Stockholm Paris Milan photos

Traveling traveling traveling…. Stockholm, Paris and now Milan….

Each town has something I can’t forget… Stockholm, so beautiful there, the air is clean even in the heart of the city, took a nice jog and woke myself up! Paris the funniest hotel ever with black light hallways and amazingly non functional design… what a mess, eating breakfast in a blacklight lit bar, basically eating in the dark. Nice way to wake up … little things like the cube shaped soap. The Paris show was at a rock club for 500 people… my favorite gig thus far with fans a foot away from the stage directly in front of me. Wonderful vibes!

Milan, where the first restaurant we went to sat us down and simply began bringing dishes of amazing food! I never even had the chance to order… and then charged us soo little I could not believe it! Have seen clothes of the finest quality in every shop… Fantastic. Now leaving for the show in a little while. Enjoy the photos!

classical duo videos

Last week I performed with David Garrett playing selections from his new LEGACY cd which was just released last week in Germany. The cd features all orchestral arrangements with David as the soloist.

I took these arrangements and wrote arrangements for solo guitar to cover the orchestra parts. It was the first time in quite a while that I got to use my classical skills and I loved it! It was also really fun for me because I got to use my new classical guitar for the first time… And it is a masterpiece! We did many shows last week and some will be airing in Germany at a later date.

I do have two videos that have already been posted on my FaceBook page from fans etc, but I want to have them on this site also! Thanks for listening!

NDR DAS!

The Harald Schmidt Show

The following video should be viewed around 39:20 or a bit earlier if you want to hear David’s interview. Performance is around 40:00.

Moollon pickups

Today I got the urge to install my new Moollon humbucker pickups into my all time favorite Les Paul.

I’ve always been happy with the tone of this instrument… Over the years I’ve made upgrades to the electronics, but never touched the pickups. I had no idea what I was missing. Essentially, the guitar always sounded great when on full volume but no matter what I did I always had a muddled tone when I rolled back the volume, even after upgrading all the control pots and capacitors.

So enter the new pickups and wow… clearer tone all around and super punchy when volume rolled back. The pick ups are not too loud but rather very smooth tones truer to a vintage quality. Really happy with this upgrade!
cheers

German TV shows

Hey folks,

I’m playing a few TV shows this week in Germany with David Garrett in support of his new upcoming classical CD. I’m really looking froward to the shows because we are playing as a classical duo. I transcribed a number of pieces from David’s new LEGACY CD for this week. So instead of David and orchestra it’s David & guitar. Will be fun. I’m not sure of the airing times for these shows…. Tune in if U can!

Cheers,

MW

The Wedge – Trinity Guitars

I picked up my new classical guitar last week from builder Jim Holler of Trinity Guitars.

It might be best classical guitar I’ve ever played. I’m so thankful to Jim Holler who made it happen.  Not only a great builder, the way Jim does business is an example that others can learn from. I could not be more satisfied.

The instrument is only a week old and already is as loud as any mature instrument I’ve played which is uncommon for a spruce top. The trebles and inner voices are equally loud as the bass strings. Playing melodic passages are clear and effortless…

In addition to the tonal quality, the instrument’s ergonomic build that Jim has designed over the years allows the player to have a better posture while playing. From a frontal view the guitar looks very traditional but if you look from a profile view the instrument looks more like a Picasso painting… nothing symmetrical… Enjoy the photos.
