    INTRODUCE YOURSELF

    in Gibson Acoustic

    Posted

    Hello I am Kelly Campbell..I am new to the guitar world and trying to learn it has been a slow process and challenging to say the least but I have fun trying and will not give up...I also really enjoy listening to and watching people who can play. I own several guitars from some cheap ones to a few in the 1,000 to 2,000 dollar range. I just started lessons 8 months ago. I own some of each electric and acoustic..I enjoy the acoustics the most and my favorite brand is Gibson although I like them all. Please be patient if I ask some remedial questions now and then... [smile]

     

    Hey Kelly - What acoustic Gibsons do you play ?

    [thumbup] [thumbup] [thumbup] Double props for remembering all those lyrics ! What key was your harp?

     

    Had the lyrics on paper as I tend to screw up the last verse and didn't wan't burn out on several takes.

     

    The modified 1953 J-45 is tuned down a whole step so played in D-finger-position, the key is C.

     

    But the song starts with the chorus in G-position (which is an F)

     

    Harp doodles were done afterwards as I had no stative - think it must have been a C.

     

    Thanx Again ▲

    BRAVO. This is what you sound like unprepared?

     

    Well, well, weeeell, , , played that tune all my life, , , on and off - but the banjo and Fender Rhodes weren't prepared and I just said GO !

     

    Apart from that, thanx for the comments guys - and stay groovin'. . .

    It surely stands alone - a touching fine fine song.

     

    Must say I'd go for the cello. The role is well-arranged and top performed - is it the real thing ?

    You take it out in the beginning of the second verse, which is a good move.

    Could even be done in end of the first chorus after "I aim to please" and then reintroduced as done on "just now me and him" - maybe with the deep note on 1:20 in also, , , slightly dampened.

     

    Hey, what do I know - these were my 5 Yen.

     

    In or out, the tune is major .. .

    Thanks for the story and good to hear of another nice sounding Norlin.

    I would have guessed the tuners were changed, but . . . .

    Gibson used chrome ovals in 1966 - never seen them anywhere else. This 70'er might prove me wrong.

     

    Could we hear the guitar. . . ?

    Plastic Bridge on 1963 Gibson J-50

    Just because they are rare does not mean they are great.

     

    No - that wouldn't be my angle on it either, but a couple of people have spoken very positive about plastic bridges and I'm curious as the phenomenon so often gets slammed.

    We know that wood, bone etc. generally are the considered the strongest carriers of vibration - still my philosophy is that the most divine voice of an instrument is a matter of the right combination of components around the wooden box. Not neccesarily being the same as what is seen as the loudest or most effective materials.

    In essence a box can be helped too far by some components and thus be betrayed or pulled up in fx a boom, too heavy a bass or sharp trebs.

     

    For me finding that balanced combo is the clue.

     

    It takes more than 7 stars to make The Great Bear come clear in the sky - they gonna be positioned for each other too. . .

    Congratulations on that beauty & burst.

     

    Admit I have a weak spot for those neck/headstock paint-jobs, but never seen it on a Dove.

     

    Maybe it's connected to the general finish - hey man, this thing is RED.

     

    Please post sounds -

    Guitar tone is superb, , , ,

    Thank you ThemisS, I'll take that further to my luthier.

     

    Hey listened to your latest track a very signikant statement, sonically and expression-wise.

    Like your vox and the way you suspend some of those guitar notes.

    A bit daring (don't know the original), , , , and appreciated.

     

    I must check this branch of the Board more often.

     

    Tusq bridge pins, not too bad.......

    Why not just be aware bbg, your hearing might vary from day to day, , , and develope with the consciousness.

     

    Glad you sat that mark on the thread EA. Remembered your experience while writing the above and hoped you'ld add a word.

    I still need to try out the great return (talking H-bird). Think it'll happen when these newly put on Martin Marquis' fall down.
