LIVE 188 • Iris (Original Fingerstyle, K22ce)

Here’s a take of my song Iris recorded on the K22ce.  Iris has a lot of harmonics, which creates a light, chimey atmosphere.  This guitar provides a different overall effect than the rosewood & spruce guitars I’ve also recorded this song on.  The koa has a crisp feel – bright harmonics but with an overall bloom that’s a bit more controlled.  The bass is present, but understated, resulting in a melody forward sound that complements the song.  Hope you enjoy.

Recorded with a Taylor K22ce (solid koa grand concert with Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze HD Light gauge set) and an Ear Trumpet Labs “Edwina” microphone.  Music by Nick Borho, all rights reserved.  Note: this is my original fingerstyle song titled Iris; no relation to the Goo Goo Dolls song by the same name though that is cool too.  🙂
