Strings of Joy No.2
The Epic Maple Burl Series of Five
Wood Sculpture You Play. Emphasis on WOOD. This No.2 Artistic Study that asks the question , "What happens if you return to Traditional Guitar Forms, even vintage 1918 Martin 1-14 forms, and push the idea that guitars are a forest product clean off the deep end". Guitars, by and large, are made out of wood. I like to image these instruments grew as fruit from an enchanted maple tree. The Epic Maple Burl Series embraces and exaggerates that idea. Over-the-Top Burl rosettes, bridges, heels, tails, sides and zippers. Because I am curious. Because I can and I might learn a new thing. What then is the effect of all this "woodsy" excess and exaggeration on the traditional guitar voice. Emil Ernebro, world class finger-style guitar player answers the question from Gothenburg Park, Sweden. Click youtube link above. Just Wow! One brain science thing I know for fact, if you like what you are looking at, you will like the way it sounds. BETTER. Than if you don't :)
