Lindsay Straw "I'll Be Here in the Morning" & "Last of My Kind | Santa Cruz H13s

Published 2021-11-11
"Perfect for aggressive fingerstyle blues and vocal accompaniment, the H13 feels really sweet to hold." - Santa Cruz Guitar Company

We explored the H13 model back in Episode 33 of Presents, but we didn't delve into one major feature of this deep-bodied, 13-fret model - how it excels as an accompaniment guitar for singers! Fingerpicked or strummed, in just about any tonewood combo, the mellow, gutsy voice and easy playability is sure to please singers and songwriters of all stripes.

Songs featured: Townes Van Zandt's "I'll Be Here in the Morning" and Paul Burch's "Last of My Kind"

    Lindsay Shaw is a national treasure. Sign her to a multi-year contract at The North American Guitar. She's a brilliant, talented musician, and every note she plays sells guitars. She is a true asset to the organization!

    That was a lovely performance. Love TVZ
  • @jwoodman
    Fantastic picking and singing on the Townes song. Hairs on the back of the neck moment.
  • Beautifully done! As a singer-songwriter I appreciate hearing guitars in this context! This should be a standard part of the presentation (or as separately linked videos) for any guitar that could be great accompaniment instruments (which I presume would be most). So glad you did this Lindsay!!

    I keep going back to this video over and over and at first it was about the guitars, and they are both awesome, but now I’m back to listen to the songs. This is how every guitar should be showcased, not in parts but as a whole living experience with a song, and two lovely voices singing beautiful songs.

    Who knew the lady could sing? Wow! Thien Phan perfectly captured Lindsay's breathtaking talent and the gorgeous H13 Santa Cruz.

    Just came across this by accident. Lindsay Shaw - what a marvellous guitar player and vocalist, really good folk/roots musician. Somebody should record this lady - she's brilliant!
  • @DrTramp-uu1hh
    Beautiful. You done Townes proud with "Close Your Eyes" and "Last Of My Kind" was mighty fine too.
  • @jackod28

  • @keBsIsland
    The guitars sounds incredible and mixing together with the mics were spot on. I believe they were both 13 frets. The singer & guitarist is really good & beautiful. I really enjoyed this and want to hear more.
  • @toddgolden4578
    These are shockingly beautiful performances. You’ve got me listening to Paul Burch now! I just wish the audio from these things were available on Spotify. I’ve listened to every version of Last of My Kind and this is clearly the best one. And many of these fancy guitar demos are so good they deserve broader availability. My two cents.

    Lovely treat… the singing, the playing, the song choice and the guitar selection - beautiful as always Lindsey…
  • @stevep2430
    You have a voice that moves the soul, just wow I am blown away.
  • @chrissaltmusic
    Fantastic! Great guitars and wonderful playing/singing.
  • @saintless
    Guitar talk aside, thank you for turning me on to Paul Burch.. grabbed his cd on Ebay and have it on repeat for the last few days. Please do more of these covers, you do them well and you clearly have a lot of great songs in those fingers. Thanks for the guitar samples too!

    I am coming back again and again to this video. Haunting in a very positive way. Thanks for uploading.
