Guitarist Dominic Frasca

August 27, 2008 by Chris

While on holidays at home this year, I’ve had a fair amount of time on my hands.

I read some fascinating books, did some odd jobs around the house, huge out with my loverly wife and puppy Midnight (she was 1 year old on the 25th) and looked for things to blog about. that is when I came across this guitarist called Dominic Frasca. This man is a monster on guitar!

He is around 41, from Ohio, lives in New York City and there is one more thing that I’m trying to remember about this guy … oh ya he’s a classically-trained guitar virtuoso.

He plays this 10 stringed guitar and has this very unique capo. For the life of me I cannot find out who makes this thing. If you look at this video below or at the 1:21 / 3:17 section of it, you will get a looksie at what I mean. Is it me or this a homemade capo that looks like a carpenter’s “C” clamp that has been modified? Can someone help me out here?

Yours “Sing”cerly, clueless in Canada!
Keep on Jammin’

    I have also taken up guitar not long ago, stupidly i bought an electric guitar first, and now i wish i bought an acoustic guitar – it doesn’t help living in a flat with wooden flooring and angry neighbours! So i have to use my headphones to plug into my amp. I have been trying to record a few small tracks onto my PC and it sounds really echoey because of my wood flooring and can’t seem to remove the echo. I don’t suppose you would know on the best programm to use? I have tried a rug, but it still seems to echo.

    I’m not sure which software to recommend for your situation Claire, sorry about that.

    Maybe one of my readers could step up to the plate and give you a rough idea on how to work on this problem. What program are you using on your system? Someone here might be able to help you out!

    Ok now gang here’s a problem to work on together! Any idea’s?

    Keep on Jammin’

    Wow that’s amazing stuff. What’s that piece in the middle that looks like it blocks off a string or something? Also I’ve never seen a ten string classical before. Great stuff.

    That’s a capo Robert. I’ve never seen on either. It’s probably something that he made on his own, I guess?

    Thanx for the comment Robert
