Thanks for sharing your wonderful gift. I just bought an Alvarez Laureate lf70. Ridiculous quality for $1400.

[@cody3134]

Soulful

[@John-wr6yo]

This an exelent,creative rendering of this old traditional tune. That paticular 12 frett guitar sounds wonderful. Very nice.

[@davidappleby7214]

Super sweet arrangement and playing, Stuart! Really, really nice. I was shopping and looking at this guitar as a possible choice going back to a dreadnaught, and saw your video for the first time. Thanks for playing and sharing your talent, brother!

[@dalroth10]

A gorgeous arrangement, played superbly on an exquisite instrument 👏👏👏👏👏

[@StuartRyanMusic]

I bought this guitar after listening to your amazing video! Thanks

[@airbreath9891]

do you like your new guitar?

[@edshirley7037]

Yes I love it! Sounds great, well balanced great sound!

[@StuartRyanMusic]

@@edshirley7037 Great to hear you are enjoying the guitar, Alvarez make great instruments! Thanks for watching and for the kind words

[@travismorgan2622]

I got to pick from a few and I picked a gem! It’s so powerful with amazing note separation. It has a very piano-like bass. Overall I can’t believe I got this guitar for such a bargain!

[@williamrome2257]

Awesome !

[@toomuchtime5505]

Have the Alvarez folks seen this? This is the best sounding guitar/video demo I’ve seen! Beautiful playing yes, but that guitar sounds incredible!

[@StuartRyanMusic]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words! Alvarez commission these videos so they see them before they hit KZbin. All the best, Stuart

Very nice man.

สุดยอดมากครับผม

[@moonshot1999]

Amazing as always Ryan❤What's the neck profile (front to back) like on this Alvarez? Fat, thin or somewhere in the middle? C, D or some version of V carve?

[@toddcagle4245]

How is the guitar? It’s been a year since this post and I am looking at one of these guitars now

[@WillBill2857]

Lovely, a slightly different version to the tab in your "Heritage" book and the fingerings here are a tad easier to play in this version, plus it sounds just as good 👍

[@StuartRyanMusic]

Thank you! Yes, they change every time depending on how much of the original I can remember!

[@thomasknapp7236]

Wow. Man that was absolutely killer! Good advocate for how well these Alvarez guitars sound. I'm a very straight guy, but I did get a slight chub at 2:38.

[@billiaertherve]

Are you unplugged ?

[@thesmellycatjazz]

I had to double check the title because I thought this was Summertime

[@jakeandlori23]

Are they made in the USA or another country? Thanks

[@JoMaMaz]

Designed in St. Louis, Crafted in China.

[@barrios4458]

Many say dreadnought guitars arn't the best suited for fingerpicking.This was great now I'm confused,

[@6stringlounge813]

Hello today I received my third Alverez. I’m tired of going to your videos and posting this comment. I ordered these guitars from American music supply. The one I received today had electronics that had come unglued and when I went to look to see I f I could re-glue them, I saw that one of the braces was just dangling. The action was also an inch and a half measured from the top of the fret to the bottom of the string at the 12th fret. I don’t know who’s responsible for this extremely grotesque lack of quality control, but I won’t be buying another Alverez. People usually only take the time to write about things They’re excited and happy about, so Buyer beware. I’m sure all of you below have wonderful instruments. But I’ve given this company three chances.

[@StuartRyanMusic]

Sorry you've had this experience...but I don't actually work for Alvarez so I'd suggest getting in touch with them instead.

DadGad Tuning?

[@robdonell9915]

Yep 👍🏻

[@tumalo710]

@@robdonell9915 Thanks, very well done BTW.

[@StuartRyanMusic]

Hi guys, I'm using open D minor for this one, DADFAD. All the best, Stuart

[@tumalo710]

@@StuartRyanMusic thanks for the update. I got a response that it was DadGad. Didn’t think so. Going to try this one thanks.
