This was literally the first time shooting with a DSLR. Very liberating!

Love the shots...but, please have him stick to building guitars & let the players play. The guitar playing was making me crazy and didn't do anything to show the guitar off.... it was just... distracting.

LOL! Fair enough. He is a pretty accomplished player though, and has a BFA in music from Cornish College -- but he seems to play mostly Flamenco, or Classical these days. Before we shot that scene, he was warming up with some Zepplin, but we couldn't use that for the piece.

This was a side project to a longer documentary I am working on that will showcase several guitars being built. I appreciate your comments, and I will definitely make sure the electric guitars get played properly.

That is one gorgeous guitar! 'Well done' on the shoot as well!
