My Beauregard Guitar Family: Ashes in the Sea

[@dylanfowlie5519]

Your acoustic guitar production has got to be one of the best out there. Compliments every note you play! I would actually pay to watch you give a mixing/mastering lesson!

[@adamlaxmusic]

Dylan Fowlie I agree with this whole heartedly.

[@codking82]

@@adamlaxmusic amen to that

[@PiPiSquared]

Yes

[@JavierRubioCarballo]

Yes please!

[@scottfishkind5335]

This is a magical video. The artistry and exquisite musicality and emotion coupled with a stunning composition on such incredibly beautiful sounding guitars and perfectly recorded is simply stunning!!

[@SeanBoyle]

Those one-handed pinky harmonics... Antoine Dufour you beautiful bastard.

[@gordonfamilyforge134]

Love that small jumbo model, you make them all sound as good as they can, awsome

[@ericballi4701]

All 3 sound great and unique. The spruce top definitely has more pop in the highs. Lots of warmth with the cedars. For this piece, I liked the sound of the 10 yr old OM (cedar) best. Of your older song catalog, this is one of my favorites. Probably in the top 5. Great video!

[@ASPEDBUSDRIVER1]

Is the cedar the one he uses in To Run in a Dream? The harmonics, it just has an airy piano tone. I imagine like a Lowden? And that low C note on the 6th string just buzzes. It just spoils my eardrums. I wonder if thats cedar with rosewood

[@guitarguru186]

2:24 Awwwww yeah, LH strum of a RH harmonic Love this tune, always a pleasure to watch & hear your playing ^_^

[@jenniferreid8515]

I Think I like the sound of the cedar top the best out of the 3 guitars---- Then a gain that 12 fret small body Redwood top, Brazilian rosewood back and sides sounds very full and rich. hard to pick the best sound. hell they all sound amazing!

[@northland..]

the cedar top / Indian rosewood is an amazing guitar as well..

[@rbplaysa99olson]

Very cool video... loved hearing the differences. Antoine is just in his own league. Crazy good...

[@Architect_777]

Those sound like heaven 😇

[@notpopebuthope]

... what a great happening coming through my head-phones ... BIG SALUT !!

[@Cartian]

Love the way those guitars sound! Also, you should consider making a lesson/masterclass on how you produce acoustic fingerstyle music. Hands down would fork over all my money for it, your production is quite literally unrivaled. Please Antoine :(

[@dtdyvr]

i think i prefer.... all of them. all wonderful instruments, all sound amazing in the hands of this master....

[@AdamWoodhams]

Technical thoughts fly out of the window when confronted with such beauty. Thanks Antoine.

[@jenniferreid8515]

THis is cool. You can actually hear the different tonalities between the different guitars.

[@v.h.3027]

Bravo!

[@kristopherburich5357]

Idk why he doesn't have more hype. Loved the guy since he signed like a decade or more ago, so much talent

[@douglasfeliphe2104]

Ashes in the sea brougth me back many memories...

[@mdmorell]

Love the tone of the redwood model especially!

[@davidjohnston2720]

Excellent sounds! Thanks Antoine!

[@llZephyRll]

Your newest redwood top guitar sounds fantastic. I really also loved the sound from the spruce top small jumbo.

[@davidthebiker2955]

This is probably the best video I have ever seen. Those ceder tops just sound so good.

[@danielpadim5914]

This is one of my favorite songs...

[@TerrenceDuggan]

Masterful, inspiring, and very enjoyable as always Antoine, a real treat, haven't heard this one until now, great way to showcase your guitar family too! : )

[@kdavid6197]

beautiful bass & treble

[@N1yaw]

My favourite song of all yours, and my morning alarm since ages. Love both versions a lot

[@MossBravado]

This is the song that really got me into this style of music. Always has been my favorite. The new redwood sounds fantastic man. You can really tell that thing has some incredible dynamic range. Interesting choice with the 12 fret neck to the body, are we thinking about some more classically oriented pieces? I'm super interested to see where this guitar takes you.

[@PharaohciousX]

Creative video demonstrating the difference between all 3 guitars with a flawless performance like usual AD!!!!

[@NedlohZ]

Sounds so good as always, and such a huge sound from that redwood small body Beauregard!

[@lifelongfan07]

I liked elements of them all but I’m still drawn to #3. Papa spruce top. It has the most dynamic sound from top to bottom. The others are stronger in the mid range... I’ve been watching you and covering some of your stuff for a while. You’re one of my hero’s man. Thank you for the inspiration you give me!

[@rngayduk]

That kiddy-one sounds really good! Thanks Antoine!

[@andrew.9529]

Great Sound!

[@felipepeloggia]

Antoine!!! So glad to see you're still producing content! I couldn't sleep and looked up your name on KZbin (I'm a big fan of your work since you released those "old" songs!) Superb talent. Thank you for everything! You're an amazing artist.

[@daviskim7659]

Beautiful song and guitars! Thank you for sharing them with us. Would you ever consider doing a tutorial of Ashes in the Sea? I'd love to learn it.

[@dlswint]

Love the playing, and the bonus mic choice and placement notes are greatness.

[@DNFADV]

That was fantastc. Never seen or heard pull off harmonics like yours . Also hearing how the difference in guitar construction would influence the playing iand the sound

[@latinumbavariae]

The 12-fret sounds great.

