Re: Teach Me A Lesson
I also believe that music is something to make with others, being constantly on your own , locked away up there in your study (nice though it is) and playing to possums ( or whatever wee creature frequents you back garden) ...................won't bring out the best in you. Good luck in your tutor ...

Re: My Gibson ES-339
Jim, learning to play and learning something about the technical side of a guitar, which strings, which pickup, what works well etc. is an ongoing process and that's what makes guitar playing such fun, at least for me. I often feel helpless listening to EC's perfect mixture of tone and note. I know...

Re: My Gibson ES-339
Good question about intonation... I would like to learn more about this from those who have the experience. I would also like to know if we are doing this correctly using a tuner. Also, why on earth is my bridge floating??? Is that a good thing, a bad thing or does it make any difference at all ???...

Not much inspires like a really cool amp. Looking forward to hearing some VB through a genuine tube amp.

Re: Shuffle in G w/slide and strat...
Thanks guys, appreciate the compliments. :big_smile: VB, I, too prefer a good live album. I like live music in general. I know that I could use the software to put together something that sounds nice and mistake free, but that seems like a lot of work. :tongue: Not much to "cover up" there...

Thanks, VB. Yeah, I think it is just gonna take practice and plugging away at it. :wall: You know, it's funny; I am way more comfortable on stage (with a band) than playing in front of my computer, but you stick a mic in front of me, and my throat closes up and my mind goes blank. I am not even comf...

Open mic update, and call for information
This week we actually had a whole band, :chicken: drums, bass, guitar, and keyboards. For a while, a tourist from Berlin sat in on drums, and the drummer got up and played some excellent harp. :harp: 016 - Copy.JPG A fly in the ointment is that singers are kind of thin on the ground around here.

Re: Mannish Boy Blues collab anyone?
Whoo Hoo...! That sounds good everybody!I particularly like 12-bar's solo up front.
Weelie, I like that AlleyKat. I always wanted one of those.
VB, that Hagstrom sounds great... You should get it out more often.

Hell yeah!, VB that sounds good! I have no idea what that tune was "supposed" to sound like so I just played what the changes seemed to call for. I think what you played complimented what I played really well (no matter what it was "supposed" to sound like)) I am looking forward ...

Re: Kossoff Collaboration
Thanks Strummer.
No, I haven't listened to them any more than was on the radio when I was growing up (All Right Now). I saw them in concert once, but it was long after Paul Kossof passed.

Thanks Mojo and VB. We appreciate the well wishes
Jim... you are welcome to come next year. Round Rock isn't that far, and we have room for overnighters.
VB... it will eventually stop snowing, then get beautiful for at least six months.

Re: Kossoff Collaboration
Never really listened to Kossof, but here is a take on that riff. Sorry it took so long, I have been pretty busy.

Not really my bag, but I tried to get a rock feel.
