Lindsay Straw "I'll Be Here in the Morning" & "Last of My Kind | Santa Cruz H13s

"Perfect for aggressive fingerstyle blues and vocal accompaniment, the H13 feels really sweet to hold." - Santa Cruz Guitar Company
We explored the H13 model back in Episode 33 of Presents, but we didn't delve into one major feature of this deep-bodied, 13-fret model - how it excels as an accompaniment guitar for singers! Fingerpicked or strummed, in just about any tonewood combo, the mellow, gutsy voice and easy playability is sure to please singers and songwriters of all stripes.
Songs featured: Townes Van Zandt's "I'll Be Here in the Morning" and Paul Burch's "Last of My Kind"

Yesss!!!❤❤❤ love Lindsay

[@ajlambe1340]

Beautiful!

[@jackaro2]

That was a lovely performance. Love TVZ

[@jwoodman]

Fantastic picking and singing on the Townes song. Hairs on the back of the neck moment.

[@TheNorthAmericanGuitar]

Thank you so much!

[@haroldclark1787]

Lindsay Shaw is a national treasure. Sign her to a multi-year contract at The North American Guitar. She's a brilliant, talented musician, and every note she plays sells guitars. She is a true asset to the organization!

[@scottfishkind5335]

Beautifully done! As a singer-songwriter I appreciate hearing guitars in this context! This should be a standard part of the presentation (or as separately linked videos) for any guitar that could be great accompaniment instruments (which I presume would be most). So glad you did this Lindsay!!

[@ajlambe1340]

I keep going back to this video over and over and at first it was about the guitars, and they are both awesome, but now I’m back to listen to the songs. This is how every guitar should be showcased, not in parts but as a whole living experience with a song, and two lovely voices singing beautiful songs.

[@LindsayStraw]

Thanks so much! I agree...it's nice to hear them in their intended settings!

[@davidmiller2064]

Wow is that pretty! Thanks for the song...

[@kurttrzcinski7579]

Please do this again, and again, and again...

[@beatriced8184]

That was a real treat! Thank you Lindsay!

[@TheNorthAmericanGuitar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DrTramp-uu1hh]

Beautiful. You done Townes proud with "Close Your Eyes" and "Last Of My Kind" was mighty fine too.

[@kevingreene6893]

Lovely treat… the singing, the playing, the song choice and the guitar selection - beautiful as always Lindsey…

[@paulboden7850]

Who knew the lady could sing? Wow! Thien Phan perfectly captured Lindsay's breathtaking talent and the gorgeous H13 Santa Cruz.

[@sbolfing]

She has several awesome albums out!

[@chrissaltmusic]

Fantastic! Great guitars and wonderful playing/singing.

[@racoon96]

I am coming back again and again to this video. Haunting in a very positive way. Thanks for uploading.

[@TheNorthAmericanGuitar]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@keBsIsland]

The guitars sounds incredible and mixing together with the mics were spot on. I believe they were both 13 frets. The singer & guitarist is really good & beautiful. I really enjoyed this and want to hear more.

[@mickryn]

Just came across this by accident. Lindsay Shaw - what a marvellous guitar player and vocalist, really good folk/roots musician. Somebody should record this lady - she's brilliant!

[@toddgolden4578]

These are shockingly beautiful performances. You’ve got me listening to Paul Burch now! I just wish the audio from these things were available on Spotify. I’ve listened to every version of Last of My Kind and this is clearly the best one. And many of these fancy guitar demos are so good they deserve broader availability. My two cents.

[@jackod28]

J'aime beaucoup ce que vous faîtes ..ALL PERFECT ...

[@saintless]

Guitar talk aside, thank you for turning me on to Paul Burch.. grabbed his cd on Ebay and have it on repeat for the last few days. Please do more of these covers, you do them well and you clearly have a lot of great songs in those fingers. Thanks for the guitar samples too!

[@stevep2430]

You have a voice that moves the soul, just wow I am blown away.

[@bilparker6830]

WOW! Lindsay I am blown away. Great voice and as always your playing is phenomenal! Wonderful rendition of Townes song and I really enjoyed ‘Last of my kind’. I look for your songs to listen too as I wind down for the night! Thank you so much!

[@TheNorthAmericanGuitar]

Glad you liked it!!

[@hootguitars]

Great Playing and Singing Lindsay.

[@batman48195]

That was wonderful! I really enjoyed it and the guitars sound beautiful!

[@oricatmos6453]

La pub sur le chiottes en plein milieu ! ohhhhh ça va pas la tête !!!!!!!!

[@kimhalley8950]

Great video session…hope they keep coming. TNAG has such talented people it is nice to see them showcased along with all the great guitars they have to offer.

[@Yrksman]

Great guitars, great performances, great songs! Excellent demonstration of how these guitars actually work with a performer. That relationship is crucial to enjoyment and success.

