As suggested by Strings4Him, I have set up a forum youtube channel.  I am happy to maintain this.  I have subscribed to those who I know (bear in mind I set up my own youtube channel 2 weeks ago, so no offence meant if I have missed you).  I scrolled through the first two pages of the technique and playing board, and added all members who have posted links to videos.

I propose that there are certain boundaries, but that these be vague: -

Any musical style, any genre, but it must be by a forum member, and must be played on a Larrivee, or there must be a Larrivee in the band featured.  I also suggest that all those interested subscribe to the channel, and I will subscribe for the channel back in response, to create a network of larrivee owners and players on youtube.

I have randomly picked a few examples from those who I know post links, I hope they don't mind.  These are added to the favourites list.  If you have a track you would like featured, please post on this thread.  Equally, if I picked one you want removed, let me know by PM.  I will set it up to notify me of responses, and will update the youtube channel promptly.

Here is the link to the channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/larriveeforum/featured - please subscribe and add your own links and others you find to this thread, or PM them to me and I'll add them to the favourites list on youtube.

Great idea Ben. I like it. This could motivate me to post more vids. :guitar

Not my idea, Strings4Him gets all the credit, with some help from ST on the arrangement.  I'm the middleman with some spare time this evening!

You're on there already!!

Here's one that will set the minimum skill level.

Ed

Beat you Ed, you're on there already!

Thank you kindly though

Ben, thanks for taking this on and for including me.  I have added this channel and your own to my subscriptions.  Peace,  Rich LaPierre

OK I'll bite did a couple of gigs with lots of Larrivee's being played,D03R,L01,OM03PA and an LJ05.I'll need to see if there is a way to clean the crowd noise out or if there is something with less crowd noise.Right now my wife is having the video put to disc so I'll keep you all posted.

I don't know if you want to (or are allowed to) include a demo from a Larrivee dealer, but here's a nice demo from Guitars of Pikesville of the new electric Larrivee RS-4.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8_DXkCeIjA

His videos are great, I will add a couple and subscribe. I waited until someone else suggested it, but I see no reason why not. I think that this might prove to be a nice bit of free advertising for Larrivee.

Josh (at Guitars of Pikesville) is my local dealer.  He's a great (uhm, make that GREAT) player, as is evidenced by his youtube vids and he's a heck of a nice guy, too.

Ed

+1 for the great idea.   :thumb

:thumbsup

Hey Ben, great idea ! Kudos for taking the initiative mate. Im also humbled that you'd include me in the mix, very cool.

Id also like to apologize for the fart at the start of one of my clips.  :whistling:

I am but a heathen. I am not worthy.... :beer

Cheers, Scott.

Cheers Ben!  Thanks for taking the time to put it together and for putting me up there!! 

i would like to apologize in advance for any of my videos. It's not the greatest guitar playing,

I believe it to be up to date again now.  Apologies for me being 6 hours ahead of most of you, therefore sleeping when you are all online. 

I have subscribed to everyone who has subscribed or contacted me.  I have added Larrivee related videos for each member.  I stuck to 2 from each, picked primarily at random (unless I already had favourites, ha ha), except for Denis and Will, who have 4 each because they are awesome, and GA-ME because I love his 3 videos and couldn't pick, and I believe George has 3 too, again due to overall awesomeness.

If anyone thinks I have the wrong videos up for them, let me know and I can add more, or swap them around.

Thanks to everyone for supporting this idea, maybe Zach will add a link on the forum homepage if it proves to be successful?

Can I also note again that this wasn't my idea, so stop thanking me, thank Strings4Him instead.

Maybe John Larrivee can do a short video of the Forum IV guitars being built for uTube? we can ask.

My thanks to HIM, Strings4HIM, Ben and anyone else involved in setting this up - nice idea.

I no longer own a Larrivee but I subscribed, if that's ok.

When I clicked on my name  LW216316 in the subscriber list-
it brought up a clip of me playing my nylon string guitar.

Is there a way to change it to bring up a clip of me playing the Larrivee SD-50 I used to have -
here is the link to it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gXBfOxyMRU

- Larry

Larry,above your channel homepage are 4 buttons, the last of which says videos and playlists.  Click it, and then change 'featured video' at the bottom right corner from 'most recent upload' to one of your choice, and it will become the first video played on your page.

