Buc McMaster Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Those of a certain age will well remember the sounds of the 60s that came out of Berry Gordy's studio in Detroit. This particular tune, written by Smokey Robinson and recorded in 1967 by the Marvelettes, has always been a favorite of mine though it was not a major hit. Sorry.........no harmonica riffs and a rather sketchy vocal as I work toward better days with the J-185......and my voice. Guitar sounds better to me lately.........still some tweaking to do yet. And so, without further ado............. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philfish Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Nice song choice, those Motown memory's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhanners623 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Excellent job! I always thought some Motown songs get cast in a whole different light solo acoustic, and you’ve nailed that vibe here. And, yeah, the guitar sounds really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Great song choice, singing and playing. You've obviously not lost your 'acoustic touch'. Both hands doing what they need to without thinking about it !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's certainly the goal.........takes beaucoup repetitions to get there! Thanks, folks. I haven't been singing much at all for the last few years and it's a perishable skill..............use it or lose it........perhaps the confidence will return in time, perhaps not as physical limitations creep in. I am very pleased with the guitar. It's more than 20 years old and pretty much settled into what it's going to be..........feeling quite lucky that I landed this one. The t-rod needed about one full turn (over the course of a few days) to get the relief where I like it. The original bone saddle is about right as is but still I will experiment there. Waiting on a set of bone pins from Colosi to replace the wooden set..........I'm thinking this might brighten the guitar just a bit. For now it's strung with Mangan .012 hex core p-bronze but I have a set of DR Sunbeams (round core) for the new pin set. Patience, grasshopper. Thanks for listening............it's good to be back!
