Pat is a world class musician, composer, educator, and wonderful human being who plays guitar through his heart. I walked into the studio, having only spoken to Pat through email and phone conversations, and Pat greeted me like we had known each other for years. I was nervous going into a recording studio with a new guitar and without Pat seeing it or playing it, and Pat instantly made me feel calm and cool. I then met <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talleysherwood.com\/\">Talley Sherwood<\/a>, the owner and engineer at Tritone Studios. We chatted for 15 minutes or so about guitars and music before we uncased the Amati. As Pat checked it out, Talley and I listened closely. Talley moved around, put his head in different locations and then pulled out two Schoeps CMC 6 condenser microphones and an AEA N8 Ribbon mic. As Talley moved in and out of the control room,\u00a0Pat got acquainted with the Amati and I sat there on the floor listening to the Amati warming up.<\/p>\n<p>I was amazed at how quickly Pat got used to the guitar. This Amati had a slightly wider nut width (1.8125&#8243;) and it didn&#8217;t slow Pat down one bit. As I slated a video recorder and my phone to the recording, Pat put the Amati through such a variety of playing styles and tunes. I hadn&#8217;t said a word to Pat about what to play and the guitar seemed to dictate exactly where he wanted to go with it. I couldn&#8217;t be happier with how it came out (although next time I&#8217;ll show up with a better camera).<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t checked out Pat&#8217;s work, do yourself a favor and dig in to his catalogue and his videos, you&#8217;ll be happy you did! www.PatKelley.com<\/p>\n<p>Plug in your good headphones or turn on your monitor speakers.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jftaEa6hTvg?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EWG6h6CD6hc?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In May of 2017 I met with Pat Kelley at Tritone Studios in Burbank, California.
