sparquelito Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Very nice!! My nephew is a guitar player and band leader who lives and works just north of Boston. John has a real thing for Gillian Welsh, I can say that much. She's an interesting and soulful player and singer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Two of my favorites. What a wonderful, moody performance! People may laugh at this, but the feeling reminds me very much of CSN's "Guinnevere". Lest you think they are only about "Hard Times", they have a lighter side as well..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CUb4TuxN0w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 His guitar playing is just incredible. On a real part with Neil Young as far as feeling goes Their 'sweet tooth' song always cheers me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 As I watch this video - I am once again struck by how smooth the top seems on Gillian Welch's j-50. Has no crazing visible in any pf the youTube videos I've seen. Trick of the low res vids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 As I watch this video - I am once again struck by how smooth the top seems on Gillian Welch's j-50. Has no crazing visible in any pf the youTube videos I've seen. Trick of the low res vids? I searched photos, and couldn't find anything hi-res enough to say definitively. However, after looking at a lot of photos, I would say that the top is quite crazed, but no single photo is lighted from the right angle, or clear enough. I've never seen a J-50 go that dark without a lot of crazing. The guitar also has a thin celluloid pickguard which is warping, and the adjusters on the ceramic saddle are the knurled thumbscrew type, rather than the later small slothead screws. I would say the guitar is 1955-1959. And speaking of her guitars, catch a load of this one. With the first-position fretboard wear and the finish crazing, this is one old D-45. Don't know if it's borrowed or hers, and whether it's one of that original group of 90. If it is, that guitar is worth a quarter to a half million cool ones.

blindboygrunt Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Anyone who is worried about break angle over the saddle should have a look at her j50 I've seen tape holding her pick guard down , at least that's what I assumed it was there for She could do with a couple of big macs that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Grunt... Gorgeous. Listen to his guitar riffs 3:50 on. I got turned on to them a few years back (I think Revelator). Oh... And my J50 is almost as dark as hers. I'm happy about that. I love her sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 For those unfortunates who had never heard of this duo until recently----While they're known for folksy/rural/rootsy music, they can do pretty much any songs they like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
