A New Practice Regimen (A Season Of Al DiMeola)

[ᛗᛜᛜᚺDᛜᎶ Ꮤᛨᚳᚴ]

I broke out my Nylon string---which had been hibernating for a couple of years---and it had
two broken strings on it. Now I am not going to be able to embarrass myself in my own home
playing Al licks.

That video literally made me hanker for a nylon string! Maybe I will play my Uke tonight ;~)) Get some fresh strings, Al approves!!

It's just an instantly recognizable tone. Easy on the fingers, too.

I've noticed on live footage that Al starts a lot of phrases with a very defined upstroke, and not always on the 1.



Gonna beat that into my brain for a bit today.


Al's been very, very good to me this year.

I love nylon strings! I never get more compliments about my tone than when I play my MultiAC. Everyone loves the sound of it

I think Al used one of these for a while didn’t he?

Sweet! I love how that tone is instantly recognizable to even non-guitar playing folks.

I had an A6 for many years. Godin is a great company with a lot of neat options for
guitars that other brands just don't offer.

I’ve thought about picking up an A6 or the steel string brother of my MultiAC. I love Godin, I’m a big fan of their stuff. Seagull too!

Yeah the MultiAC has “that” tone in spades. I’ve got an MD I play for who always gets excited and makes me play him the Princess Bride song whenever he sees I’ve got it with me

On an Al guitar note a friend of mine had his 59 Les Paul for while. He was selling it for him . I didn’t get to play it though.

 

[Eagle]

AL’s ;

I played the prism but not the 59.