[@truongminhtien5629]

Brazillian rosewood ❤

[@VforVallee]

Definitely loving the original Beauregard you’ve had forever. Although Redwood is a great tonewood 💯

[@TheLastWanderingBard]

Oh yes! On your last video I was saying some kind of comparison/analysis video of your various guitars would be great and you actually already did it! WOOO! Thanks Antoine. I don't think I need to say that the playing was obviously brilliant, and you've had the best production/mastering for acoustic guitar for a long time now. As far as the three guitars go, I've always been a cedar fan in general, and Mario's cedars are fantastic and this video hasn't changed my mind on that; I think it's still my favorite overall purely because of that classic warm cedar timbre. That being said, I've always been impressed by the power/pop of the sprucetop since the "Mother" video a few years back (which I think was the grand debut of that guitar if I recall). I actually never knew that it was specifically a Euro Spruce. I've always been a bit critical of Euro Spruce, finding it to be a bit washed out when other luthiers have used it (almost like too much of the sound had been "phased out" in a recording). Luckily, Mario is not just "some other luthier"; he's done a great job with that sprucetop, it is by far the best sounding Euro Spruce I've ever heard. The only question I have left is how do you decide when to use which guitar? Do you just switch freely or do you have specific tunes/styles for each one?

[@pranischal]

Very clean sound. Love your work! :D

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Thanks for uploading - Thumbs up!

[@HyperKonzi]

a masterpiece

[@davihexli9753]

I was eyeballing one of those archtops on their website, really nice guitars. Thanks for sharing. Great song btw.

[@MGPL_]

Good job at maintaining a steady tempo in all versions!

[@BillyStewartGuitar]

They are all great! I do hear a difference in 'Junior' though. Warmer - rich kids and bass without losing the treble. I also like the extended fretboard!

[@northland..]

the 12th fret smaller body sounds so fantastic. wowza.

[@MegaSlowe]

I like the mother guitar the best.

[@skripnigor]

Very interesting! Especially the mic placement.

[@pcar928fan]

My fav is the cedar top guitar, but the newest addition is a close 2nd. I don't know what it is, but I just love cedar in an SJ cut away body

[@TMoody]

Those guitars are more than my car.

[@ted501]

to me~ aged irw om, surpassed brw others...::;;;; first time i've seen you played "these moments"... i was totally knock out ~ !!!

[@JonnyCrash]

Years ago I bought a Larrivee because you had a couple of them at the time. I don't think I can afford a Beauregard.

[@trewq398]

interesting comparison

[@Nikoo033]

These guitars do sound and probably sound great, but no offense I have been on Beauregard website and it really need updating to show case these instruments. Great playing from Antoine!

[@JonnyCrash]

I really hope Scratch is next!

[@raot1188]

Thank you, Antoine, but the best guitar for Ashes was... your old one, which was used in this video: /watch?v=QcanWkRbnwQ. Just like in "Reality", "Toi et Moi", "Mother", "30 minutes"... Sorry, man ) Still listening it time to time since 2009... and still cant get engough ) Thanks a lot for all this beautiful music in my life!

[@kristopherburich5357]

Shot out to his cuz. I'm pretty sure he wrote it for him

[@matthiassiegrist5836]

Wonderful playing! Could you tell us guitar nerds a bit more about the specs of the guitars? I'd be especially interested in the SJ one. What kind of spruce for the top, what scale length and nut width and why you chose so? I'd appreciate it very much, merci beaucoup!

[@ShortP1089]

Hi Antoine! I guess you get that question quite a lot, but i was wondering if those pieces of cloth in your guitars headpiece have a specific purpose. I'm guessing it has something to do with avoiding additive vibrations of some sort. Yet, one of your guitars does not have one on it. Cheers, and keep up your great style of playing and inspiring with music.

[@michaelrasbury]

This sounds great! At the end of the video you say you are using a M/S setup but with BOTH mics set to figure 8. Are you still making an inverted copy of the side mic for a true M/S technique or are you simply hard panning the two figure 8 mics? If the latter is true, I would expect that pair to be at a 45 degree angle to the guitar but in the final screenshot of the mics the center pair clearly look like a 90 degree orientation. Can you clarify? I’m working with a great student guitarist and we are using your video as a model for recording techniques! Thanks!

[@Aetherius88]

Now it's accurate to say - it sounds like 3 guitars instead of only 1, haha.

[@Nosceteipsum166]

Dear lord, you are absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, your flawless technique makes it very hard to cover your pieces lol. But that's fine anyway.

[@tannerbobanner9453]

Antoine Dufour Master Class when? XD

[@fingerstyle9165]

My dream to have one guitar like that :( only one my cheap coast 20 dollars :( it's a price of strings :(

[@SuperRambo111]

Do you still have your stonebridge guitars?:)

[@ted501]

Anyway,, where's blackwood & cedar sj 12 fretter ?? that guitar is really sexy... :::;;;;

[@쀼륭-h5p]

안지환 ㅎㅇ

[@beachgurl454]

Who hit the like button only 2 seconds into the video? :)

[@frysause934]

Shouldn't have even bothered with the "new" guitars. Especially the red one! That one is horrible, sounded off key the whole time, terrible . All of your songs sound better on your original guitar. Will continue to listen to your songs, they are great. But will stop if you continue to use that red guitar. And the other one you used wasn't very good either. Keep playing with the original.

[@MegaSlowe]

Daddy wins.
