You’ve often said you’re not so keen on acoustic playing, but you should really do more…. You’re damn good at it, man! 😳
It's always a treat when Dave does some acoustic.
Imagine an acoustic Dave album where some tracks are instrumentals like this, and some are beautiful acoustic songs. Would be amazing I think.
What a journey that was a piece where you can close your eyes and the music takes over
The best thing that can happen to every guitar is to get played by Dave.
what frusciante is to you , you are to me dave i wanna be the left handed version of you
Please reconsider, because Dave never learnt how to play his left hand.
He tried though, he tried...
Music, the gift of it. You give it away and so you will always have more of it.
You bring so much joy in your videos. I learn, I laugh, I'm inspired and enthralled by your playing. Another fantastic video Dave. Thanks for all you do.
Beautiful playing. Absolutely inspiring to hear.
Dave, that was out of this world, mate. Dont have the privelege of hearing you on an acoustic very often. That was beautiful ❤
Wonderful episode. Thank you very much!
Dave love your slide and acoustic vids. Excellent work.
It sounds great, very nice and relaxing Dave thanks.
Most excellent,really good to hear ya and see ya on playing on this acoustic..
Thanks Dave.
Another great 24 minutes of walking Chicago neighborhoods listening to your music.

Beautiful piece there, absolutely blew me away !
Good playin Dave. And audio sounded awesome, keep up the good work
Both the guitar and yourself sound FLICKING AMAZING ! !
Really awesome Dave
I really enjoy your channel and I really get into your electric solo jams,but I absolutely love to hear you play acoustic. I hope you'll do more acoustic tracks in the future. Keep on keeping on, Dave.
Inspiring playing thanks Mr S!🙂
You play that guitar very well thank you
good gravy I love it when Dave plays acoustic
you have talent Dave in many ways its a joy to hear you play
That intro was ace! I thought there were some reverb on it aswell, great sounding setup with the two mics
I never know exactly where you’re going ↔️ but you always take us to a really nice musical place. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵💕
First I've seen an acoustic, plugged into that new Blue Sky? Reverb match made in heaven. What a guitar, but Dave you are and exceptional musician 👌👍🎸😊
Nice! Wish you'd do more acoustic Dave. I'm still in awe of the superb acoustic jam you did a few years ago with your friend Marjo in your video "Playing John Frusciante's, Jimi Hendrix's & Paul Kossoff's Guitars In Paris". It was superb.
Good Sir, you are a supremely talented Musician.. I wish you all the success you and the other members of Red Giant truly deserve..
Stay well , Stay safe....❤
You play beautifully and the Epiphone sounds amazing similar to a J200 but brighter which is what I love.
Great work setting that accoustic up... your bro is very fortunate to have been given such a nice guitar, and to have your good self on hand to get it singing again....
D'addario string's are superb .....
I like to play the Floyd's "Us and Them" when playing a guitar for the first time....
More accoustic guitar please 🎸🎸🤟🤟🙏🙏😎😎🇳🇿🇳🇿
Wow what fantastic playing you sound so good 😊
Dave mate…that sounds bliss pal…🔥🔥🔥
You have a really nice acoustic technique ....lots of light and shade...great touch. Would also like to hear some acoustic electric nylon strung through a peddle or two... 🙏
Dave you don't show off. You show off the guitar you are playing. Brilliant!!!
sounds great brother!
Awesome, I really need to get an acoustic guitar
For a guy who doesn't often seem to play acoustic guitar, you are a guy that masters acoustic guitar in a beautiful and really professional way Dave! Just beautiful playing mate, awesome!
Dave the GOAT!!! Blessings friend!!!
What a beautiful guitar ❤
there was parts in there that reminded me of Travis Meeks playing. Really great playing, thanks Dave.
Well...... That intro was a workout. Amazing guitar skills 😮
For someone who professes to not be that bothered with accoustic guitar, I say you're doing a bit more than quite allright, Dave. And that Jumbo suits you. Our bass player has got an Epiphone very much like yours, and it sounds stellar as well.
That was excellent sounding. If you want a cool like series to do for the tube, then maybe do like a parts caster cause that would be really cool to see and to hear your thoughts on like pickups and your ideas
Beautiful intro!!!
If I had this guitar the first thing I would play is "wish you were here" - actually, I thought you were going to play it when you strummed that open G but, you went for the oasis thing! Great demo as always! 👍
Dave I'm mesmorised...... That was stunning and beautiful! Please play more acoustic... That was other worldly.
Thanks Dave live your CZcams. Scott from Florida
Dave, the Guitar Wizard, strikes again!
