BARTLETT GUITAR MIC - Classical Guitar Demo

"Instrumental guitar recordings typically seek to display virtuosity and fretboard mastery, but for Ben Abrahamson, those qualities are just the point of departure for his flights through extraordinary labyrinths of imagination. Enjoy the ride!"
​ -Tim Sparks

NEOLITHIC is the latest release from MN acoustic guitarist Ben Abrahamson. Twelve compositions for 8-string, 12-string, and classical guitars conjure the flamenco fireworks of Paco de Lucia alongside more domestic influences like Leo Kottke, Ralph Towner, and even Beck. From the rapid flamenco picking on "Chester's Rumba" to the forlorn banjo on the lone cover song "House Carpenter", NEOLITHIC carves away multiple layers of guitar influences to reveal the common roots underneath.

I'm wondering if you could do a follow up video, where you first use a high quality external mic, then play the same passages with your Bartlett mic. I think that would be helpful, since some may not know how your guitar sounds naturally.

I really like the sound of your guitar with this microphone! Can you tell me exactly where the Bartlett microphone is mounted inside the guitar? I like your playing style! Greetings from Budapest.

Great playing! What guitar are you playing on?

How did you mount the end pin version of the mic? I don't see any sound hole clip.
