twalker Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Just scored this guitar and having a ball with her. 3 tunes: 'Swing Bean' - an original 'Hey Good Looking' - my arrangement of the Hank Williams classic 'Toby's Boogie Woogie' - my original attempt and trying to imitate the great boogie woogie piano players.. namely Pete Johnson and Albert Ammons. Oh, can't leave out Honey Piazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Listening to those tunes is just what the doctor ordered on a dreary rainy morning stuck in the house with the kids and a dog who has to bark at every clap of thunder. Every time I listen to you I swear it sends me straight back to school. Funny but I have been putzing around with Jorma's take on "Know You Rider" so have been watching some vids of him playing that tune on his J-50 (which after seeing him back in the day with the Airplane or Hot Tuna is the guitar I will always associate him with).

Smurfbird Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 That was both incredible beyond words and depressing as hell. I should take up listening to music full-time. That was nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twalker Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Thanks gang. I'm sure glad you enjoyed that. I'm having a GREAT time with this guitar. I've been gassing for one of these for a long time now. Finally found one that has a 1 3/4" inch neck. Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichG Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I am fortunate to know Toby for several years. My skills are probably less than half of the average guy or gal on this forum from what I've seen posted, yet when I get to jam with Toby, I feel like I'm actually good! He has the ability to bring people up rather than put them down. That's why he is such a good teacher. If you ever get a chance to see him in person, do not miss it. The music is great, but the whole show is better. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesKing777 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 That's it I quit So that's what a Gibson sounds like, Yes Ha ha! I thought the same thing, and I have some of Toby's lessons so not as shocked as you! Fantastic playing and a beautiful J50, Toby! BluesKing777.

Phelonious Ponk Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Followed that link to YouTube and listened. Awesome playing, of course, but I also listened to the Swing Bean video you made on the 44 LG-2 Banner. One question: That LG-2 is a re-issue, yes? Too clean for vintage. And one answer: Nice as that LG sounds, your thumb deserves the big bottom of the slope. Man. Wish I could do that! :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
