The Friendly 12bar Blues Guitar Forum

The IRA feature sounds a lot like voodoo to me. As a natural scientist I tend to rely more on physics than on feeling when it comes to technical features. All matter has a natural frequency (and wavelength) according to De Broglie, but for things greater than electrons or atoms that's too small to n...

Try the BB King approach - either sing or play guitar...

As long as you don't DREAM about 12bar...

Can't wait to be back again - just started painting the walls.

Well, you know, every time I ask a question on this forum the heart of the answer seems to be "practice, practice, practice". Don't you guys have an magic formulas for playing blues? :whistle: :wall: Well, go to the crossroads somewhere in Mississippi at midnight or dawn and sell your sou...

You've literally cut those note out of the scale...

I'll never play an arp again!

In this case Wikipedia is quite accurate:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpeggio
It will answer most questions... although the limitation to classical music for guitar is quite wrong.

Congratulation! Looks beautiful! :thumbsup: I've had it for almost a week and I'm on my third set of strings and my fingers are raw. :yikes: 3rd set? Interesting, cause I usually need only one set a year. :think: Pretty much the same things that attract us males to females... eh? Keep her a few year...

Not yours, I hope? (You'll never know what those meds will do to you...)
Anyway, still out of my range...

Hope you're doing well!

MY SLIDE?!? That ain't possible...

oneeyedslide wrote:(I gotta figure out the trick you folks do here where you refer back to someones previous post when you respond)

Just hit the "quote" button of the post you want to refer to and delete all words you don't need.

Wise words about obsessions btw!

Sounds it finally turned to what we know as "happy end"! Edric (not Eric? ) has a good taste.
Now all we need is a video or at least some audio ...

to JakeJ and oneeyedslide ! Still too busy with my house, but someday my guitars will be played again...

Oh shit. He can sing too.

(Green about Clapton when he performed Ramblin')

Your voice is much better than you might think and fits well to your playing. It's Blues, not opera... Keep on with it.

Your meds sound like I sometimes need some of them... is it for your arm/hand?

I think there's maybe a Chris Rea (the recent blues man reborn, Chris Rea that is) influence on my take on this BT - 12bar might be able to comment on this as I know he likes his stuff. :icon_whoknows: There is - this floating, singing tone has a lot of Rea. And the voice - perfect... :pray: Remind...

This thread has puzzled me a bit ..............218 views and only 5 responses .and 4 of those are mine !! Usually I love to respond, but from "exile" I hardly can read all posts... For the DT review - forget it. The reviewer seems to know nothing about EC's history. If you enjoyed it, it'...

Sure

Did a quick listen - Albert - SRV - Blindboy: great!
