Greetings Steemits.
This is a little Home Baked original Medley, dedicated to a fine Luthier named Gideon Weigert. I'm not sure this blog title is correct, as I'm a bit of a newbie, I've just seen it on other blogs, so please advise me otherwise if I got that wrong.
The Guitar has a chequered and very sad History, but I believe its finally found the love it deserves. It was built by Gideon Weigert and gifted to a mutual friend of ours. It sustained life threatening injuries, but was miraculously saved, and then gifted to me by a very dear friend. I never met Gideon, but he must surely have built this guitar for me. In all my years of playing, which number too many to mention, I have never played a more soulful, resonant perfectly formed guitar. Gideon is a true artist, and if your in the market for a hand made guitar, I couldnt recommend enough that you visit his website and take a look. Even if your not in the market for a guitar, you should still take a look. Gideon makes art out of wood, with the added bonus, that they play beautiful music.
For those that are interested, the body is rosewood with rosewood bindings, ebony fingerboard, I believe a mahogony neck, and either ceder, or spruce top, I’m not sure. And I’m using medium tension ground nylon.
To be fair, I'm not the best ambassador for Gideon, as no doubt this recording will testify. I'm a little rusty, and my recording equipment is a built in mic, fan noise an all, so apologies for that. But I hope u'll enjoy it anyway.
Ode to Gideon, Ode to my sweet little flamenco.
