect is playing at 5:30 in the video??!!!!!

[@rawmark]

Just a guess but I believe it may be this one. www.amazon.com/Electro-Harmonix-POG-Polyphonic-Generator/dp/B00112D91S?tag=equipboard-posts-103-20

[@scrrebr]

great video!, hey is there a way to blend the lr baggs anthem with Taylor es2 pickup, I mean having them working as one system, getting an output from one jack....Thanks for the help :)

[@austencampbell146]

I believe you would have to have 2 jacks coming out of your guitar, then run the both into a dual source DI.

[@user-ug4pb6cl9g]

7:33 I want to know the pickup sound, plz

[@brettstakelin]

is there a way to combine the signals of the anthem and M80 into one stereo output jack, rather than have two outputs coming out of the guitar?

[@brianpatrick6102]

I may be wrong here, Im fairly certain... you could wire the mono signals of each pickup to a TRS input jack, then use an insert cable (1/4" TRS stereo jack to dual 1/4" TS mono jacks) then route one of the 1/4" TS jacks to a DI box or amp and the other 1/4" TS jack to an fx pedalboard which goes to its own amp. Or just use a TRS stereo cable to an amp or whatnot, but that source you are plugging into must have its own TRS input jack. Great idea, Im sure it can be done and it would give you alot of cool options.

[@mcmickey3344]

Anyone know what kind of capo he is using?

[@PemKashyealo]

wow 5:15 is awesome..

[@dnnssmyth955]

Queria ganhar um LR BAGGS... 😍😔😭
