Very nice, hope you got / get to play the b'jeeeezus out of her!

TY - I like that 6/5/1 thing.

I was thinking a good rule of thumb to live by is 'don't be a d1ck'... and figure another new years resolution for me is to work towards that philosophy and endeavor to surround myself with like minded people. All in an effort to create a zen like microcosmic bubble in which I exist reaching for harmony with the surroundings... spontaneously breaking into song on occasion.

Ah - I had missed that. Good choice and enjoy - I look forward to pictures and reviews.

I have Virtuoso as well, but not sure I like it or not. It cleans and shines it up very nice, but makes it super slippery to the point you have to beware if you're playing sitting down. It also puts a coat of something on a surface you want to be free to vibrate as best as possible. Although probably indistinguishable, just cleaning it how ZW mentions makes most sense to me.

Get a J45 (I say with a baked top) play it for a year and then decide if there's things you'd like to change. Might be... but I bet you'll bond with it. FYI - I'm from Boston area as well - not a plethora of Gibsons around to play so I'd probably order one from a reputable dealer (i.e. Wildwood, or Fullers if they carry gibson...)

Very nice Sal... with all that harmonizing going on, just wondering out loud if there's any CSN coming our way? Here's to a good 2020!

Hi All - Here's an acoustic version of Minnie the Moocher. The chords are Em, C, B. Right about 35 / 40 seconds through the first minute he throws in a bunch of little accent notes etc... Does anyone know what scale he's using or what key he's in to pick these notes out (not the typical blues minor scale). I'm picking up a lot by just watching the video... but figure that's just the fish, want to learn how to fish. Thanks for any input. brfm

Happy New Year all!

Very cool Nice! ...and what i'm playing Kryptonite - 3 doors down, Minnie the moocher - cab calloway

White album... or Abbey Road, maybe Revolver

Best Digger. Thoughts and prayers.

and here's to a 2020 with positive steps forward for everyone... acoustically 🙂

I think a martin and a gibson should be in ones stable, but both should be mahogany dreads. That is the foundation and then you build from there. With respect to guitars cutting through in a bluegrass jam... I'm by far no expert, but the only time I heard a guitar measure up to the banjos, mandolins and fiddles was watching Randy Scruggs and his aj, and even then when it goes from banjo to the guitar - the lead takes a step back. Give your ears a second to adjust and he's just plain awesome, but as good as the guitar is, it does not project as well. Maybe it's mic placement.

Here's my Daryl's House daily shout out (just kidding, just have time to surf a bit over the holidays - but do want to post things that strike a chord). I posted in the acoustic forum as well, but there's both acoustic and electric gibsony goodness so wanted to post here. This brought back waves of nostalgia for me, hope you enjoy! Gold Dust Woman

Was checking out daryl's house videos and came upon this -Gold Dust Woman. I know it's not Stevie Nicks, but these folks are feakin' good - definitely brought back waves of nostalgia for me, includes both acoustic and electric gibsony goodness and thought some folks on here might appreciate it. Enjoy 😉

Very cool - what color did you get? My Sunday plans, campfire with a little DADGAD till 1:00, then football (said 'fooooootballlll').

Wow, now is that 1.75 at the nut? If so I just found my next jones... and I was supposed to be done with electrics 😉

Happy NGD, that orange is very cool! I thought Fender were typ long scale?

Was just surfing you tube for Daryl's house videos and came upon this... just plain killer, with some Gibsony goodness. As an aside - going through the 'daryls house' videos - I think Daryl Hall's second life is better than his first!

Very nice, congrats - cool clip!

Very nice Sal, you sound good - the guitar sounds good. Happy tweaking with the scarlett ai, looking forward to what other types of magic you work!

Barton Hollow - the Civil Wars, I will survive - Gloria Gaynor

Pretty cool, will give him props - he got skills, but makes me go hmmm.... feels kinda like being really good at hacky sack

NICE!
