(gentle guitar music)
- Hi, everyone.
This is Loli Molina.
I'm a singer, songwriter and guitar.
I play from Argentina, Buenos Aires.
I currently live in Mexico City.
Here today I will be playing for you
some music on this new Fender Acoustasonic Telecaster model.
I usually play electric Telecasters
and also nylon and steel guitars.
One of the things I'd like to share with you all today
is the way I use and the way I'm inspired
by alternative tunings in the guitar.
One of my biggest inspirations on this subject
is Joni Mitchell.
You already know what she does and how she sounds.
So I'm always trying to look for new ways
of tuning my guitar, because that makes me
look for new positions and new voicings on the fretboard.
And I like to do this by really venturing into the guitar
very playfully and with my intuition.
And that way I find like new sounds, other possibilities,
maybe I'm playing the same stuff everyone's playing,
but tunings give you like this richness and this
somehow complexity and you know,
some kind of fullness in your sound.
So today I'll share with you a song of mine
called, Lo Azul Sobre Mi
which belongs to my newest album,
also called, Lo Azul Sobre Mi and for this song,
I used Drop C,
meaning this is the six string and C.
I'm also using the capo because I like to work with,
you know, with the possibilities that the capo also brings.
So we are running the guitar through an amp,
through my peddles and an amp
and we also have this mic here,
so you'll be listening like two sounds.
This is the electric sound.
(guitar strumming)
And the acoustic sound.
(guitar strumming)
And what you'll here in the song
is these two sounds combined.
So this is Lo Azul Sobre Mi, I hope you enjoy it.
And big hug to everyone out there.
