Larrivee Forum Youtube Channel

[lacewood-P9]

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? 

[Johnny M]

Nice idea 

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 

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

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

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

I tried to use my Queequeg uniquename on youtube but was informed that name wasn't available. (bsur2000 is my email addy.)

[darkbar]

What other wacko would even WANT to use the name "queequeg" ?????   hehehe

Hi Ben,

When you get a chance could you add me to to the playlist.

If you have to pick a specific video you can use this one.

Niiiiice playing ST. (oh, and a reasonably decent looking collection of guitars )

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.

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  

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.

Welcome sir. I love the snappy tone of that guitar. Quite a find.

[L07 Shooting Star]

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

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".

[L07 Shooting Star]

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

Done Kurt, nice tune, and nice picking.

[BenF]

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?

[bluesman67]

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...

Cheers, I hope you don't mind me adding a couple of your vids to the channel.

Not at all Ben, they would be with my Forum I.  I'm looking forward to checking out the channel!

Hi there,
I just recorded my new-to-me OM-03-12. This is my cover of Leo Kottke's Watermelon.

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.
