BluesKing777 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I did a few tracks with some slide on my 37 Gibson L-0. The guitar is a bit schizophrenic - great for ballads and standard tuning blues, but then I put it in Open G tuning and played some slide and well......that's what they are all about. Sensational! I kept playing and then did some recording and only came up for air because it occurred to me that I was....Hungry! I had a quick go at Robert Johnson's "Terraplane Blues" - Cars, Guitars, Bottleneck etc all in one tune: https://soundcloud.c.../terraplane777b BluesKIng777.

BluesKing777 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hey BK , can you get an app that adds scratches from vinyl ? That's all is missing. Ha Ha! You can you know! It is on the Video Production tools in Final Cut - you can make a video look like 50s B&W TV with scratchy sound! BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 . I bet you are soooo glad you popped on that little killer. . . I am, I am! I have been looking at all the sites and the prices for a nice L-00 or L-0 have been steadily climbing as long as I have been looking! (Like houses in a rising market - you may as well buy instead of thinking too long, or....) That is why I originally bought my Blues King. Whoever took the Gibson logo off and stripped the black finish must have had a real good reason to lose money! The English would call them, among other names, a "Silly Sausage". So I have a guitar that sounds the goods, but looks a bit ridiculous, except it didn't cost very much in the scheme of things. I am already gassing, perhaps even more now, for an L-00 in original condition! The man can't be stopped, can he? Mad guitarist. How would ever explain to.....never mind? Oh Oh. Be happy with what ya got, sonny and all that! BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Just had another listen BK Wicked man !!!!!! ( that means cool by the way for any American cousins ;) ) You've been back for another bite! Thanks Del! Apart from the guitar, I am loving my A&H mixer with USB straight to the iMac. All EQ controls are flat and someone that knows what they are doing would be horrified at my settings, I am sure, but it shows what a good little mixer it is - just my Shure SM57 on the guitar. Mixer was about $(Aust) 400 on special and the mic I have had since they were invented, but new are very reasonable $120.... I am going to glue all the setting with superglue - I like things the way they are. I thought I would mention it in case you are looking for a nice unit - in theory you could use the same arrangement live with the addition of a powered speaker. Mine is staying exactly where it is - superglued to the desk and iMac......... BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesKing777 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 I was thinking my 37 Gibson L-0 needs a name! An old warhorse like this one needs a name and the original owner of most of it's life probably has one, but I didn't get it. The previous owner probably had a real good name for it when he hit those 5 really bitey frets! Any ideas? I was thinking "Georgia"...... BluesKing777.

Rambler Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Tone with a capitol "T". That things moans when you lay in with the slide. And you are making the jump from folksinger to bluesinger, if you get my drift. Sail on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