[@chuck2388]

Bravo, Lindsay, sounds fantastic. Thanks so much

[@hidesertmusic]

Hidden talent! Great voice Lindsey. I could listen to your songs for hours. Oh, the guitars are nice too. The white ebony back and sides are a interesting concept. The tone is bright and goes well with your vocal. Thank you, Lindsey

[@stellingbanjodude]

Great voice and great pickin’

[@sherifsharaf8397]

Very beautifully sang. Indeed the guitars fit your voice. Thank you.

[@petrotmyrcz308]

Ah. Beautiful rendition of my favorite song by Townes. These guitars sound like a million bucks even on my cheap laptop, and Lindsay's playing is terrific. Thanks for the upload.

[@JiriDrkula]

Sweet.

[@chrislombardi8870]

Very nice Lindsay!! Great comparison of 2 special guitars!!

[@andrewbowen6875]

Wow this is so beautiful

[@eddiequinlan3897]

Beautiful guitar picking and playing style, and you're singing is so moving. Could listen over and over. Love it

[@rzh3443]

Lindsay, what a lovely surprise! Who knew? Yes , and both instruments are superb.

[@thomasdowner3505]

Great job … thx for sharing

[@duspar1]

Excellence, Lindsay. Very organic and with great vision. Fantastic idea on the demo, by the way, and great selections for the qualities of each guitar. As I mentioned on an earlier demo, that moon spruce over white ebony is quite an exceptionally done ebony b+s guitar, and it’s been beyond a pleasure to hear you prove your point in spades.

[@gmanluto]

Great playing, great singing, great guitars, great song selection! I'm in!

[@jeffleong5533]

Beautiful

[@oliverwilkins4783]

Hidden talents on display, nice! Nice guitars too.

[@acousticguitarcanada]

Wonderful...

[@hugh1954]

I'm in love!

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Let us not forget Paul Hostetter for whom the guitar was designated H13. RIP Paul.

[@JefLBoyd2312]

Fantastic guitar and performer

[@Whitehawkvisionfilms]

WOW! Your version of The Last of My Kind is both vocally and on guitar my absolute favorite! I wish you would upload this to your Spotify!

[@LindsayStraw]

Thank you so much! I dearly love that song, so when I get around to making another album some day, it'll be at the top of the to-record list!

[@Whitehawkvisionfilms]

@@LindsayStraw You have a BIG voice and most people don't sound good when they try and go BIG and you sound FANTASTIC when you go BIG with your voice... please sing more songs where you can let your voice do its thing!

[@LindsayStraw]

@@Whitehawkvisionfilms You are too kind! I really appreciate you saying that!

[@jez6345789]

Just lovely great guitars great voice nice to here people sing in a guitar demo

[@jamesmckelvey1232]

Okay… this is a direct hit for me!👏👏soft and smooth!

[@bastardsonofretkillr]

That second song is perfect…both guitars one lady…

[@GilmarSouzarj]

good luck and lots of success..

[@MorganMcGinnis]

im 3rd generation Santa Cruz, CA and I LOVE Townes!! I HAD to click this Video with THAT title... haha!!!

[@garychristol6256]

Wow, Love Last of My Kind! Hoping you get it onto an album soon.

[@realgoodmind]

Nice like demos like this the best.

[@korihuston1961]

👏👏👏

[@startreker8591]

The sound of the guitar I prefer(:

[@stellingbanjodude]

Wow

[@TheGrasspond]

There are a lot of good retail guitar store youtube channels. This one is starting to set itself apart.

[@TheNorthAmericanGuitar]

That's a very nice thing to hear, thanks!

[@StevenRosenberg]

Lindsay, your fingerpicking technique is great. I really enjoy these videos (I just discovered this channel a day ago)

[@abulonukulele1736]

Album!!!

[@LindsayStraw]

I have several (if your cup of tea if very traditional British and Irish folk!)

[@monsieurd.]

Just wow ! I wish that streaming would pay more for this one. Edit. Anyone would know what is the singing microphone?

[@TheNorthAmericanGuitar]

Ah, we should add that to the description! That's an Ear Trumpet Edwina mic.

[@BreadLightPray_EWFMgtr]

🔵 super nice ❕🍀 i have a well used 2009 H-13 tobacco burst (similar to your offering) over EIR w/solid headstock 'scgc' pearl script logo - it is hands down right at the top best sounding playing guitar i've had the privilege owning - up there right next to the OOO 12-fret body design from Martin or Collings ❕🐸 🍀

[@TheNorthAmericanGuitar]

Lucky you, bet it's a great one!

[@sbolfing]

I've got several 14 frets and 12 frets - I'm getting GAS over a 13 fret! Now - to decide between one of these and the Happy Traum!

[@davebuchanan5187]

Kim at TNAG helped me order a custom LDBO from Bourgeois. It’s 13 fret with a deep body, aged Adirondack spruce top and EIR back and sides…it’s AWESOME!!!

[@haroldclark1787]

That's Lindsay Straw. Sorry about the faux pas.

[@LindsayStraw]

No worries - very kind of you to think I'm a national treasure!

[@tbeau6663]

💙🧡❤🤍💚💜💛

[@lyndontaylor1380]

Nothing that ain't wonderful here...
