Re: What's the smallest amp you're comfortable gigging with?

I'm of no help - my Fender Champ 600 is OK against a piano, but not for a gig with a drummer... :icon_whoknows:

Re: Friday night gig report

On one of the Christmas songs "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus", when I did my guitar solo, I think I got a bit carried away, and I really started to rock, a kid on one of the parade floats screamed at the top of his lungs "ERIC CLAPTON!", and I just blinked and finished my phrase...

Congrats - looks beautiful! :clap:
They should take your photo for the ads - you look much happier :big_smile:

Pickguard - useless as a guard for fingerstyle, but OK to rest the pinky on it.

Re: Some hot blues to help you true the wintertime

Thanks! It's no secret that a google blog search of your favorite album together with "megaupload" or "rapidshare" or similar gives interesting results. :whistle: But also lots of malware for your PC. And maybe a letter from a big company telling you they've logged your IP while...

Funny how different the tastes are - to me it's one of the ugliest guitars ever, even if it's a Gibon... :icon_whoknows:

Re: Green Pastures

Many uploads at the moment... :thumbsup: I think your playing has matured a lot, getting much more melodic. Your progress is fast! There's not much to improve, bends, phrasing are already great. Maybe the timing with the BT can be better - but that's a thing many of us share. :icon_whoknows: Again: ...

Re: musical motivation? what keeps you go on and on?

:welcome: back! (We've changed the server software a while ago, so you needed a new account) I play just for fun. If I see a guitar, I naturally want to grap it and play something. I still listen to Blues music, and I can listen to Thrill Is Gone a thousand times and virtually play my own guitar to ...

Hard times again - that beautiful da~##*@@!#mn oven contaminated my living room (where my guitars and PC are) totally with flue gas. :angry: Look like I'm very sensitive to this sort of smoke (never been a smoker, too).

Re: I be minor, I play the blues

The track was the neck mini humbucker, Line6 compressor pedal, Microcube on the Fender Blackface setting (and reverb). Played with fingers. With a 9 month baby in the house (read: flat), I am always in a hurry with playing, usually only have a few min, so didn't waste time trying find a pick. :D So...

Glad to hear you're doing well again! :thumbsup:
Again a very sweet tone and great notes flowing out of your DOT. Semi-hollows are just THE Blues guitars! :high5:

Re: 12bar album

OK, a completely new version. I'm more pleased with this, kind of funky rhythm sometimes. I don't have the audacity file any more to correct the slight latency in the beginning - all I have is this mp3. I accidentally opened the same project again instead of saving :wall: http://12bar.de/community/d...
