  1. What was the astoundingly good bourbon Dan ? And then back to the roy smeck......
  2. All ya hear is how good the pickups are in the matons If one came up for sale here I'd be tempted to check it out for my little gigs . But I'm yet to even see one in the flesh
  3. To each their own and all that , but this sort of thing baffles me ... Theres no lacquer on the inside of the guitar , so really how much does 'breathing' come into it . Guitar sounds good Guitar doesnt sound so good That's about it .... And, please , I mean no offence nor am I interested in an argument in anyway , just a little confused
  4. I know a lot of you are big fans of this guy ,
  5. You're not the first man to have to do that Friends guitar was the same At least it's an easy fix
  6. No , It sounds fantastic, but just get stuck on those bridges
  7. Its stuck inside of Mobile with the memphis blues , sheesh , back to school for some of you guys 🤣 Beautiful guitar that
  8. Thomson was here in ireland a couple weeks ago , hes on fire , hard to believe his age it really is Was solo show here zomby, same thing over there ?
  9. I cant read the article without creating an account for the NY times Is it available anywhere else to read ? Bug fan of Neil's, more acoustic but hes one of my favourite electric players , I like sloppy . It's all feel and emotion.... to me anyway . Down by the river is easily in my top ten solos ...
  10. Sounds very cool , my point , which perhaps I wasnt articulate about , was why some guys swear by a speaker rather than a pole/column system ... when the poles are designed specifically for solo acoustic performers. Does an amp have something over these pole/column/array systems that I dont know about ? Have you tried using a column system and didnt like it ?
  11. Good luck with the amp jinder Gave your latest tune a listen this morning as it popped up on my suggested spotify new releases, interesting tune . Heard ryan Adam's prisoner album in the 80's ish production and overall sound . Im wondering about your amp here though . Why do some artists choose an amp over the speaker array systems on poles, which is surely the most fitting solution for a guy like yourself who performs solo ? Is it a case of having it when the band is also playing? A best of both worlds scenario? I know I'm not at your level where people actually come and listen to you perform as opposed to me , sitting in the corner of a bar running through a few cover songs background to the drinking and chatting .... My Fishman soloamp is superb and I love it , but I'm just trying to learn things I may not be seeing due to my inexperience playing out . Good luck with the new songs
  12. https://www.npr.org/2019/08/07/748289553/david-crosby-the-lighthouse-band-tiny-desk-concert Not sure what I thought watching this , some nice guitars , but their version of Woodstock is great at the end And it has a j45 (and a lovely martin)
  13. Well spotted , fixed Phones are too clever , thinks it knows everything Also , just to clarify, I meant I play dylan doing moonshiner , not me Went down the dylan rabbithole about 15 years ago , maybe more , always liked him but was obsessed for a while , bootleg exchanges etc etc Read all the bios Amazing stuff , hes one of a kind
  14. Anyone who tells me dylan cant sing , and it happens from time to time I'll play them moonshineR and ask them to have a shot at it
  15. I played last night for the first time ever with no hat on A woman there had assumed I was bald all these years She said my hair was gorgeous 😏
  16. I must be missing the point here .... All I see is an ad for a Gibson stool which has been around forever 🤔
  17. Have a listen to Kenneth patingale from milk carton kids
  18. I seen a guy playing that song 6 or 7 years ago in a pub in donegal When i asked who wrote it he didnt know, or couldnt remember at the time I wanted to steal it Thanks for posting !! Fantastic song And I'm gonna steal it now
  19. Well , fair enough , if you've got to the point where you have 'stage lights' then I'll agree that you should , and probably have anyway, learned your songs completely and utterly It is possible to use a book / ipad / whatever without sitting staring at it the whole time , in fact it's possible to appear not to be using it at all . To just sit and read would be a little amateurish for sure My point is just that , there are plenty about who have full time jobs and families etc and yet enjoy entertaining at the weekend without the time to dedicate to learning 100's of songs inside out They shouldn't be made to feel they are in some way 'not doing it right' I've seen more musicians that were from unentertaining to downright rubbish and none of them had a songbook or an ipad And I've seen plenty that were great using their crutch Never, ever ever seen anyone sitting staring at their notes . Not once
  20. That's very definite I hope you're happy with your guitar I mean that with the utmost sincerity
  21. I hate this 'I never needed any help , I learned the songs before I gigged' stuff that arises every time someone asks about a songbook or an app A weeks wages say that when the electric guitar appeared there was a long line of people saying 'never needed one of those when i was gigging' Do your own thing and let others do theirs
