Instrumental guitar – video library

Below you’ll find a series of videos of live instrumental guitar performances.

Recorded live at the Lantern (Stoney Lake, ON), the focus here was on high-quality live sound. Video is of basic quality, shot through a stationary iPhone. The sound was pulled directly from the soundboard, and included a mix of a guitar microphone and direct-line from the guitar.

The videos are designed to showcase a true live sound. They also show how you can be highly creative with song selections, while still giving a seamless feel to any event.

At weddings and private events, diversity and creativity in material is an important focus. The demographic of these audiences varies widely. As such, you’ll find an interesting blend of songs. What ties them together are authenticity and craftsmanship in their execution. The acoustic guitar is a versatile instrument, and great music is great music, no matter what era it’s from. Acoustic guitar performances have a unique charm that is open to interpretation. Classic songs have a retro flair, especially when placed next to modern selections. Genres of music can have high contrast, yet a unique continuity, when placed next to competing selections.

On an acoustic guitar, you have the ability to go from the Tragically Hip to Justin Bieber; Frank Sinatra to Ed Sheerhan; the Beatles to Radiohead… and it’s seamless.

When working with clients, my job is to develop a highly-focused soundtrack that makes an event highly personal and memorable.
