Cordoba GK Pro Negra
The Cordoba GK Pro Negra is a flamenco-inspired nylon-string crossover that’s become a total favorite among fingerstyle players. Built with a solid European spruce top paired with stunning Indian rosewood back and sides, it delivers that warm, woody resonance with a bright, snappy attack—perfect for everything from delicate arpeggios to punchy percussive stuff.
The slim neck and cutaway make it super comfortable and easy to navigate up the fretboard, while the built-in Fishman Prefix ProBlend pickup system gives you natural, balanced amplified tone right out of the box. It’s basically a stage-and-studio workhorse that looks as good as it sounds.
Bossa Nova – Fingerstyle Chord Melody
In this video and all the other videos below, I’ll be playing my Cordoba GK Pro Negra with Hannabach strings. And if I’m plugged, I’m always using a Mogami Gold cable.
Here I’m playing a fingerstyle arrangement of “The Girl From Ipanema.”
I am plugged in directly into the Audient ID4 with the Mogami cable as well as catching the room sound with an Audio-Technica AT2020 microphone.
Jazz Guitar – Walking Bass
In this video, I’m playing a walking bass line to the jazz standard, “All the Things You Are.”
And, just like in the other video above this one, I’m combing direct input through the ID4 with the AT2020 mic.
Fingerpicking Pattern
Here, I’m backing up a violinist with the classic fingerpicking pattern of “Dust in the Wind.”
I’m playing through a Bose S1 Pro+ amp and recording the sound with an old Zoom 4hn Pro, which I just placed somewhere in the room using its external speaker (not plugged in).
Rock n’ Roll with a Pick
In this one I’m using a pick to backup a violinist on “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” And the pick I’m using is a Dunlop Gator Grip .96mm.
I recorded this with an iPhone and I’m going through the Bose S1 Pro+.
