So a friend and I are thinking of doing an acoustic duo. He has a very flashy Maton dread, a great pedal and a great voice. And very experienced at 1 man band stuff with iPad tricks etc.
I on the other hand have convinced him to lay aside the backing tracks for a few shows and let me help him make it more "real" - I have never done this! What on earth was I thinking? 🙈🤣
Anyway, I am thinking of getting an all hog dread to do this with. The reason for me is that they cover a lot of ground. To me they sound quite bright and clear when strummed, not at all grainy or harsh, and they also have that growl I really enjoy.
He plays fairly straight up cowboy chords and he usually uses a capo. So I'm going to be playing a combo of bar chords, appregios, triads, some little leads etc, and then big open chord strumming for emphasis on chorus. Also some palm muting bluesy stuff if the song suits.
This is all I my head of course! I realise the difficulty of this to get a good sound, but you have to start somewhere.
So, do you think the D15M will work? Any ideas welcome.
