MisterGibs Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 After few hours I'll have a live concert with M-R GIBS on stage. This will be an acoustic singer-songwriter's concert. M-R GIBS has a new "Martin 12-54" set of strings, we practiced a lot and we are ready. We will perform about 13 songs together with him and two more with my classical "Quintana". I'll post pictures and video when I can. Whish us luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilliangirl Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 M-R GIBS, you and your very skilled friend Krasi will WOW the audience tonight.

Have a wonderful time and we'll be waiting to hear the update. :(/ ](*,)/ =P~/ =P~/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterGibs Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Well, The concert was good in general. This was a singer-songwriter concert in a small (about 60 seats) hall of a local library in Sofia. This hall has a stage and a perfect sound equippement. The vocal microphone was "Sure" middle class, and the audience were my friends. I sang 15 songs in the program and 2 more curtain call. 14 of the songs were mine, and one was of a friend of mine. The curtain call songs were songs of my friends. I sang basicly new songs that I made last year. I realised something during that concert. I sung before an audience of friends. All of them are connected with me somehow. All of them know me or know some sides of my personnality. Playing and singing before people that I know personally was "heavy" for me... All the time I was thinking:"...will he or she be pleased that I sing that song, will he or she hear my mistakes...." So I realised that it is better for me to sing before audience of unknown people. I was in a good shape. But M-R GIBS just nocked them out! I presented M-R GIBS. I needed to do that. Most of the audience knew what an instrument it is, but I had to do it "for the record". I told them that he is a fine guitar build in Bozeman Montana, and "born" on 06.02.2007. (according his serial #) And I told them that he is "one of the kind" several hundreds of miles arround because there is no such Gibson model in Bulgaria and in Romania. M-R GIBS was brilliant (as ever!). No buzz, perfect sound, great sustain, big-big bass, expressive middles, and ringing higs! It was a perfection that everibody noticed 100%. There was a friend of mine in the audience. He is a 48 years old man like me and he was one of my first teachers of guitar playing. He doesn't play no more and it is a pitty, 'cause he has a guitar-player and song-writer tallent 3 times bigger then mine... But he doesn't play anymore... So he told me that he was thinking during the show that this is the beginning and he is waiting for more from M-R GIBS in my hands. I am sure he is right. He is my friend and he knows me since 1975... There is another thing - all of my friends told me that there is a developpement in my songs, in my art after I have M-R GIBS at home. And that my new songs have a "modern" sound. And I believe it is the truth. Now it becomes difficult. Now I just have to work. Perfection is what I like the best, but perfection needs sacrifices.... Work, work, work. Well folks, I'll post pictures (as I told you when I can). And some video - when I can too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Player Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Nice Krasi.... I would have to agree with you that in a "concert" type setting I would almost rather play for strangers than friends, but my favorite times to play are when I am sitting around with a bunch of friends who know and love me... then I feel most at home with my guitars and playing. I don't look at that so much as a performance, but sharing my love of guitars and music with my friends. I am happy for both you and MR. Gibbs for having a great show!

MisterGibs Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yes TaylorPlayer That is the absolute truth. I love sitting beside friends and playing unplugged and play with someone elce. But this is too personal and fammiliar (allthough this is the best!). A concert is a concert. One shoud be "sharpen" for a concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterGibs Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Well folks, http://poetiskitara.com/archives/702#respond here is the audio recording from that concert. The pictures and the video will follow up. The singing is in bulgarian language and you will not get nothing of that.

MisterGibs Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 .. 3 minutes 30seconds of talking - man - I nearly gave up..... .....glad I didn't! Sweetest picking and fine voice work. :- . . Sorry-it was not me "the talker" but a friend of mine who "had to present me" (before all the people inthe room who know me quite well...) The other friend who made the audio recording and who posted it in his site should cut that talking, but he didn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drathbun Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Wow! Such a sweet sounding fingerstyle guitar. That is really beautiful. That is why I continue to play guitar... possibly, maybe, in the future, to play that beautifully! Very very well done! =D> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterGibs Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 You know, friends, I decided to buy a Gibson SJ 200 after I watched the film "August Rush" In that moovie a kid who did not play never, made wonders one morning on a SJ 200 cuttaway. But now when I have M-R GIBS I dont concider that this is a guitar for fingerstyle for me... I prefere to strum pretty strong on M-R GIBS and I think that this is his best voice. I play with fingers , but I don't feel much "at ease"... Thanks for the good words about my finger-playing, but wait untill my friend master-luthier Galin Penev(http://www.penev-guitars.com/news.php) finishes my new special custom fingerstyle guitar that he is building in that moment. It will be finished in january probably. Then you will see (and hear!). It will be 20 years old italian cedar top, indian rosewood back & sides and mahagony neck. All solid wood. I expect this guitar and then I will do my best fingrestyle on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
