Special Segment
Upon completion of the guitar there is a special appearance by international performer and recording artist Stanley Yates. Prior to his performance in the studio there is an interview with Mr. Yates in which he assesses the guitar from a players perspective highlighting the different aspects of a concert instrument performers look for. It is real treat as Stanley demonstrates things like response, sustain, separation and harmonics on the guitar built in the video. The next day we were off to a recording session at Echo Mountain Studios where Stanley was recording some music for an online project. We were able to videotape a few pieces from that session. Footage of this recording session which was preformed on the guitar built in this DVD series appears on disc 10.
