The Friendly 12bar Blues Guitar Forum

After about 2 years of being used by a friend that had a accident that took one of his fingertips ( yup left hand righthanded guitar player), Red , my London City Spitfire MK2 is back in the house. Ouch! :yikes: To me it sounds as if you can get the HBL sound out of any guitar and amp. Crystal clea...

One of the greatest intro lines in the blues, in my humble opinion.

to our small community!
Looks like we're on the same wavelength!

If I ever visit the USA again I'll focus on the Delta and Texas... must be great to visit all these historic Blues places.

After so much drugs, alcohol and nicotine he still looks great...

Looks like a great work!
Maybe you can introduce yourself a little bit and post some sound examples...

to the forum btw!

BTW - you know Mike Oldfield didn't sing on on his records, he always hired a singer. Well, not always, back in 1968/69 he had a band with his sister Sally. They recorded the LP "Children of the sun" containing this one with young Mike singing (and playing a nice guitar): https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Good luck and have fun!

Room sizes here are that small it's difficult to store them far from a radiator wherever they're placed.

I'm on an Albert Collins binge

Iceman, yeah his style (no pick, but capo) and telecaster tone was really unique.
Love this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koJT6JL_yc0

Yes, great! Just reading the comments, 11 years ago, including Jim
(Around 5 min there's a great lick!)

Please "Volker" - according to the forum rules NO links in the signature allowed.

My son's Fender acoustic has a Fishman, not bad considering the price. :dance: My guitars are stored next to a radiator for years. I know everyone tells you not to do it, it will shrink the wood and is evil, but it doesn't harm them. No problem with the frets and the tuning is and intonation is stab...

Thanks!