That intro Jam had it all👍
That wonderful tuning dadgad
For someone who doesn’t play acoustic guitar much, you were stunning in this video. I thank you for sharing this, as I am considering the purchase of one, but dragging my feet because all I can find at the moment is Chinese made. I have so many Korean Epiphone guitars, that I’m dreading going in that direction. Well, one of my Les Paul’s is from Samick Indonesia, so maybe it will work out buying non-Korean. In 2015, after buying a phenomenal 1 in a million LP Custom, I decided to order a Custom Pro to compare it to. After 7 returns, (to the factory that is now the nexus for most, if not all Epi LP’s & most other electrics-Qingdao) I just simply gave up & asked for my money back. Boy those were horrible guitars then. And that was 2015 when the MIC guitars were supposed to have “surpassed” the MIK guitars. Boy oh boy- did I ever get off track! Again, absolutely brilliant performance, as well as your much appreciated commentary!
Take care!
Insane talent
Super to see you playing one of these! I have one I bought in 2000 except its in natural as opposed to the VS (vintage sunburst). The VS was sold out when I bought mine, probably cos of Noel playing one on the cover of Definitely Maybe! So I had to settle for the natural.
Jumbo guitars though - for when you have to be the loudest motherf**king acoustic guitar in the room, accept no substitutes!
Hiya Davy Boyo ! Enjoyed this "Acoustic" episode muchly... Think your comments concerning guitar are all accurate... To pick up someone else's guitar, which you are not familiar with and play it so well is to your credit... Have heard you play 'other' acoustics more comfortably... and... probably prefer those guitars more (?)... BUT... Like the way in which you built up your 'sonic' journey throughout that display of craftsmanship... proving you are one of the best musicians around (and evidence of your musical understanding and knowledge)... Yup... a twenty minute trip through the Galaxy to the 'Milky Way'... and back home for "Bangers & Mash" on the dinner table... all the more appetizing ! Starship Enterprise is still landing at Heathrow ! Cheers ! 🤠...
Found an early 2000's Gibson SJ 200 in a little music shop while going through Wyoming a couple years ago. Looks very similar to yours. I started playing it and was absolutely obsessed with it. It was a ridiculous amount of money, so I left it there. I talked about it so much that my wife insisted we turn around and buy it so she wouldn't have to hear about "the one that got away" for the rest of our lives. I was agonizing over it due to the cost. Hands down the best acoustic I've ever played and worth every penny. My wife was absolutely right. I would have regretted not purchasing it for the rest of my life. Fantastic guitar.
Beautiful piece. Gave me a John Butler - Ocean 'vibe' 👍
You are now officially cool enough to wear sunglasses in the dark
That was heavenly ☺️
Really warm sound. Great playing! I own a Epiphone DR 100, it's a little bit simples than this one but it sounds fine with elixir strings.
EJ 200 's are amazing guitars for the money and probably all the acoustic most of us will ever need. Listening to you play reminds me of how much I have to learn still. Ah well maybe in the next life.
I just got myself the Inspired by Gibson/Epiphone custom shop SJ200. Guitar is made beautifully and sound great. Was set up almost perfect out of the box. It is a big guitar but it sounds different than any other guitar I have. In a good way. Not better, just different.
I love open chords!!
First thing I often play on my acoustic is Man of the World.
Awsome, mines a 1990 Korean EJ200, think you're right about it being built for first position stummy chords, I always want to play Paul Weller 'That's entertainment' when I pick it up, it's got a big sound so great round the campfire type stuff, I play a lot of bluegrass too
I'm still reeling from "filth machine"
Keep on rocking 🤘
It's not the guitar Dave it's the wizard.x
What a fantastic video 3have a wonderful weekend Dave also Saturday is my friends birthday ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
The point to this video is that it’s a gorgeous sounding guitar in Dave’s hands. In my hands it sounds broken and twisted at best.
I bet thats not true. :)
When I heard the opening jam my first thought was "This reminds me of John Butler trio", the open C is what I was hearing. If you haven't heard John play you should check out Ocean live for sure. The maple back and sides acoustics always sound bright to me and that one with the 25.5 scale (I think) and big body is great for open tunings and strumming.
I have the electric cutaway version of this guitar in black. Definitely have to agree with you its quite a stiff playing guitar. Tuning it to Eb is a good idea i think im going to try that. Overall the biggest thing I don't like about it is how quiet it is. Its a jumbo guitar but it doesn't sound as loud as my cheap folk style acoustic. Maybe because mine has the cutaway it isnt as loud. The electronic pickups on this guitar sound VERY good for the price though... I mean the electronics out match most other premium acoustic pickups ive heard. Overall great guitar its very gorgeous and great build quality.