I added a couple of your videos to the Larrivee channel.

Thanks Ben  :thumb
...that worked...now it uses the SD-50 clip of 'Tears in Heaven'

fond memories of the SD-50 ,
and also of listening to Guitars of Pikesville when I was shopping - he had a clip / demo of an SD-50
and as I recall that was an influence in my deciding to buy an SD-50.
If I were to get another SD now...it would be the SD-60 rosewood model.

- hope all is well with you and family  :bgrin:
- Larry

Thanks Ben!!

This is a great idea!!

Hi Ben,

This is great!  Thanks for taking the idea and bringing it to life.  I hope it becomes a way for forum members to get to know each other and encourage one another!

:thumbsup

I just visited the Larrivee Forum YouTube channel.  It is great!  It's as if the Larrivee Forum has sprung to life in vivid color!

Here is the link again for page 2 of this thread.

http://www.youtube.com/user/larriveeforum

Wow...  after a little time spent on youtube...  what an array of talent.  What a great bunch of people to be able to (cyber)brush up against.

Ed

Ben,

What a joy! It's great to hear everyone play and to see all of these beautiful guitars.

When you get the chance, could you swap out my two vids for the following two?

"Colorado Girl" by Townes Van Zandt
This is a decent recording of my finger-picked D-60 SBT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7Vq_pngnpM

"Coalminers" Traditional
This is my D-05 in a live situation with my former band.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMuiDp2ICsw

Thank again for keeping this all up tp date!

Rob

Done Rob, I wasn't previously aware of your videos, so just picked two at random.  Appreciate the guidance on your preference.

I hope that the point is that a couple of tracks from each artist will lead viewers to click on the channel of their favourites and listen to more.  I would add them all, but the likes of Denis, George, Will Fly (and me I guess) have many videos featuring Larrivees, and it would make it somewhat unfair for others.

I am going to remove a few more videos so that there are only 2 from each artist.  The list is getting a little long now, and it seems fair.

Please let me know if you don't agree with this approach.

Ben

What a great idea! Thanks Strings4Him and all you others for making this happen.And especially Ben :thumb

It is  great fun to see all you Forum-ites perform.

I have one suggestion (if it isn't too late) Can the titles include the Larrivee model name?

Good suggestion cke, but as it is effectively a playlist, everyone would have to amend their own videos. Many people already do so.

Thanks for taking a look.

I appreciate it Ben! Two vids from each artist sounds fair to me. That should be a good enough indication of what each of our styles are.

Back to watching more videos!

p.s. You guys rock...I've got a lot of practicing to do!

:nice guitar: and nice playing too.  Thanks for the support.  I see we are the 67th most subscrived to channel in Canada, the 5th most subscribed to music channel in Canada, and the 107th most subscribed music channel globally this week!  Thanks for getting involved everyone, and those who haven't please subscribe.

Now that this has been set up, I have changed the settings to show the most recently added video to be the featured one when you go to the home page.  No offence meant to Denis for taking Samuel off that position. 

It seemed logical to put it there whilst the playlist was changing every 5 minutes, since it is an established forum favourite. (and we can all rest easy watching it and seeing that even Denis plays bum notes sometimes :humour:)

Apologies for not keeping this up to date in the last few weeks.  Things have been pretty hectic.

I have added a few new videos, and updated the subscriptions etc.

Please pop along and have another look.

Some new updates have been included.  A few new subscriptions too - the channel is proving quite popular.

Weeks featured video from Blue in VT, because it shows off the OM-05MT tones superbly.  Great picking blue!

Cheers

Some videos featuring the forum IVs would be a nice addition for next week.

Ben

Great idea Strings4Him and great implementation of the idea Ben  :bowdown:

Inspired me to make one today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9xIaZGlda8&feature=player_embedded

Thanks guys, all up to date again I believe.

Nice tune Daniel, is that an L-05??

Thanks Ben, it is actually an L04R (L03R with gloss from the factory, smaller run I think, haven't seen many around).

Thanks! I like it -- like the guitar, the playing, the singing, the song, and the animation in your playing and singing. Is the audio coming from the VadoHD, or something else? I have the non-HD Vado and the sound and video are nowhere near that quality.

