aerohead Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 This is not so much about the performance as I forgot the words more than once , you can even see me shake my head when I realize I can't remember words to a song that's 45 years old lol, but about the setting. I'm far enough away from civilization (Northern Ontario) that there isn't even cell phone service available. This is where I parked my 30' travel trailer for the summer! Rock On! Fish On! Ramble uhhhh how's that go again? Oh ya Ramble On! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Nice job, Aero, I enjoyed it. You kinda sound like Dave Matthews, I really liked the vocal... And that SJ (rosewood?) sounds terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I guess the epi fooled me! It's a good-sounding strummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I too liked it and was really surprised with your vocals, great job. Let me ask you a question please. What tabs and or sheet music did you use to learn it?? I really liked your performance, I dont think I would have the balls to take any of my Gibson's camping.

BirdMan81 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Awesome job man! I bought my Epiphone hummingbird for camping and beating around with. That EJ sounds pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Yeah, the guitar sounds pretty sweet. At first I look I thought it was a J200. Sounded real good. And I agree with the comment about Dave Matthews. I do hear a similarity in your voice. [thumbup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What tabs and or sheet music did you use to learn it?? I really liked your performance, I dont think I would have the balls to take any of my Gibson's camping. I didn't really use tabs or sheet music but I learned a version of this from my brother who plays the opening E & D chords using an open A chord position barred at the 7th fret then releasing to the 5th fret still using the open A chord positioning.But I found I liked the sound and power of the open E chord played in the 13th fret with the low E string open and sliding everything down to the D chord 2 frets back for the intro. Then into the 3 fingered A chord at the 5 th fret letting all the open strings ringing. I hope that makes sense. I don't have the balls to take my Gibson camping either especially since I dropped the guitar trying to move my chair with the guitar sitting in it. It fell from about 4 feet and was going to land headstock first but I stuck my foot out and it spun the guitar so it landed on the back of the upper bout. Still a sickening feeling as everything goes into slow motion as its tumbling towards the rock. I wiped the visible scratch that I could see and immediately retuned the guitar and started playing so I think I might pull it out of the case now and examine possible damage more closely. I didn't want to ruin my trip by discovering a crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usernameinvalid Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Nice Job. Looks like a great place to spend the summer. Never seen anyone use Led Zeppelin as bate before You must be fishing for Rock Fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatbaroque Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 That was great.Loved seeing the wilderness. Hope the bears and salmon applauded.I've heard the bears can be a tough gig! A guy at work used to get some monthly magazine that Martin put out.It had a section where people played their Martin Backpacker guitars out in nature. I've got one of those guitars.I might throw it in a volcano one day.Not a favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still see the snow in the background near the culvert. A buddy of mine has a backpacker and I thought he should packer up and sender back! Lol. Expect to see more footage as the summer progresses. I know this is a guitar forum but I can't resist posting this one fishing video from the weekend.

BluesKing777 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Fantastic! Hope Dancing Bear don't get the geetar. And the only trouble with having a beater guitar for camping is the possibility of a crook stealing your Gibson from home while you fish. BluesKing777.
