blindboygrunt Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 While I've been playing the Martin a lot lately, I felt a pang of guilt for the Gibson and took it out of it's case. Like an old friend coming home , so I played a song about not ever coming home. Hope y'all like it . but you can criticise if ya like. I have thick skin. Have a nice weekend folks
flatbaroque Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 All round great performance.One of your best.Super sounding picking , spot on vocal feeling. Drathbun will be proud! .And as a supposed Bob fan...i didn't know that song.It's a cracker.
AnneS Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Two things always happen when I click through: I listen more than once and I make someone else listen, too. No exception here. Really like this-nice, nice...and thanks. But if you just got to be roughed up a little- geez, find a fret for that last harmonic and stick with it already! Whassamatter with you?!? ;-)
fortyearspickn Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 BBG, Really great. Music is all about variety, subject to the subjectivity of different peoples tastes and preferences - but, to me - this was what I would aspire to, if I could play or sing half as well. Outstanding job! And, great song selection. The J45 sure does it all, sounds like it was made just to be fingerpicked. Thanks for posting. Jim
MorrisrownSal Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Brilliant. Who is the song by? Yours? Truly mesmerizing; I got lost in it. How lucky we are to be able to punctuate discussions about specs of our favorite guitars with music by you, Anne, the Aussie with paint on his shirt, and so many others. Love this forum.
blindboygrunt Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 Mine ? Ha , I wish. Its a Dylan song. Only ever released on that bootleg series. Was recently used on the inside llewyn Davis movie . always loved it. Open D tuning with capo on third , whatever that makes it , E sharp I guess ? Thanks for kind words people , Anne , I couldn't work out where the 12th fret was . was adlibbing , that'll teach me. Finish on a flub , can't beat it :)
E-minor7 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 This very good - where are you gigging tonite bbg. I'll be there with a bottle of dark ale, , , and a harmony in the encore . . Never knew the tune ^
blindboygrunt Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 No gig tonight em7 , but I'll have a drink with ya anyday
duluthdan Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Great sound out of that j-45, just fabulous. criticism : Plaid shirt for Neil Young songs, for Dylan today ought to be wearing black. And a hat.
MissouriPicker Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 BlindBoy, not a damn thing I can add to the compliments already given. I love hearing your performances. You're kind of like the ideal coffeehouse singer. Really good, man.
bayoubengal1954 Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Great job! And I liked that you picked a more obscure Dylan tune.
BluesKing777 Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Mine ? Ha , I wish. Its a Dylan song. Only ever released on that bootleg series.

Thanks for kind words people , Anne , I couldn't work out where the 12th fret was . was adlibbing , that'll teach me. Finish on a flub , can't beat it :) Nicely done, BBG! I really like your version - the version in the movie was used in a cynical manner because LD was staying true to his roots while the merry trio were being merry for the turtleneck crowd! The melody in the movie tune, can't say I know the name of the real performers if it wasn't the actors, was a lot stricter in the chorus than yours, but I thought that made theirs sound a bit daggy like some things my old man bought at Kmart - 20 Hot Folky Hits featuring Wally Waller or ...you know. No critique, just enjoyed the rolling along feel you gave it. Though the capo is on crooked and Tony Rice gets annoyed if it isn't dead straight right on the fret...... BluesKing777.
livemusic Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 That sounds fab. You have a cool voice and your guitar sounds great. Is that a standard J45 or other? I didn't know the song, will investigate, Bob is the man.
blindboygrunt Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks . Livemusic , its a historic j45. White tuners and an orange label sets it apart from standards as far as I know.
58 Relic Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Great song and playing and that 45 sounds spot on
Fullmental Alpinist Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 BBG: Wow. That floored me. The best I've heard from you. You're really developing into quite a musician. Vocals and picking were very nice. What's your secret? Sleeping with a ToneRite under your pillow? FMA
