_ _ [E] _ I'm here with my new Yamaha guitar.
[Em] We're in Berlin somewhere.
So I thought I'd show you [G] guys that I'm a new member of the family.
I'm very honored to be here.
_ This is a beautiful [Gm] new guitar.
I also have the classical gut string slash whatever you guys call it these days. _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ [Gb] It sounds so great live.

[Bb] How are you guys?
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
Alright.
Very versatile guitar.
I'm not [Gm] really known for my acoustic playing, [A] but I do enjoy _ [Bb] recording a lot with [G] acoustics.
I always have it live.
I try to use it for different things, more accompanying vocals.

_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ Now I'm not a techno guy.
Some guys really like to read manuals and all that stuff.
I like user-friendly stuff.
I gotta say this is incredibly user-friendly.
It's beautifully put together, obviously, from an aesthetic point of view.
But also, it stays in tune.
[E] It has a really easy to deal [G] with on the road.
My tech Jim's having a really good [Am] time with it. _
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [G] _
Also, I found that some acoustic guitars always feel really good down [Bm] here in the first position up [Am] to here.
_ [E] But this [Em] guitar feels so good up [E] here.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ It's still the same _ intonation.
You know what I mean?
_ _ That's a sign of a fine, well-crafted instrument.
That's really what [D] we're all looking for, whether [B] you're a professional or whether you just like to sit around by the campfire.
[E] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [Bm] _
[E] See how beautiful that is?
_ Every string sings out.
That's the desired effect.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I want to talk about these right here.
This is a very sophisticated system.
Apparently, now, not being the tech head, and being that I don't really read manuals much,
and probably you don't, unless you're a real freak for that sort of thing,
it looks pretty complicated, and there's a lot you can do.
There's so many options here, which is really what separates it from just your normal,
I don't want to name names because that's not nice to do to other products,
but let's just say, against the competition.
You have the versatility like I've never seen before, and also just the tone.
And not to mention, something that's also forgotten, because a lot of us who play live
use the electrical part of this instrument.
If you just hear it without being plugged in, it's a beautiful sounding.
If [Am] you just put a microphone in front of it in a recording studio, this would be great, and I have done that.
