Guitare Sèche Le Mag numéro 56

Along with the concerts, it is perhaps the travel that has been missed the most during this period of pandemic, due to the restrictions of travel and the various border closures of the last two years.
Yet, what could be more nomadic than the guitar, the instrument of the globetrotters, the poor and the wanderers.
The acoustic guitar is that landmark to which one returns again and again. This is what Eric Clapton has done throughout his career, always with great success. Julien Bitoun retraces in a few pages the acoustic adventure of Slowhand, from his supergroups of the 60s and 70s to his latest opus, via the worldwide success of Unplugged.
A great traveler, that's also what Thibault Cauvin is, who welcomed us in his Parisian den to evoke a whole life devoted to the classical guitar, often playing with codes and rules, whether in his native Bordeaux or on the other side of the world.
The journey is also the inner journey, the introspection, which Cyrielle Formaz of Meimuna or Anaïs Mitchell, the new queen of Broadway, have indulged in with talent. She gave us the pleasure of granting us this exceptional interview about her new opus, written during the first confinement.
From travel to adventure, there is only one step and some of our best luthiers leave their comfort zone like Richard Baudry and Gérard Chatelier, each with a new guitar shape that we have tested for you. Gibson also tries the adventure of the offset rosette on the Generation range, which we detail in the test section. We also chose a small electro-acoustic nylon string guitar from Yamaha, because from Clapton to Cauvin, this guitar will allow you to play all repertoires with a solid instrument ready to go on the road. Finally, if you feel like it, get away from it all with the songs described by our team of teachers: Ireland, United States, South America, France, take your pick! We look forward to seeing you on our social networks, whether on Youtube for the educational videos, or on Facebook and Instagram to comment on this issue. For the old-fashioned ones, a little letter or an email will always make us happy. Tell us about your favorite guitar, send us pictures, play the scores and film yourself, it will only strengthen the great community of our readers.
