Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this video is that I used an alternative tuning on the first layer guitar - Godin Multiac Steel SA. I dropped 3rd string to Gb. It was more convenient to play what I was going to play this way.
Another remark is about composition itself. Usually I build an order of layers first that form a basis for later melodic playing. This time the second layer was the melody and only after that I added a couple of pads to make the overall sound fatter. Since the composition was meant to be short (4 minutes) I thought it would be nice to introduce the melody first so that it went through the whole composition. The listener gets familiar with it after it is played 2 or 3 times and doesn’t get tired of it for the composition is short.
This time I used nearly all 30 seconds for the loop that Strymon TimeLine lets you possibly play.
My gear and software:
Godin Multiac Steel SA
Godin Multiac ACS Nylon SA
Fishman Aura Spectrum DI
Roland VG-99
Strymon TimeLine
Strymon BigSky
Lexicon Omega
Sony Vaio
Cubase 5
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful 🤩
Just discovered your music. Wow brother inspiring... I'm a senior gent bought an electric and fender amp and since I know less than than zip about chords I have been able to get some wicked loops just by experimenting with ambient tones playing real slow... puts you in a place just short of heaven. Love your sounds brother.
I think you are one the right way - playing slooooow)))
Beautiful composition, tones and performance
An Imaginal Space thanx) you have a great youtube channel!...
I have a VG-88 and i am a full on Vguitarist,yes they are that good i do not use standard pickups or amps with all their flaws and limitations and i can play anything from classical to death metal... it can cover them all and do them all very very well even in superior way.... and of course other worldy blends and new as yet undiscovered sounds,i can copy any tone or sound i hear. I am surprised in this day and age that traditional amps and guitars even survive and are the norm... more and more should become v guitarists and create new and exciting music with this kind of thing.
William Dechant well ... in my opinion, digital and analog goes well along with each other - there fields where they compete, but still they are different... nothing can give a feel of an good acoustic instrument, but it will never do what digital technologies do... it's like a paper book and an ipad - I like rwading paper books, but often choose more convinient, digital way... I'm absolutely not a fan of any of these sides - analog vs digital - they all good and complement each other
how people could give this thumbs down is beyond me. excellent work!
Exactly the way I musically feel.. I also used to play Godin ACS midi but in a crazed moment sold it.. I wish I had it again. Marvelous sound
Dropping G string a half step is a technique I first encountered at University when studying early Spanish classical guitar music...very nice sound
Truly. Now stop revealing music's secrets!!
Real nice sound there, actually. I"m only slightly disappointed it's not Jeff Wright himself playing! :)
Jeff Wright Thanx, Jeff!
Inspirational, beautiful and gentle guitar playing in your own style. Nice one Mikhail "👍👍👍👏👏😄
Ronnie, thanks a lot!!!
Yes Mikhail! You play a wonderful guitar and you equipment is just a dream. I just bought a Godin Multiac Grand Concert II and now i've the Fishman Aura! I'm enthusiastic for it!!! Keep going!!
+ART Libitum You collect a very good stuff)
Love this serene composition and beautiful playing Mikhail.
Thanks, Nathan!
I really like your style. I use a nylon string with the big sky, it almost seemed to be too many options and I kind of want to step down to the blue sky. But after hearing the Timeline, Im wishing I had started with that. 30 seconds is all the looping I need. Beautiful sound. Thanks for sharing
Thanks! I think you will make a good choice with Timeline)
Bravo and thanks Mikhail, i am waiting another song.
Thanks!
Wonderful tunes!
Fourfingers Thanx!
Great piece Mikhail👏
Jay G Thanx, Jay!

I like that at the end of every session you take your drink :-)
VolcaRock Thanx, Rob... well... your videos always push me thinking of my video improvement... so thanks for that!)
Mikhail Medvedev and I also like your pictures on FB, although the translation from Russian to German is sometimes very strange!
