On this week’s Academy Of Tone, Thomas and the team are out in the garden at BluGuitar towers to enjoy the weather, have some nice food, relax, jam a bit, and answer all of your questions!
It’s not quite a summer holiday, but as you guys know, Thomas recently moved into his new house, and now the garden is ready for us to make a bit of use for it – and there’s no better place than the garden to get the guitars and the grill out on a summer’s evening. In the Saarland region of Germany, people call barbequing “schwenking”, so be prepared to get a lesson on that, and there’ll be plenty of musical stuff going on as usual.
You’ve probably not seen much of Thomas with an acoustic guitar to date – although fans of his German-language band Dreist will know the “Akustik” video – but on the show he’ll talk about his relationship with the world of acoustic music, the best acoustic guitars he’s played, and the best acoustic players he’s had the privilege of sharing stages and studios with.
Thomas will also talk about the best songs to play on acoustic – whether they were written on and intended to be played on acoustic guitars or not – and he will also have his electric guitars and amps out to demonstrate a few acoustic simulators, as well as how to get the best “acoustic” tones using the AMP1. There are already a few BluGuitar endorsers – like our good friend Ciyo Brown – who regularly use AMP1 with an acoustic guitar, so we’ll show a few clips of them in action as well.
Our colleague Kai is seen with an acoustic guitar in hand on a much more regular basis than Thomas, so he will also talk about his experiences gigging with acoustic guitars, and he’ll show off the rig and pedalboard he uses to get the best acoustic tones live. Acoustic guitars are notoriously hard to get a good sound out of live, so Kai will discuss the pros and cons of piezos and using mics in acoustics at shows, and he’ll give his top tips for succeeding live and ‘unplugged’.
Apart from that, the guys will do a nice live Q&A about anything and everything you guys want to know, so join us in the chat, bring a drink, and we’ll see you there!
