Jalex Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Following on from Sals sweet fingerpicking demo of his new Hbird TV. I thought I would try this fingerstyle piece I learned years ago, capo at the second fret. I'm still using my cellphone so apologies for the quality. I hope it shows a little bit of how the bird sounds sweet when played fingerstyle. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qi6x0nDdZsI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Get out of town. That was beautiful. Mucho metro' on a Hummingbird. Matt C from Eddie's Guitars could do no finer. And to complete the scene, cat sighting at t = 19s. We should take up a collection to get you mic'ed up; but that smart phone will do just fine for now.

E-minor7 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Beautiful ✧ makes me hover in tranquility , , , and confirms the acoustic guitar shall save this earth Sounds as if you're already in symbiosis.

Jalex Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Thanks guys, it's my birthday on Sunday and my better half is going to get me a mic as a present.

MorrisrownSal Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Jalex. Beautiful man. Great transitions too. We are lucky if you post more. I cant believe that guitar is 50 years old either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalex Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Thanks Sal, by the way Sal I was looking through the AGF Show & Tell the other day and I came across your cover of Silver Eagle, sounded great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse_Dylan Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 That's lovely!!! Guess I have to admit that your true vintage (literally, not the model designation) might sound just as good as my fake Vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafy31 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Nice playing! And the sound of your hummingbird is beautiful One of the best sounding hummingbird i've seen here. What strings do you use by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroAussie Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Yes, that was just delicious. Very articulate for a Hummingbird but still with that rounded sweetness of a Humminbird. Some tasty picking also, loved the harmonic at the end. You have a lovely guitar there mister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Beautifully played. Golden guitar tone. 'Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 That was gorgeous. Both the piece you played and the guitar. Very articulate, and I love that in a guitar. Dare I say, sounds a little James Taylor-esque. It reminds me of those chord arpeggios he plays as an intro to Fire and Rain. I thought I heard a little Em9 chord in there. Anyway, I really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidblast Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 you need to get a "real" recording of that. It's beautiful. What is it? is it played in standard tuning? (I do a lot of this kind of playing, It's right up my alley) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalex Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Standard tuning, capo at second fret. It was called "harping on the guitar" I dont remember where I learned it from. I just figured out from memory how to play it. Chords are fairly simple, its the letting notes ring and quick chord changes that make it a little tricky.

Mafy31 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Thank you Jalex for sharing the title. I found something about it on internet, looks like it is called "Harp strings" and it is from Roger Hudson. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