Could tell you were inspired by the guitar and set up 👍🎸
🔥
I like its tone - good and bassy with nice sparkle and fizz at top end. I don't play the dusty end much so it would suit this cowboy 😉
I have that model vs guitar. Only I don't sound like Dave 😡😁 need Dave in our lives, it's a better place when Daves around
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Acoustic guitar. Emotional sledge hammer of the guitar world. Devastating.
Loved the intro in places it sounded like an Indian Raga ( right up my street) it does sound good, if I were to pick it up I would have to play Tangled up in Blue...Big Dylan fan, I always like it when you play Blues on an Acoustic so more of that would be nice, just saying.
You should do an acoustic lesson on them g major open string riffs you play , id be very interested in that .
I used to have a gigantic jumbo 12 string that I traded away a few years ago and it sounded beautiful but was a beast to play....I found it to be a better capo cowboy chord guitar in the end....you might string it in Nashville or High Strung style with the top high strings of a 12 string set on top. Paul Simon did that a lot in his recording.
If smaller styles like parlour and folk sizes are the kings of finger picking, and the dreadnought is the general jack of all trades acoustic, the jumbo is definitely the king of strumming.
I had an Ibanez jumbo years ago, and that was a real strummer's rhythm machine too. When finger picking it tended to get a bit lost in the mix, but when strumming chords it was perfect. A mate of mine has an early '90s Gibson J200 and that's very much the same.
Pete Townshend used a J200 on virtually everything The Who recorded from about 1969 onwards, so I'd probably have to play Pinball Wizard or Behind Blue Eyes on it... That's what I always end up playing on my mate's Gibson anyway.
I might have to get one now... 😂
Dreadnought for last Christmas. Really suits a four chord cowboy strummer like me. I have been looking at the Harley Benton J200 for about £255.
Hi Dave!
Excellent playing, as always, and a nice-sounding/looking instrument. Have to admit, i like the sound of big acoustics but struggle to play dreadnoughts and the like, so I have a Guild parlour guitar (and keep ogling "grand concert" and "grand auditorium" sized instruments).
Were you using an open tuning for some of this one?
Open c
Thanks. I thought so but didn't quite trust what my ears were telling me . . .
Wow!!!!! just......Wow!!! (what tuning?) Wow
Open c.
I think you sound better on an acoustic without the effects. Understand with the electrics, but your classic blues always sounds impressive and believable when you play it on an acoustic. I'm no expert, but I think that a rare skill. I suppose it's something to do with synthetics versus resonance. Well played.
The neck should be level from top to bottom. Some are designed to slope away at the higher frets, but not so much that the action is unplayable. When a neck gets to the condition you described, it needs to be removed and reattached at the proper angle. Only a skilled luthier can do it. I owned an Ovation 12 string that developed that problem. Luckily I was able to trade it for a trio of PA speakers.
That's a beautiful Epi! Is it a J200?
the best of dave I'hv seen so far !🥲
Sounds Majestic Dave 🤴❤️⭐️🌞 you in standard or open tuning ?
Open c.
I bought an ej-200 some years ago, it has the single cut-away, i aleays wanted one more like yours here, but i didnt think they made them like that outsiide of Gibson
Hey Dave love your videos ,have you reviewed an epiphone dot ?trying to make my mind up between getting a Dot or a revelation with the f hole offset,love your playing .
I haven’t sadly no.
@@thedavesimpson Pulled the trigger on the revelation,what a neck !
Amazing Dave . What tuning is that beautiful guitar tuned to?
Open c.
Sounds great. I had one, but sold it because it was just too big and unwielding for me.
This is awesome!! What tuning is this in?
Open c
I'd play From the Beginning by Emerson Lake and Palmer or Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd on a jumbo
Because acoustic strings are nornally thicker than i use on electric and dont bend as easy i like to use a flexable 46mm pick i just find it flows better when strumming i tried harder picks and didnt like them at all.
So.......your bro's gettin' it back,is he? 🤔😇
Sadly. Haha.
This recording will fit well here, I think. Flamenco guitar part performed by great Steve Stevens, same man who did guitar solos for Billy Idol and Michael Jackson etc., and also famous Top Gun intro. He's turning 65 on May 5th, as in today.

Are you in standard tuning here m8??Sorry,Just saw the part where u say it’s tuned different,I’ve got this guitar too in vintage sunburst and last year I bought the exact same one in blonde which I found on facebook marketplace for 400 quid,Noel Gallagher plays the ej 200 in oasis early days,Then when the cash rolled in he got the Gibson version,But the one he plays is actually a j150,It’s a wee bit stripped back,No binding on the neck or headstock👍👍
Open c for the intro.
Hi 😊👋
😉👍👍
😎✌👍❤🖖
I had a 2010 model in black and sold it in the end for the same complaints you had. Too much 'tinny' bottom end and just felt a lot of tension on the strings. Shame because they look beautiful.
