Chords for 2018 Pellerin Presentation Grand Auditorium, Cocobolo/Sitka

_ _ _ _ _ Hello, this is Paul Hummeler at Dream Guitars, and here's another incredible instrument from
Michel Pellerin.
[Ebm] Michel is one of Canada's finest luthiers, and he's also a teacher of
guitar [Eb] building and is teaching and mentoring a number of the great makers around today in Canada.
_ This is his Grand Auditorium Presentation guitar. _
It's made out of coca-bola rosewood on the back
and sides.
Coca-bola has this reddish hue and often has a beautiful little bit of sapwood,
which a builder can highlight to give it some [G] drama. _
[E] The top on this one is really silky sika
spruce, one of my favorites because it does everything well.
_ Sika is warm and it's rich.
It's also powerful, and then this guitar has got a lot of [D] chime on top, which [Eb] you'll hear in a
minute. _
The other really nice features about this guitar, he used African blackwood for the bridge
and the binding and the bevel.
It's got a subtle bevel here, which really feels great into the arm
for a bigger guitar.
You can play all day without getting that lovely red line we get.
And then [E] this inlay, which you should look at the pictures for, this is a Japanese flower, _
and I really like it.
When I walk by it in the shop, every [F] time I wind up [D] having a look at it,
it's drawing my eye for some reason.
So personally, I like it a lot.
It's subtle. _
It's intricate,
_ but it's in that one small area.
It just really kind of sets the guitar off, I think.
So
definitely a presentation-grade instrument here.
[E] So let's give this one a listen. _