BTW -- I like The Creek a lot. Great song!

Hi WileE, yep just the sound from my Vado.  Thanks for the nod about the Creek song, that is an old one of mine, but always a favorite.  I really need to record these songs one day.

Wow some nice playing on there! Watch lots, amazing stuff  :thumb

Hey folks, I'm a new member (proud to be btw) and thought I would start out by posting a video I made with my ol' LV-09. I bought it third hand from a guy who bought it from a guy who used it for performing.....and it shows a bit of abuse. But it plays beautifully, and I'm now a HUGE Larry fan. It is now my "go-to" guitar and I use it for open mikes and such. I rip out the electronics cos they rattled and pissed me off. I'm thinking of installing a mini-flex mic system in it. Anyway, here it is....

Normally I wouldn't post a video as my very first post to a forum, but I couldn't spot a "welcome" section. I'm sure it's in plain sight but I just missed it. I also think this is not the right thread to post this video. Anyway, I'll start to nose around the forum and get my bearings, and I hope to become an active member. Love this guitar!

Wow, you can play and sing!!  Consider your medly as the featured video on the youtube page!

Since you're a Taylor fan, I wonder if you've seen this clip from Taylor that I put up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2m7YicOjy0

It's an instrumental intro that Taylor never used for the song "Enough to be on your way" If you ever figure it out, I'd love to see it. . .

Nice, but  :gotdonuts: oh and  :welcome:

Hi all,
I just subscribed to the Utube channel though I don't have a video to submit yet.  Still working on figuring out the technology.  I viewed every single submission in there tonite.   Is it ever great to see some of you perform up close and personal.  What a lot of talent there is in here!  It's very inspirational to me.

But here's the thing.  This may be a real dumb question, but how do I relate the person in the Utube video channel to the person in this here forum?  Nobody in the Utube space has the same username or any clue as to who they are in this forum.  Is there something obvious I'm missing?  I figured a couple out but how is one supposed to know who is who?

Kurt   

Sorry Kurt, you can't. There are a few that Have the same or similar name (myself included) and others who regulars here will recognise from sharing videos on here before (like Queequeg - bsur2000, Denis -dturbide)

The YouTube page is also subscribed to by people who aren't members here, as many have just found it through youtube.

When we get a new subscriber, I return the subscription and check that persons uploads for larrivee related videos. If someone wants a video included, they put it on here or PM me and I include it.

Hope this helps

Ben

To make matters even worse, I for example have 3 different youtube channels with completely different names.....that's a little hard to track, huh?

Great work, everyone whose videos are featured on this page that was not Ben's idea!  What could be better than a whole channel full of Larrivees? 

Nice idea  :winkin:

I've kinda peaked in this thread near the beginning, but had nothing on youtube so didn't pay much attention.  A week or so ago my 7 year old son played an open mic with my A-33 Larrivee mandolin.  Fortunately, our friends were here from the states and had a video camera and caught most of it.  I just created a youtube account today and posted the video, so I put the link here ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUaHgnqFjn4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUaHgnqFjn4) 

I don't know how to link it to the Larrivee channel, but if someone could tell me or do it for me, I'd be grateful.  He might be the youngest Larrivee player on the channel  :nana_guitar

Thanks for the explanation, BenF and Darkbar.  Would be nice to be able to better relate the videos to the personalities in the forum, but it is what it is.  I'm a Utube virgin, you might say, but I'll figure it all out.

Regards, Kurt

I had the same issue.  I wanted to use "Shooting Star", but it was already taken I guess.  So I made it "Old Shooting Star" instead.

"The Shooting Stars" was the name of my very first band consisting of me, my younger brother, and 2 friends.  I was 12 at the time.  I was the "keyboard" player.  I had one of those Orcana chord organs with 15 keys and 6 chord buttons.

Kurt

Nice picking ST, and apologies for not picking up on the video before and adding it.  You are this weeks featured vid by way of an apology.

Hope I am up to speed with this now.  I have been really busy and low on motivation lately, and today have been low on technology after pouring coffee all over my work laptop  :crying: :crying: :crying:

Back up to speed now though, I'm glad people are enjoying the channel.

