A shout out to Herman. RIP.
Solo instrumental acoustic guitar thread (with occasional vocal & duo exceptions)

Yep, Greeks dabble in experimental acoustic guitar, too, not just young Russians. Didn't stop there. She had a single released a few years later by Candyrat titled "Message to Tommy Emmanuel".

Like Casper Esmann, Langendijk is from the Netherlands. But currently resides in Germany. As she says, Valentine's Day is coming up...
The original Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons version is here.
Any late Gen-Y or Gen-Z who thinks they are too young to remember this will quickly change their mind when it reaches the 1:15 minute mark.

He's got far wilder and newer stuff, but the snowy setting seems more applicable to the remainder of this season.

This is great but am wondering if some doctoring went into this video. The audio seems a little too much of the studio, and the retention of finger flexibility at such temps is amazing. Snowy surfaces have a certain way of absorbing sound, which doesn't fit with the track we hear. (That said, I guess a pre chilled guitar could stay in tune okay, so I can't say it's not possibly legit)
Yah, the falling snow has got to be an add-on effect, because it doesn't seem to be accumulating on him or the guitar (apart from the "flakes" that were sprinkled on before the filming). I guess windless periods of active winter storms do happen, but otherwise I can't imagine setting up in the wind chill, to discover belatedly that you really can't operate in it. So it looks like this is well after the actual event, and using the background results as a doctored prop.
While I assume he's got the usual wireless dongle plugged into the jack, the quality of the sound is still dependent on whatever pickup system he has installed inside the guitar, along with how the electronic audio system receiving the transmission modifies it. I have no idea how immune the former is to a surrounding environment. I do have a carbon-fiber travel guitar with junk like that pre-installed in it, but at worst I've only played it in a cold room, not in a sub-freezing outdoors. And my wooden one is purely a cave-people acoustic guitar -- nothing born in the 20th-century added to it. (I.e., no experience with what a cyborg lumber guitar can and can't sound like in _X_ situation.)

А вот русские народные песни в современном исполнении. Этот стиль сейчас у нас довольно таки популярен.

Not sure if there's any notable guitarist who exclusively uses that modal tuning more than Pierre Bensusan does -- especially as early on as he did. By the 1980s, he was roundly mentioned as sticking solely to DADGAD. (I bet there are actually exceptions, though -- there always are.)
Davey Graham introduced other modal tunings, too, like EADEAE -- which is apparently great for Irish tunes (reels, hornpipes, and jigs). The Banks of the Bann ... The Gold Ring
Wow, I came across one source actually claiming that the below is a tribute to Michael Hedges, after he was killed by accident in the late 1990s. Felt I was being naive in that initial inference. (In G minor, according to this tablature.)
Pierre Bensusan: "So Long Michael"

Since there's not distinctly even an acoustic guitar present, this is the ultimate straying from topic. But major detours happen all the time in threads (the only sin is apparently such being prolonged).

Relatively new track by Nick Harper (no prizes for guessing who his father is!).
I saw him live yeeeeears ago in a small club with some solid guitarist friends who said that he was "disappointingly good"... in that it was disappointing how badly they matched up.

English please, stop posting in Russian. Look at the poll, everyone wants you to stop posting in Russian. Are you that dense?
