Jerry K Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 It's flashy but largely blues cliches and memorized licks. Um, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Allen Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I checked that out some time back. If it's all cliche, he sure is delivering it with energy. I thought it was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWilson Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 What the heck is he playing? If I had his guitar I could probably play that but I tried it on all of mine and, nope, can't do it!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 I think he is playing an old Stella....note the volume or tone knob on the face....plus a big plate and pickup chord out the bottom......let's assume it HAS been altered from the original.....What I like is he mixes acoustic style with electric style, and he won the competition.....pretty unique from the rest of the wannabes......

Rambler Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Yes. (ok, its a relief, I suppose from various forms of blues shredding. But at the end of the day, another loud white guy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermionik Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Yup - I can. 1974 Harmony H6365 'hog Grand Concert fitted with a seventies Bill Lawrence sound-hole electric pup (the one before his 'A-series') into the Bassman (attenuated 12dB) into a 4x12 does it - but you have to stand off-side to avoid feedback. Can nail it as well with something like a BigMuffPi set just so to allow the amp to be turned down. And as others have said - the chops may well be cliches, but what a gas to play..... .....though I prefer just a tad more subtle these days (think..... Ry Cooder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Been done. Jim (?) Schwall in the Seigal (?)-Schwall Band. Robbie Roberston behind Dylan for the Guthrie Tribute gig. Heck, Lightnin Hopkins! And that's just off the top of my head, before coffee, even. Just checked the clip again, strikes me as very of the "Im baaaad" category. Blues is a feeling, not shredding--even retro shredding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipz14 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 He's enjoying playing - He's on stage - Kind of hard to improve on anight like that ... well unless you can get paid Playing cliches for an hour is a zillion times better than working a day job - Then again listening to them may not be as much fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always_Black Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I usually reserve that run for when I try out new Gibby's at GC. Other than that, I usually stay at home and just strum a few chords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
