Audio Clips
Your best listening experience with these clips will be with top quality Headphones or Earbuds. An entertainment system with high end speakers as well, but average generic computer, phone, or tablet speakers, not so much. Recorded acoustic guitar clips rarely do justice in representing the true voice of an instrument when compared to hearing it in person. With that out of the way, below are a few rough cut sound clips of three different Rhemas.
The Wordsong and Rhapsody clips are recorded dry, unrehearsed, with no FX. The Dread-Not has only a minimal bit of reverb and is recorded in layers to capture the versatility of a large body Rhema with drop D tuning. Many (but not all) makers will often ‘up the auntie’ on their sound clips with FX but it is my preference to not do so in most cases. And now on to the clips.
Featuring Patrick Steele of Balla Dear with his Rhema Rhapsody in standard tuning. This one is Claro Walnut & Engelmann Spruce. Recorded on a CAD studio mic and an LR Baggs Tru-Mic system
Here we have another clip of Patrick Steele playing an instrumental of his song Cherry Tree Redge. The guitar is his Rhema Wordsong with Cocobolo Rosewood baack and sides along with an Adirondack Spruce soundboard. Same recording setup as the above recording.
Featuring Josiah Hodge playing a harmonic piece, he composed. This piece is being played in layers using drop D tuning which gives it an awesome baritone affect. The guitar is a Claro Walnut & Sitka Spruce “Dread-Not” with LR Baggs Tru-Mic System
Next up is L E Brown is playing a medley on the same Rhapsody listed up above set up in standard tuning. Clips recorded using an open dynamic mic, unrehearsed.