Hi Ben,

No need to apologize.  As I understand it - the Larrivee Youtube Channel is there for all of us and if someone wants in - s/he posts here and asks.  I don't think there is an expectation that you will scour the forum picking up references to youtube.

Thanks for the compliment though, and thanks too for the feature.

Rich, I gotta say.  There is a lot of great talent displayed on the Larrivee Utube channel, but I just enjoy your two submissions so much.  There is just something about your playing and singing in your basement and how it all comes together that just brings tears to my eyes.  O holy night just blows me away.  It is very inspiring to me.  I think "here is a guy that just takes a song, plays and sings it like it feels right to him, and does it".

Kurt

Well, here it is, my first video.  Made it with my new Zoom 3Q.  I'm pretty impressed with the sound of my guitar.  I have to learn some of the nuances to get the best out of the recorder, but this isn't too bad for a first attempt.  I just basically set it up in front of my chair on my camera tripod and sat down and played into it.

I wrote the song in about 1972.

I'm not much a fingerpicker, but I've played this one so many times I do OK with it.  I think I'll show off my recently aquired 12-string in my next video.

So Benf, if you would be so kind as to put it on the Larrivee forum channel, here's the link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2_hG_wEf4c

Done Kurt, nice tune, and nice picking.

Folks, I am sorry I haven't been around much.  The YouTube page is now up to date, but hasn't had many new videos of late.  Has anyone got any new videos they would like featured?

This is a cool idea, I can't believe it's been around a year and I'm just hearing about it now!  I will look forward to checking it out...

Hi there,
I just recorded my new-to-me OM-03-12. This is my cover of Leo Kottke's Watermelon.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Webdj5huw2U
Would you please add this to the Larrivee channel. I appreciate it.
As far as the OM-03-12 is concert, so far I really like it. A lot less jangle than the Taylor 355 anf 555 and the size is perfect for the couch.

I'll add it shortly. Battling blizzards to get to work again. Global warming is great, eh?

Cheers for the video. The more the better.

Thanks, Ben. I appreciate your fast reply.

I know this is stickied, but can i sneakily bump it up to the top of the homepage.  I haven't been around too much, but I have added a couple of new videos from member tulk1.  Please let me know here or in a PM if you want any other videos added.

And if anyone manages to catch Denis' commercial on tape, please stick it on youtube so we can feature it!

hello all, i just set up a youtube channel and would love for people to check it out/be added to the larrivee channel. As of right now there is only 1 video uploaded on mine and it is played on a breedlove but I promise about 90% of the videos I upload will be played on Larrivees  :thumbsup

Nice playing sir. I've subscribed, but only add videos featuring larrivees, so I'll add a couple once you post them. I'll get subscription updates, and will keep checking, but feel free to pop me a PM if you want one featured.

edit - i found 10 minutes.  I hope you realise that is gave up breakfast for this,  :nana_guitar.  Nice playing.  I will try to have a look through the technique and playing board over the weekend and add a few more videos that were postedx while I was away from the forum for a bit.

Thank you very much!!!! For your time, compliment, and lack of nurishment haha  :nana_guitar

My Larrivee friends..

I haven't been around too much lately, life has been tough to me, but I'm still here.  I haven't had a chance to really look at the youtube page either, so apologies for that.  I have added videos that people have asked me to add, but i haven't been able to search for new ones on the technique and playing board.

I have also updated the page to the new youtube layout, because the featured tab lends itself to a single playlist like this.  However, to avoid arriving at a confusing timeline tab, please use the direct link of http://www.youtube.com/user/larriveeforum/featured to look it up or pass onto others.

Please, if anyone has any larrivee videos that they want to have on the site, or know of any others that they think would fit, please PM me or post it on this thread, and I'll include them ASAP.  I am hopeful that life is taking a turn in the right direction for me, and I may have more time and energy to join in the fun a bit more.

Have a  :donut on me.

Peace

Ben

Thanks for the update!!! Also, I really hope everything is ok!  :beer

Aye, cheers, I'm fine. Didn't mean to sound all morbid!! Hopefully have more time to keep on top of the channel from now on.  2012 is gonna be a whole lot better than 2011, starting with new strings this evening!!

