But i bet there's a whole lot of HIYAW and more that can be coaxed out of the P3000 raon electric in the hands of masters sushi and slim than the Yaron in lesser hands such as mine
question - can hiyaw be heard in pure clean tone?
does "hiyaw" really matters? <<< good thread topic IMO
... this guy knows the science of hiyaw.
harvest? or buy wood..
I have always seen "hiyaw" being dsicussed here in philmusic but I never read or heard it being discussed in guitarworld, guitar player and other magazines alike (or maybe I just missed reading it), can anyone please cite any top guitar player going gaga over hiyaw property of a guitar? Thanks.
HARVEST, as in they find the wood AND/ORthey buy a stash of wood harvested from a certain area at a certain time.
"does hiyaw really matters?" is really the question begged to be answered.
I think its just overtones or double tone... alot of ovetones maybe... kaya no wonder, FM55 almost bought a Goodall acoustic w/c are known for overtones... I personally like it... nakakaWow kasi, it gives a very good 1st impression... but some dont like it, mas type nila fundamental tone... clarity instead of lushness....
Thanks for the compliment but no way I can be mentioned in the same sentence as sushi. The player is always a factor but in order to NOT go in circles and start arguments, we should always think from an "all things being equal" perspective. Seriously, if everyone can afford a Gilyaron, would anyone still prefer to buy the Gilraon?
Yeah, for most Delta blues, especially bottleneck/slide, it's not always a desired quality. The overtones/harmonics can make slide guitar too glassy/piercing/noisy. But for some Piedmont or old-timey fingerpicking, I like it.
is the last part of this clip i made "hiyaw" ?http://soundcloud.com/into-entropy/is-this-hiyaw
based on what alex says...nope..Mojo cant be recorded..nor does vibe..lets just play guitar based from what Art A. told me. gene stashes but doesnt cut the tree(harvest a tree crying timber)..my info could be wrong..
I doubt he harvests... he has to go to South America etc for that.... Most luthiers have their own supplier...
I don't want nuttin' to get in duh way of mah C7b10b13 chord! I agree with the kanyang-kanyang preference. It also boils down to the application as well. Too much of the "hiyaw" factor may not play in favor of or serve a purpose for folks who enjoy density and polyphony in their music. But I am appreciative of that quality in the jazz-rock-blues realm.It's a nifty quality to have. I just feel that it can't be the sole measurement of what would qualify a guitar to be good.
