Get the tone

Sylvain is a Godin endorsee, using Multiac nylon and steel-string electro-acoustic models and a P90-equipped hollowbody archtop, DI’d or via an AER acoustic amp. I emulated his electric tone here; use whatever you’ve got, although you’ll need a cutaway to get to the higher frets. Luc chooses round wound strings with wound third, and further bucks convention by often selecting the bridge pickup, particularly for harmonics and funky parts. His picks lightly, but this provides a perfect dynamic balance with his flawless fingerpicking technique.
