mountainpicker Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 It's not often that you can find Ry Cooder playing a Gibson: I've always liked this short piece. Mark O'Connor playing the fiddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Glad to see you were only half not pulling our leg on that one, and after some Jim Hensonism, we were treated to some good playing. And if you weren't distracted by the fiddle/violinist, there was some nice slide being played on a great beat black 30's 12 fret burst.(Ry on a Roy?)

EuroAussie Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 And this folks, is a great demo why you really need a pickguard on a a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Translate for us North Americans, please. Wellie is a Wellington Boot for chasing horses in the mud. Then..Putting the boot in, old chap... So giving the guitar some Wellie is flogging that guitar hard - scratches and bare patches! BluesKing777.

j45nick Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 And this folks, is a great demo why you really need a pickguard on a a guitar. If that's a Smeck, it would originally have had the 30's-style pickguard, and the top of the guitar would have been bare (no finish) underneath that. It's hard to know how much of that "damaged" look on Ry Cooder's guitar is really damage, and how much is bare wood where the pickguard would have been. But I agree with you, in any case. Not a big fan of the "Trigger" look for any guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickthemiller Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Translate for us North Americans, please. There's a great new phrase for you to use on all appropriate occasions and astound your friends with your grasp of English - So whenever you wish to put some emphasis into a remark about encouraging someone to put in some more effort - shout "give it some wellie mate" Kudos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
