The Friendly 12bar Blues Guitar Forum

Welcome to the blues jr club VB!! You'll have a lot of fun with that amp, I love mine use it all the time low volume around the house, crank the master up at jams, graet little amp. Dan

Nice SG, looks really good and really liked the sound clips! Can't go wrong with Lollar P90s, I have two p90 guitars and have lollar p90s in both, 50s wind in one and an underwound in the other and they both sound really good noticeably better than the pick ups they replaced, much clearer and more b...

Thought I'd post a little update, everything is going really well and moving along at a nice steady pace. We tried out a drummer today, went really good, young guy in his early 20s, he plays in a rock band but really wants to explore the blues. He didn't overplay or play to loud, seemed to have a go...

Some of you may remember a while back I posted that I was starting a band and after a short time everyone was flaking out on it so I pullled the plug. Tried to get it going again with the drummer and some guys he knew but no go. So I saw an ad on my local craigeslist, wanted 2nd guitar for blues. I ...

Wow Tom that was really good, I don't know what was in that wine you were drinking but I'd like to get a little bit of that!! You were on fire man, very cool!! Dan

I had just recently picked up his latest cd, never heard of him before , good stuff, some great playing and singing. Sad to hear of his passing! From what I understood he was given the name Magic Slim from Magic Sam! RIP Magic Slim!! Dan

Thanks VB, I think the first version was a little busy in some ways, I think my phrasing was better in v2, I smoothed out the rhythm a bit also. Again thanks! Dan

Hey Guys, so I posted my take on the old Chicago blues classic key to the hyway a while back. It was ok but just wasn't quite happy with it, so went back and re did it, I think its much improved now. So hope you like it! Thanks . Dan

Very nice Tom, excellent playing and tone!! Dan

Sounds good Tom, Jazz. Blues, and now country you can do it all! Guitar sounds really good, liked both the twang and the blues! How about the blues jr when do we get a demo, is it a new or used blues jr, I have a 3 and really like it only mod I did was swapped the speaker for an eminence canabis rex...

Very cool badblueplayer! Sounds really good , looks cool too, I have a blues jr 3 have thought about putting it into a bigger pine cab, just not sure if I want to put that much money into it, i've heard that the bigger cab alone will really help open them up tone wise. Nice job on all the work! Dan

Sounds good HBL! the sound , tone is very retro sounding, I like it! The skynyrd boys would be proud! Dan

VB sorry to hear your struggling with the sg, I have a couple of P90 guitars, I know P90s can be somewhat bass heavey and thicker in the mids esspecially the neck pickup, and like you I also prefer to play pretty clean or with just a little od. both of my P90 guitars I have swapped the pickups out f...

Wow, very good Tom, excellent playing, tone , feel! Dan

Thanks Tom, glad you like the tune! Well the band thing is going pretty slow, basicly pulled the plug on it, guys not showing up or really working on the tunes. The drummer and myself are talking about starting over with some different guys but we haven't really started looking yet. Have been hittin...

Been kind of quiet around here, lately! Been a while since I last posted anything, I kind of go in spurts. This is called School Girl Blues its loosely based on the blues classic Good Morning little School girl, played a godin lg sp90 guitar that I recently got in a trade, great guitar has a Lollar ...

you sure did Tom, sweet, really nice playing and tone!! Dan

VB we do both go for simalar tones, don't know why I go more for clean tones than overdriven tones just seems to suit me better. And like you I think the clean channell on the xd just seems to sound more natural or real I'm not sure maybe I hear a bit of digital something in the 2nd channell. I don'...

I have had more than I can remember also, I think after you get comfortable playing out live you just shrug all those oopps moments off plus usually no one else even notices. Once was given music for a tune we were playing at a conference of course the sheet I was given was in a different key than e...

Hey Tom, I have a super champ xd have had it for a few years now, its a nice little amp. I really only use the clean channel and the only fx I use is the reverb but it sounds really good. I changed the speaker in mine first put an eminence legend 1058 in it sounded good maybe a little brite, then la...
