Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head (Fingerstyle)

[@brianthompson2089]

The low end equalization makes it sound like a bass player is with you.

[@dcj991]

Seriously though. Haven't heard a guitar sound this rich in the low end. It's usually kinda airy

[@banjokastooie]

Sounds more like an octaver is being used here. Probably limited only to E and A string.

[@lulube11e111]

@@banjokastooie highly doubt that. I think he playing in drop d. Nylon guitars have warm sound. This one is recorded with piezo pick-up and probably using EQ in preamp

[@banjokastooie]

@@lulube11e111 Listen again. There are two clear notes going on for each bass note. Piezo pickup signals can be split by the string if desired.

[@walterfingerstyle]

Thank you all for checking it out! The low end on strings E and A are generated by a special circuit board installed on my Godin, which adds an extra layer on top of the original sound but an octave lower.

This song reminds me of watching Spiderman 2 as a kid. Feeling so nostalgic. 🙂

[@Audeladesapparences]

Bonjour de France ! Merci pour cette belle interprétation et pour ce nouveau partage très plaisant. C'est toujours un grand plaisir de vous voir jouer. Bonne journée à vous et à votre famille. Jean-Jacques. Note. "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" is a song written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The song has been covered very numerous times. In 1970 it was covered in French by French singer Sacha Distel, whose version ”Toute La Pluie Tombe Sur Moi”.

For a while now I've spent most of my time listening to and watching Gypsy jazz players doing some unworldly things on guitar. It's phenomenal. Their speed and accuracy is incredible. However, I'll take the beautiful guitar playing of Walter Rodrigues Jr over them because of the love and beauty he puts into his playing. Walter's playing is special and spiritual indeed.
