This song from Uli features his wonderful tapping technique. The hypnotic piece has a clearly eclectic compositional sound with one foot in fingerstyle and the other in electronica all with a real groove to it. The piece benefits from the carbon fiber Rider nylon strings' exceptional evenness across the fretboard which yields a transparent amplified voice.
Our Friend Uli from Germany stopped by the shop and played this wonderful piece. The carbon fiber Rider nylon string has a very strong, percussive voice that is particularly well suited for Flamenco. At 3 lbs, you get all the resonance Flamenco players are accustomed to without ever worrying about durability. Uli really liked the off-set sound hole for monitoring.
