This is so beautiful. I love Charlie’s voice so much and the instrumental is so full, everything just fits so perfectly.

[@eballard146]

I adore everything about this performance. So intimate and Charlie’s Voice live is just 🤌🏻.
His EP is hands down one of my most listened to this year.
Can’t wait to hear what he makes next.

[@EorlundGreymane]

I’ve probably commented on here already, but, holy fuck! Count the Stairs is fucking brilliant. That kind of writing can’t be learned.

too damn good 😌💓🤝

[@marccolon6297]

are the songs recorded live or pre recorded with video done after? either way great production

[@stevie9127]

Anyone know what kind of guitar Charlie is playing in the beginning?

[@punisher2511]

I think it’s a resonator but I’m not sure.

[@ekg793]

I don't think it's a resonator because there's no metal plate on the body of the guitar. it's some kind of vintage arch top guitar, but I can't read the brand and I'm not savvy enough to recognize it. you can see a snippet of the brand on the neck under his tuner and it says "amico" but that's not the whole word.

[@punisher2511]

@@ekg793 yeah now that I think about it it’s definitely not a resonator. Do you know how he got that muted tone? I can only get that tone with palm muting or a sponge in my guitar strings.

[@stevie9127]

yeah, I knew for sure it wasn't a resonator. I agree with Reid G- definitely a vintage arch top guitar. For the muted tone -At 1:59 you can see he's got a tissue between the strings and the headstock. It also almost looks like a mask shoved between the strings and the body at the tailpiece. Who knows, he might even have some really old flatwounds on it too for that dead/muted tone. I am obsessed with this tone!!
