Doing the rounds on Facebook today, exchanged between some of my guitar buddies is this fantastic video of Daniel Hecht playing a Somogyi guitar with a fascinating customised pedal capo.
This video was recorded back in 1989, long before the likes of Andy McKee and Co were idolised over in bedrooms of young acoustic guitarists around the world. You can hear the tape hiss from the video transfer. Enjoy his fantastic playing!
