The Friendly 12bar Blues Guitar Forum

Great tune, BB. Tell Becka not to be so hard on herself, she is great. I wish we could all be there on the 4th, I bet that is going to be a blast (pun intended). Be sure to have someone record a bit of video, we would all like seeing and hearing you guys.

That's great HBL... isn't it wonderful how just listening to music can lift your spirits? It's no wonder that it is the universal language. Cheers!

ZOWEE... Strummer. It's been a blues week all around the world! Joanne Shaw Taylor is one of my favorites. I am watching her schedule closely to see when she comes within range. That's a great description of her performance, almost makes me feel like I was there. It also makes me want to see her all...

:music2: It's been a busy Bluesey week for Aggifan and I. We were in Louisiana this past weekend visiting relatives and made it over to Bossier City to watch ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert. It was held in the Centratel Center, a very large venue, so we were not that close (thank goodness for b...

Great video HBL... Very imaginative. The playing ain't bad either, as expected. Great project.

Super tune HBL... another one for the ole' iPod.... love it.

Very sad, indeed. Seve was well respected the world over in golf. He always had a gentle demeanor, I have never seen anything on TV where he lost his cool. A great loss to the world and especially to the world of golf.

Here is a question that I was wondering…. Why exactly do we call the type of music that we all love “Blues”? I did a bit of internet searching and found the following information describing why the name “Blues” is applied to this particular type of music. I have no idea whether a word of this is tru...

Thanks for the very kind comments, guys. This was a fun project and took us all out on a limb where we have never been before. We each learned something new, which is what this forum is all about, right? Any time any of you are in central NM come and sit in with the TWBB. Thanks for the invite, Blin...

:big_smile: Hi Guys.... it's time for a second offering from the collaborative efforts of Golfxzq, Strummer07 and MoJoJim. If you have been around for a little while you may recall our first posting back in November of last year of Bubble Gum Blues (http://12bar.de/community/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=...

:D Hi Guys... just wanted to share with everyone a great time that I recently had. Each year my wife and I try to attend a PGA golf tournament or two. When I was looking over the various tournaments which were within driving distance I noticed that the Texas Valero Open was in San Antonio, TX. Hay.....

Well done Strummer & VB... wonderful vocals and playing... great job. I love the lyrics, so apropos for today's world, it makes me appreciate my retirement so much more.

Are these really kindergartners or are they really just 60 year olds with really big guitars???

:welcome: Shuffle. Great to have you around. Don't worry about being new to the guitar, there a lot of us beginners here. Along with a whole host of great experienced players. You can pretty much get any question you have about playing blues answered here. I too am anxious to see your Tele. I have h...

That's a great looking bass, VB. Aren't all guitars beautiful? There's something about them that makes them attractive even before hearing them... and then that is a whole new attraction.

Great sound too, I'm sure you will enjoy her.

Blonde is good but for me he is just another good player, nothing special. Pine Cone, on the other hand, is very original. I don't think there are too many people around who could duplicate his music. I guess it's a good thing that I'm not a judge because I would have picked Pine Cone.

:beer: Congratulations to South Africa... Charl Schwartzel was a come from behind winner. Also a great showing by Australia with Jason Day and Adam Scott both tied for second place. Regrets go out to Northern Ireland... Roy Mcilroy did great but crumbled under the pressure of the last day. He is an ...

Oh how I wish that my rhythm playing could be so rusty.... That was beautiful.... just waiting on the final product.

Enjoy it indeed!!! That was great, it sounds like rainy days really perk you up instead of get you down. I loved the up beat tempo.

:welcome: Digismash... it sounds like you have a pretty good leg up on playing since you already play base. I agree with Strummer, one on one is the best way to go. I started with an instructor about three months ago and it has helped me tremendously (although I need a tremendous amount of help stil...
