The Friendly 12bar Blues Guitar Forum

Roswellj - Welcome back!

I've still got one of your songs on my desktop and play it from time to time.

(I was probably known as JimRR when you were here before)

Wow! Thats' pretty scary, Bb. :yikes: We've been watching the fires move east from Arizona and thinking about you. :wave: Last week two of my grandkids were camping with their Dad around Jemez Springs. Another reason we were keeping an eye on the fires. I told the kids that if they went into Los Ojo...

That just sounds fantastic!

The sound of that slide seems like the essence of the Blues.

Your singing is really getting better by leaps and bounds.

I could sit and listen to this all day. Excellent!

My guess is that they are working at the wrong end of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. :whistle: They're working at the top of the hierarchy where higher level concepts such as self-realization exist (how you feel about yourself). :think: :wink: Real guitars live at the bottom of the hierarchy with the ...

OK - you're messing with me now - aren't cha'. :wink: :tease: First we get some slide playing from you and the TRBB - sounds great! Sounds like Los Ojos. Sound like what I've come to expect. Then immediately you send us a piece with Blues/Jazz/Singer-Songwriter/Chanteuse/Cocktail - with just a hint ...

Very beautiful guitar.

I got one a couple of years ago. Very happy to have it.

Very humbled that I can't play well enough to live up to it.

The excitement in anticipation of a visit with Golfxzq and his wife began building weeks in advance. We had a wonderful evening and just had the best time. Golfxzq and I had to be on best behaviour and not just dash off to the guitars as soon as they arrived. We got in a little playing but it could ...

Now we need a follow-up.

Is it possible to do a blues versions of "Take This Job and Shove It"?

VB and Strummer - super job!!!

You complemented each other very, very well on this piece.

Excellent lyrics, excellent playing - and effects that really bring the song to life.

Congrats!!

About the only time I want to fold my guitar is after a particularly frustrating practice session. :wall: :angry: Then I want to fold it across my knee - not use a hinge. :yikes: :wink: But, of course, I would never actually mistreat a guitar. :naughty: :peace: I saw a review of these guitars some t...

Best thing......Hmmmmm.... OK, I've got it. :think: :aha: Last week I wiped the dust off of my guitar with a microfiber cloth. And...and...that's not all!! I put some Fast Fret on the fingerboard and strings. When I tear into a guitar there's just no stopping me. :tease: Seriously, I'm a bit intimid...

Welcome, RobertLee. :welcome: There really are some terrific players on this forum - but there are also lots of us who are just learning. I'm 68 and took up blues guitar just over two years ago. (I may be the old man on this site). It's coming along slowly - but I make some progress each week. The m...

I find this is a really hard thing to do. I studied HBL's old tune, Noodle Soup, where he opens with a slow bend and a beautiful vibrato on the end of the note. I've listened and played, listened and played, slowed it down and played, etc. - trying to match his technique - with some limited success....

A wonderful piece of music. Rich in content and emotion. Deeply and honestly felt in delivery. The team's oneness of spirit and purpose is evident in the blending. And I believe it conveys the sympathy, honor and respect that our whole community feels towards Gerd.

Rock solid, BTM. Great version.

Alternate picking on triplets like that is techinique that I just dream of.

Great - like all your music.

When you read magazines about the design world there is always somebody with a new toothbrush design or a designer chair and these are supposed to be beautiful. But they are usually not. They are just weirdly shaped toothbrushes and chairs. But the classic shapes of guitars are truly beautiful. Deac...

Really good music L77S. I like the guitar work a lot and you voice matches the song well. When I started listening I thought I heard a lot of influences from the 50s. I heard a hint of Unchained Melody, Angel Baby, something by Santo and Johnny, a little do-wop flavor and a little of a lot of the ro...

Hi Doc, to the site.

Delbert! He's a good Ft. Worth, Texas boy. Love those Jump Blues.

to the site.

I've got a nice acoustic and I just keep a guitar case humidifier in the case. I also keep a humidity meter in the case. I check it every several days to be sure the humidity level is staying at the right level in the case. This system has worked great so far.

Congratulations on your 25 years of marriage - quite a milestone.

Wonderful song. Wonderful song. It dropped me into a deep reverie.......
