Nearly 3 More Months
Posted: Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:14 pm
Every 3 months or so I realise I've not posted any music here, and usually also realise I've not done anything very bluesy.
Same this time! But in case anyone cares to try some other genres of an acoustic nature .....
Very loosely based on, and much changed from, a Martin Simpson arrangement of "The Green Linnet". So changed I've changed the name.
A tune by David White, a very skilled Luthier who trades under the name "De Faoite Guitars". He's a very good player too and writes a good tune. I wish I could do it more justice.
I cut the tip of my left hand index finger with a bottle and after a few days of not playing at all thought I'd try and play with just the middle and ring fingers of the left hand fretting notes. Can't use the little finger due to pain in joints. Had a go at improvising in DADGAD and recorded it. Yes it's slow, but I usually play slow as I like hearing the notes ring out. The fact it doesn't sound much different to when I can use my index finger too says more about my poor use of three fingers than my skill with two!
The first two are with the Vintage V2000MGG Gordon Giltrap all Mahogany guitar. The third one with the Vintage VE2000GG Gordon Giltrap cedar top.
A wonderful couple of acoustic guitars, especially at the ridiculously low prices.