OK, joined.......now what?

Well, I subscribed back.  Were you expecting something more exciting to happen? :winkin:

I can only feature videos done on a Larrivee.

Thanks Ben.

Here's a Celtic L-09........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gkHdVJsoSA&feature=plcp&context=C4c21ac1VDvjVQa1PpcFNQUWj5Ly_nRi5369W9YPZx-6GS7sRUomY%3D

Will this do?

Very nice Peter.

Yup. Very nice indeed. Your artwork is also spectacular.

I've been through some of the videos featured on this board, and picked up one or two others sent to me, and added them to the featured list on the youtube channel.  Enjoy.

Really glad I came across this.  Thanks.

Wow, I forgot about this thread. I don't know if I ever posted this.
This was recorded with my Tascam recorder, using a keyboard for bass and drums, and my Larry LV-09ce
Very fun.

Hi, I just stumbled across this thread, nice thing to do.

Here's my little contribution. Hope it fills the criteria.
The guitar is JCL's original OM-60 Prototype for a NAMM show many years ago. Slot head, pyramid bridge, enlarged abalone sound hole.

I apologize for the sound, I believe it was taken just with the mic in the video camera.

My wife uploaded a few videos to my youtube channel from a concert I did at the local Phoenix Science Fiction convention.
I was asked to do a set of "new" space(i.e. private spaceflight) themed songs.

Most of the songs were performed using my trusty 1998 Larrivee OM-03RE, a few were done with my Taylor GA3-12 since my Larrivee 12 does not have a pickup in it.

Sound quality isn't too bad, though there is a bit of audience noise.  Since my wife also plays guitar she does know the 1 cardinal rule, always make certain the guitarist's chording hand is in the frame.   :beer

Let's see if this works:

This is a wonderful idea. I will try to post something soon. Hopefully it will suck just not-badly enough to make the cut.

Hi I get a message saying the channel does not exist. Am I doing something wrong? :(
thanks!

It appears the channel no longer exists. Here's mine that I posted in my garage sale OM-03 thread.

"Election Night" by Chuck Cheesman on Larrivee OM-03 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ac866j5HI3M)

I've posted these before, but what the heck...

All done with less than spectacular cameras (and more importantly poor onboard mics).

BenF launched it initially, and it was BenF who subsequently took it down sometime on-or-about March 27, 2013

Hi Chuck,

Really enjoyed this. Thanks for posting.

Sorry, yes I did take it down during an unfortunate brain falling over episode where I removed most of my online existence.  Apologies to anyone who has missed it.  I will try to find some time to set it up again in due course.  I believe that my brain is sufficiently shored up with gaffa tape and crazy glue to stay upright for a bit anyway ;)

Thank you!

BenF,

I would be happy to host a playlist on behalf of the forum members if you'd like. Seems fairly easy to do. I'm assuming it's just a matter of checking the thread and adding the links?

Awesome tune. I enjoyed it...

Hey All: Newbie here. My first post. I hope you don't mind if but my head right in with me and my new Larrivee OM-03 jamming on an old Grateful Dead song. That's what came out!

https://youtu.be/3ajtaINYX7I

Thanks for having me. I hope you enjoy!

Great effort, Jonathan (Peanut Butter)...  nice looking/sounding guitar, too

It's hard to sing, play guitar and read your music but AAA+++ for you...  practice makes perfect....   :thumbsup

BobW...  :guitar

Thanks Bob. I appreciate your comments. Also, I should have mentioned that the guitar is a OM-03 2015

A few glitches here and there, but what the heck.  I enjoyed watching it.  Keep them coming.

Hey Ben is the channel still operating? I clicked the link on the first post and it said the channel doesn't exist.

Cheers, Scott.

Oh goody peanut butter!  A strummer like me.  keep on strumming, practicing and loving it...

Thanks for the comments, all. I'll be making another one (Hopefully with some improvement!), one of these days.

Most of my stuff on Youtube is with my Rainsong. Say what you want about carbon fiber instruments, but they travel so well. 

I did find a few more with my trusty 1998 Larrivee OM-03R though:

Just noticed this thread for the first time. Since the channel doesn't exist any longer, maybe this shouldn't be a sticky thread?
