Country Blues Shuffle with Bastien Teisseire
FRENCH GUITARIST BASTIEN TEISSEIRE RECENTLY COLLABORATED WITH BALSAMIQ PRODUCTION ON A SERIES OF NEW VISUALS.
With an immensely talented group of musical peers at his side, Teisseire proceeded to captivate the room with his distinct style. While most of his counterparts brought either a heavy metal or neo-soul influence to the table, he decided to change things up, serving up some country-style licks. Well within his comfort zone, his playing exuded a rich blues influence with pinpoint accuracy and methodical precision.
This fast-paced, foot-tapping flurry of notes was delivered with an OZ RF V3 in hand. With the middle single-coil pickup dialed in to produce a rich and direct tone, the no-frills approach to its signal chain allowed every note the clarity it deserved. The guitar itself is a refined extension of the OZ collection. Featuring a bolt-on hard maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, alder body, and GOTOH hardware, its versatility was realized as Teisseire steered it in unique directions. Winding down with a slick pentatonic run, Bastien left us wanting more, wishing the groove could carry on without end. Luckily, we know exactly where to find him the next time we need our bluesy fix.
