I found some good stuff on Tyros four.
Here's one that shows it can do Country. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwFY12Ks-6Y&feature=more_related

Don as soon as your Tyros4 comes? you'll be sounding just as good if not better for sure!!!! or whatever you choose to play.

Good Luck!

Very nice. Being a die-hard Country fan myself, it's nice to see this stuff on YouTube.

Going to the folky side of Country, the S910 (and the T4, no doubt) have a great Folk Pop style, that with a teensy bit of editing, is a killer style for Gordon Lightfoot material, like Carefree Highway, Song For A Winter's Night, Did She Mention My Name, and many other tunes with that same "fingerpicking" style of guitar.

Many people think Country music is simple and easy to play, but, it requires a lot of discipline and restraint.

I played "pie-anna" in a Country group for several years, and really grew to appreciate and love the music.

Michel Voncken ain't bad as a country crooner...nice tune, too.

Ian we have yet to see what TYROS 4 features trickle down to the next S series unit from Yamaha....waiting patiently for that and more from others also.

Outstanding!

T4 sounds good, but I'm not convinced yet.
DonM

I can understand your concern Don after watching these T4 videos as we have discussed privately, yes they sound great BUT are they really THAT different sounding then a T2,T3, etc,? ....especially at this time before expected releases due out soon at NAMM.....what's a few more months to wait....there is no rush..

I've gotten spoiled to the realism of the Audya, but I missed some of the helpful features on Yamahas too.

Don, you will fall in love with the Slap Guitars, the Blues Guitar, and the Pedal Steel. Heck, all the guitars are awesome and so is the violins/fiddle and harmonicas.

It's a little light in the Country styles category, but that's no problem with the wealth of public domain country styles out there.

I love some of the country styles on Tyros4. Having the SA voices and new drums in the accompaniment mix really liven things up. You can clearly hear all of the instruments in a great stereo mix. Much better than on Tyros3!! -charley

Hey DonM, I first saw that video a week ago but resisted posting it here because I realized Michel's not half as authentic a Country singer as you. That said, I think Voncken sounded very good and was particularly impressed with his S.A voice demo showcasing Tyros 4's super articulation pedal steel.

Don:

Thanks for sharing this with us. Michael did the song well... but he's no Don Mason.
Happy New Year... and I hope you're watching the Hogs tonight in N'awlins as they take on Ohio State. Should be a great game.

Best,

Dave

I think the guy did a great job singing, maybe the best I've heard from him. As for the style, nothing special. Adequate, but crappy drums, as usual. The steel sounds real good.

Don maybe the Audya 61 is your best bet?

Man, I can just hear Don KILLING that tune ... back in the day with the band I did this song ... I was playing Cordovox then and the expression pedal had a little thing on the side that would give you the 'glide' effect ... it was pretty cool ...
