charlie brown Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Great playing, as usual. Still wish EC's "tone" was a bit "fatter," on the first video. I like his/that "Strat tone," on "Got To Get Better," though. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the answer is so simple, all he has to do is play a Gibson instead :P :) (it only sounds better in the second vid cos theres no Gibson to compete with :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh. m Well, I think he just finally decided NOT to dye his hair?! Kinda wish McCartney would make that same decision. His hair doesn't match the age of his face, at all, anymore. They've earned every gray hair they have! Nothing wrong with that. IMHO... Besides, it adds to EC's "Bluesman" credibility...as if he needed that?!

L5Larry Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 And does something tell me from this video that theres a Derek Trucks signature goldtop coming :) That looked like Duane's '57 that Derek was playing. The current owner has been making a big deal (and rightly so) about taking it around for people to play. There has been a good bit of press about this, give it a Google.

milod Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Well... as my Mom used to say, she earned every one of her gray hairs, but she by-golly didn't deserve 'em. My two brothers both claim I got the family's good hair genes. Meanwhile across the street from my workplace, the barbers live in constant terror over the threat of physical violence I made when they used a mirror to show me the back of my head and it's growing (or not-growing) monk-like tonsure. Okay, maybe they're not that scared. But... they did stop using that @#$%@#$ mirror. <grin> Too many factors play into the creases, though. As for the dye... my Mother's dad had dark hair up until his mid 80s... @#$%@#$% m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Not for another year and a half or so. Neither one of us is quite dead yet. Or ready to quit pickin'. <chortle> Hey, we ain't at 70 either - and if we were... what the heck. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markini Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I like Derek, but in the 1st song he had a tendency to over play the lead lines, sometimes over the vocals. That's a no no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Yeah, I've always said, that on some of EC's songs/music, the "Strat" is absolutely the right instrument, tone, etc. On other's though, it's always seemed "too thin," to me, for just those particular songs. Now, I'm quite sure, part of that, is him (now) playing songs, on his Strat, that were originally played, and recorded with Gibson/Marshall setups, or even Gibson/Fender (Dual Showman, twin reverb, etc.) setups. And, maybe more to the point, that "I/We" got used to those heavier, fatter, tones? Maybe, it's even the 25 db "boost" circuit, that's the main culprit??? When he plays the Strat, cleaner, and "ballsier," too...I don't have much objection. But, his "boost" circuit just leaves a lot to be desired, overdive wise....IMHO. And, really, my opinion is all this is. Valid or not. But, I love EC's playing, and his original music, as well! Always have, always will!
