uncle fester Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Folks it's a little quiet around here, so hoping some targeted background noise would be welcome. There's some talented folks here, some folks here with nice collections, and some talented folks with nice collections... I know people are playing. Whose playing what on what guitars right now? Me - guitar, J45...(my super sweet, doubly awesome cool, jealousy inducing J45) Songs: Johnny Cash - Gods gonna cut you down Eurythmics - Sweet things Take me out t the ballgame Box Tops - The letter (gulp) Original - This quirky look -------------- Anyone?

Stranger's Almanac is probably my favourite album of that '90s Alt. Country movement, barely a weak five minutes on the whole thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 S. Stills on my re-necked CW 66, which I have managed to get down to reeeeaal low action. Among other things by some rather serious and in this temple new fret-sanding. Also do Lanena and Hickory Wind, which both are so easy they work good as rehearsals for finer nuanced flatpicking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Thank you all, fun to read through the thread. Some good stuff up there, and I got introduced to a few new things. In the words of tpbii - keep pickin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I am usually working on a few things at the same time. I like to add a few tunes a month to the solo set, just to keep it fresh and keep that list growing. notably, an Amos Lee song, which was inspired by one of the vids posted in this forum. For that mostly the J200, but if the Grand Symphony, or my '78 Yari DY74 are looking for some air time, I'll pull those out too. Also been working on some instrumental arrangement for a few songs that I've been asked to do for a few performances I will be doing over the next few months. those are best done on a nylon string. so my Taylor 514NY for those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Interesting question in that I really never think about it. I am stull running to my 1932 L-1 a whole lot. First, it is my most recent acquisition. Second, the 1 3/4" nut and 2 5/16" string spread at the bridge remain my idea of a slice of guitar heaven. I seem to have been on an Open D tuning binge as of late. Although some were obviously not originally recorded in Open D it works real well for me. Tommy Johnson - Big Road Blues Stones - Factory Girl & Prodigal Son As to others in standard tuning I seem to be playing a lot: Blind Blake - West Coast Blues Rev. Gary Davis- Cincinnati Flow Rag Josh White - One Meatball And to make my wife happy (who always complains I tend to play stuff others have never heard making it tougher for them to join in) Traveling Wilburys - Handle With Care Tom Petty - Louisiana Rain Steve Earle - Copperhead Road Edited July 17, 2019 by zombywoof 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docr Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 When I´m back home: - Fairground Attraction - "Perfect" - Willin´, Comfortably Numb, You´ve Got A Friend and "Walkin In Memphis" which does not work in the band. We have a very good piano player, but Marc Cohn built in some tricky syncopated parts where the "1" shifts to "4+" or vice versa and it is hard to catch the singer and the drummer, even if this song sounds correct if you play it alone on guitar. Needed the songs for a jam session / open stage. Guitars: Maple AJ, Humminbird and a D28 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
