Today we feature Gary Stewart playing Albeniz with no nails. The guitar he is playing is a copy of a Torres. The video is only of the guitar, not Gary.

Hi,
I like your site very much, but this particular video doesn’t seem to be working.
Regards.
Hi Franck, it should be working now.

It’s been so many years now since I didn’t have nails, I’m very curious about playing without them. Of course, it’s impossible if you play with other guitarist’s on a regular basis, I’d never be able to keep up the sound. Nice recording.
I am without nails at the moment to reinforce technical and tone issues.
I sure don’t sound like that…, but wish I did.
I do plan on working with Mr. Thames to have a guitar made in the next few years.
