My name is Matteo Cherchi, and my solo act is called 12-Strings of Rhymes. In this channel I'm collecting some of my compositions played on a 12 string acoustic guitar, and sometimes with a looper. They are always half improvised, as I don't like to play always the same thing. I use a pure alternate picking technique I developed on my own. Sorry for the low audio quality of some of the videos, but I hope you will like my music anyway.

Переглядів 664 місяці тому
"Complessità armonica" (Harmonic complexity) is a short piece I've composed a couple of years ago, inspired by some higher harmonics that I inadvertently produced while playing some unusual chord progressions. It is my attempt to mimic J S Bach's harmonic progressions in a modern fashion, all created by pure musical intuition. I've no idea how the chords I'm playing are called, and I'm not inte...

Una trentina di anni fa Fiorenzo Toso ha scritto questa bellissima poesia in ligure intemelio. Quando l'ha postata su Facebook qualche settimana fa non ho potuto resistere e, con il suo permesso, ho provato a metterla in musica, nonostante la difficoltà di pronunciare una lingua che non è la mia. Il post originale di Fiorenzo: Cheli che i parte, forsci i se vira ancù ina vouta dau ziru, prima c...

Brand new song of mine, composed last week in a couple of days. Here a re the lyrics: I've been wandering through the night I feel always astray Spins the wheel of luck and pain I wish I could fly away Picking flowers I don't remember How I ended up to this point Every colour is overwhelming Just a vague memory of joy I can't sleep eyes open wide Till the rise of the day Flows the river of good...

Recently Sergio Altamura has recorded a wonderful of version Lovely Head by Goldfrapp. I have taken many of his ideas in this version of mine, and soon we will perform it live with my Duo. Here just a quick take this morning before going to work.

Mi piace molto!
Grazie!
well done man keep it up
Thank you!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you!
Beautiful! DADGAD tuning makes it sounds magical.
Thank you, indeed it's a magical tuning. Unfortunately this is the only composition I've managed to make in that tuning.
I'm quite attracted to the way you handle that guitar the way you move those fingers is just phenomenal. what else can those fingers do
You name it :)
Gorgeous. Thanks Matteo. The world is better for you having learned & posted this.
Thank you!
Loved it man! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for listening!
Nice version...thank you
Thank you!
Just plain awesomeness. Thanks. It was deciding video for me in topic "do i need 12 strings"
Thanks Andrew! Beware, 12-strings can be addictive! ;)
How do you tune a 12 string to DADGAD
Same as standard tuning: first two strings same octave, the other strings different octaves. In practice, just tune one tone down first, second and sixth string :)
i'm glad you did it. i might come back to see how you're doing now.
Thanks
marvelous! incredibly entertaining.
Thank you!
te pasaste flaco !

Ciao di dove sei insegni?
Ciao, grazie per la domanda. Vivo in Finlandia e suono nel tempo libero. Ho insegnato in passato, ma ora non ho molto tempo.
Great playing! Does the mag mic pickup all the strings evenly? Also do you get feed back when playing live? Thanks!
Hi! Yes all strings are picked up evenly. You can also fine tune the height of all 12 screws if you like, but I didn't need to do that. In live settings I always use a soundhole cover (you can see it also in this video) that I have cut myself to fit the pickup. You should always make sure that the loudspeakers are far away well behind you. I usually don't use the monitor in front of me, but a small amplifier as a monitor behind me.

Grazie!
figa!!! che suono! (anche la manina non è male)
Grazie! Niente male eh? Prova ad ascoltare anche i video della nuova arrivata, la Michelutti. Timbro molto diverso, ma suono altrettanto impressionante ua-cam.com/video/JSVqwIxsWW4/v-deo.html

@@MatteoCherchiAcoustic sarebbe bello poterle sentire dal vivo. Peccato che la compressine del tubo schiacci un po tutto.Belle composizioni davvero.
@@bepivisintainer2975, beh dai la qualità audio sul tubo è già molto meglio che su faccilalibro. Prova ad ascoltare collegato a un hi-fi e a mettere risoluzione massima (alta risoluzione video corrisponde a minor compressione audio)... Per il resto è più un limite dei miei sistemi di registrazione casalinghi. Grazie, mi fa piacere ti sia piaciuta anche la musica :)
Hope you are well Matteo, stay healthy
Hi, I'm doing well, thanks! Stay healthy you too!
Bravo, very good
Thanks! Very old stuff :)
Fantastic
Thank you Ana!

:)
Grande Matteo!
Grazie Marcello!
Woaw.........
Thanks :)
Fantastic
Yes it's really a great instrument!
Brilliant! :)
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Do you like the Mag Mic better than the factory Yamaha ART system?
Hi, I actually use both, I mix the two signals with two cables, and by choosing different mixes of piezo, magnetic and condenser I can achieve very different colours. The condenser microphone is a must if you do percussive playing.
This is straight 🔥🔥🔥 my man
Thank you!, glad you liked it!
More originals please
I'll try! Thanks for your support!
This is good and man can you play. Bravo
Thanks! Glad you liked!
just the mic alone sounds great!
Yes indeed!

Il correlativo oggettivo sulla sei corde😊
Roberto Menabò :)
Interesting result with the change. Appreciate your efforts. If I could request on more change - tune to 432 HZ and record it for comparison?
Thanks. Sure I can try that, but I'm not personally very fond of the 432 Hz, I don't hear any difference with 440 Hz
Matteo - it may be the 12 string hiding the mids and trebles comparing the Hz. Using my classical and acoustic this is where I hear the difference. My friend Anna sings opera and we both sing gypsy and other folk songs using guitars & mandolins. I convinced her to try 432 as she was struggling with the high notes in the aria. Within a couple of minutes her eyes widened and she sang various songs with growing enthusiasm. If I was in another room not knowing it was her singing, I would not have recognized her by voice. It was that different. She could not stop singing even after I left. She also mentioned that opera singers from Europe are performing in 432 and do not like singing over here due to the higher pitch required with 440. Interesting.
Great use of a 12 string. Well performed, and it makes me wonder why I ever traded mine in?
Thanks! Actually it is still a work in progress, now I moved it to drop D... You can listen to it here ua-cam.com/video/xbTFtIHVHhg/v-deo.html
That was Beautiful Matteo
thank you!
Awesome!!! Tabs? Please!!! :-)
Grazie Alex, proverò a fare la tab appena trovo un po' di tempo. Ti faccio sapere
Matteo Cherchi Grazie Matteo!!! Ho appena comprato la mia primissima 12 corde (una Yamaha APX 700 II), praticamente devo reimparare a suonare la chitarra 😁 Che cosa fantastica, non si smette mai di scoprire cose nuove. Stamattina ho appuntamento col liutaio per il setup. Questo tuo pezzo è *bellissimo* 👍
Grande Alex ! Buon divertimento!
delightful vibes and tone to your piece. Well done!
NJ G thank you, glad you liked it. You can download the tab for free if you liked it
Wow! It is hard to believe that all of that music is from one guitar.
Mike Rhymes , yes it's a crazy good instrument... and 12 strings make almost two guitars indeed ;) Thanks for listening!
beautiful chord progression. Thank-you.
Hi, thanks! You can listen the whole piece here, including also the link to a free TAB ua-cam.com/video/MGkTAsW2FSI/v-deo.html