VolcaRock )))... i'm affraid mein Deutsch ist zu schleht)))... so I'll think about English translation, I promise)))
Mikhail Medvedev haha,English is still ok, I remember the kitchen pic a few days ago,
because this looked like pictures I did when have knew lenses:-)
)))))))))))) you got it))))
Нет слов. Миха, это музыка.
Вот он твой путь.
Спасибо, старик!)
you are so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful, a have a good question, you can connect input regular and mídi some time and play the original sound and midi from synthesizer
bravo!
thanks!
I use a Moore aby switch, makes for quick instrument changes without plugging jacks
well, yes.. there is a number of different switches and splitters... but I often use 13-pin jacks alone with 1/4 jacks and that makes the situation a bit more complicated... I know that there are ways to make all things easier ), but prefer to spend money on boxes I need more at the moment... another reason is that I switch my guitars often only when soundscaping... and it means I can do it in a relaxed manner)
I’ll take a cup of guitar
Very nice music, beautifully played. Pardon my ignorance, but are all the layers and loops recorded with the timeline ?
Thanks! Yes, you are right, all the layers were recorded with Strymon Timeline looper that let you recoed smth about 30 seconds -the only challenge for you is to fit in the time limit)
...nice.
Sounds like something off of Diablo.
Вообще кайф! Поэзия!
спасибо, братан!!!)))
Great videos! I am learning so much from you. I have same guitars as you - Godin nylon and steel. What kind of volume pedal do you use? can you recommend one?
Thanks! Personly I use Roland EV-5 - this is not a volume pedal - this is a control pedal switched to VG-99. It's OK if you play with a processor, but you will need a volume pedal in most cases to play ambient with stomp boxes where control pedal cannot be plugged in. I'm not 100% satisfied with EV-5. It is not fluent in the meaning of volume control and sometimes cracles. Maybe it's because it is pretty old) I never used optical pedals like Morley but they are known to be very good... So if the volume pedal is what you are looking and you are not tight in budget - Morley is the answer)
Привет Михаил. Крутейший канал и музыка. Когда я експреминтриую с похожими звуками, моя женя говорит что это за кошка там воет.
Ты использывал Strymon Timeline как looper?
Спасибо! Да, я иногда его использую в режиме лупера. В отличие от остальных луперов он бесшовный, т.е. нет "дырки" в месте склейки петель. Но плата за это максимум пол минуты времени записи.. ну или около того...
I was wondering if you think big sky is the best purchase for a reverb pedal? So many, I seriously cannot make a decision.
+DelScully it's always a matter of taste, you know)... but Strymon are definitely one of the best on the market today... the sound quality of their devices will be more than enough for many many year, so it's a good choice)) #strymon
Mikhail Medvedev
Alright thanks man! If Ben Howard uses it I guess its always good enough haha!
What do you use the Roland VG-99 for? I guess the piezo tone shaping comes from the Fishman Aura...
MyGuitarSchool starting from 1:56 I add bass and harmony layers useing VG-99
Can you help me I have a Gibson Les Paul with a Roland GK3 and a Roland vg 99 I trying to get nice sound on a classical guitar for rhythm and little lead can you help me From Roland vg99 make a video for all of us
Лилька, требует это на рингтон!) где взять?))
гагага)))... ща скину вам)
Все, немедленно пиши альбом и в iTunes. Я куплю.
Всенепременно)
Mikhail Medvedev Это просто. Леха давно Лаватеру в iTunes разместил. У тебя такие отзывы хорошие на youtube. Будут покупать. Ссылку тут размести на альбом в iTunes и все, слава!
"а на следующий день он проснулся знаменитым"...))))) дада
Where was your fluffy cat?
+MrScarysbro she's at friends now, feeling very comfortable... My son turned out to ba allergic on cats + I moved to another city for a year or two and couldn't take her (the Cat) with me. She is OK there. I think even better than with me - they give her more attention and spend more time at home)... SO I feel calm about that...
Thanks for the cat update!
