The Friendly 12bar Blues Guitar Forum

Besides setting the intonation, playing it. DeaconBlues... this a very good point. Setting the intonation is a simple thing that anyone can do with a screwdriver and an electronic tuner. If you think about it we play most of our notes "up the neck", not in the open position. Wouldn't we w...

Loved it, B2M... this made me a fan. This one is now in my collection. Very nice.

This is a hard question to answer.... it's sort of like falling in love. If you see a girl that you think is pretty and you are attracted to her you go in for a closer look. You do a little research to see about her background and if she comes from a good family. If you are still interested you ask ...

MikeL....great to have you around. This is THE place to be if you are into blues.

Not that it really matters at all but I am proud to say that Pinetop Perkins was born in my home town of Belzoni, Mississippi.... I just wish some of that blues magic could have rubbed off on me. There is a new museum there commemorating his life but it had not opened when I was visiting my Mom this...

Wonderful job to you all... very well done. A fitting tribute....

Ratfinkdan... that is some mighty fine playin' and I love the guitars... I'm partial to LP's as well. I really, really, like the Jazzy Blues tune with your LP Special. Glad to have such a talented player join the forum (another one... this is giving me a complex).

:wave: Hi Guys... It seems that we guitar lovers are always fiddling with our guitars... adding something, adjusting something, changing out something... we are only satisfied until we learn about something new and then we start all over again. A lot of folks talk about using different strings, chan...

Sorry for the double posting... Don't know what happened there. I tried the edit, delete post check box but it would not delete. You might want to check that feature, Gerd. Or then, mabe it's just me?

:welcome: Welcome to the forum... that's some pretty good playing there, I enjoyed listening to your video. I'm certainly no expert, I have learned most of what I know right here in this forum so take heed of what is written here and you will go far. I agree with all the advice already given, slow i...

And now I see on the news that they have also had a volcano eruption somewhere in Japan. Those poor people have been hit hard

"Finger style" !!! It seem that the finger (less the nail) is healing up pretty quickly. Great sounding tune.

Hi Doc, welcome to 12Bar. Lynard77Skynyrd is right, there are a lot of very talented Blues players on this forum. But... Don't let him fool you, he is very good himself. There are also a lot of us beginner too. From your description it sounds like you could be right up there with the more advanced p...

That's super, ElMano... good luck with the auction, a very good cause. How about a sound bite? I'm no harp player but I would love to hear what this instrument sounds like .

D28.... Here's the site where I downloaded the BB King box tab. I'm afraid it doesn't exactly specify which song these are from, just that they are from BB's favorite boxes. I hope this helps a bit... there is tons of great information out there on the web but the BEST stuff is right here on the 12B...

Hi D28,

Cool licks, huh? Love that BB sound. I took this tear sheet from a web site. I think it was Jamplay. Something either provided by Kallie or at least inspired by him back the first part of January. I'll look it up tonight when I get home and give you a good link.

What a great job by the three of you... VB, HBL, and Sandra. It's amazing how this has come together, I loved the haunting tune the first time and it is even better with this video. AND... what a wonderful advertisement for 12Bar!!!

Well Bb.... all I can say is that you NAILED it again!

BTW... HBL, I got carried away wishing you congratulations on being married for 25 years and totally ignored the fact that you posted a totally AWESOME recording. I have just gotten around to listening to this tonight I was blown away... great sounding tune. Thanks for sharing.

congratulations, HBL. That is a great to have been married for 25 years.
