ScottM65 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) I’m a new Gibson owner after a nearly 30 year hiatus. Recent purchase of cherry ES335 got me back in the game. I’m a retired college professor, now working part-time at Moore Guitars in southern Indiana. I still love studying guitar. Have had a few articles published over the years and keep a YouTube site of videos sharing what I’ve discovered. VERY happy to have a Gibson, again. Cheers!

jdgm Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Hi Scott and welcome You will find quite a few of us here are retired or near it....! To post pics - we all upload to any free image hosting site (imgur, postimage etc) and paste the direct link code into our posts - hope that makes sense. What sort of things are on your youtube then? Best wishes 🎸 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx-ogre Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Welcome aboard Scott. An ES-335 is always a good choice. If I could only keep one guitar, it would be my 335. Enjoy your stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My YouTube page It’s mostly quick clips of things geared toward my students. I also have begun studying pedal steel. My dad was a fantastic steel player, and I avoided that instrument for 55 years, because it was his thing. When he passed, something clicked, and I realized I was meant to learn how to play that unwieldy machine. You’ll see a few videos of that stuff. I do have one clip I did last week with the new 335. Not my best playing but it’s ok, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Scott That's a very nice version of "Scrapple" - nice and relaxed. I learned it in the high register around the 10th fret...having seen your version I am also going to get it down low. Regards 🎸 Edited April 3, 2023 by jdgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I discovered that it was easier to play some of the chords between phrases with the melody an octave lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have had a few articles published over the years and keep a YouTube site of videos sharing what I’ve discovered. Not much time is left for hobbies. However, some services, such as https://fixgerald.com/, can make my work much easier. I check my students' papers for plagiarism through this service and it is very fast. If you need to check a research paper (and not only) for plagiarism, I recommend this service! VERY happy to have a Gibson, again. Cheers! Scott Mercer Welcome to the forum! I'm very glad that there are such educated and nice people here! Edited June 6, 2023 by Erin_Jacob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
