E-minor7 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well, we know the song and we know the sound. But here let's enjoy this opportunity to really focus in hear the square shouldered 1964 Gibson Country & Western again. Fixed saddle in new bridge it seems to be - and dig that E-minor on 2:56 Ouhh, , , and we know the girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Yeah, Ive listened to this version many times while learning the track to sing with Mrs EA. Outstanding tone on that CW, actually this vid was one of the influencing factors in mmaking me buy a HB TV as I knew I would never get a similar tone out of my thicker braced, long scaled 69'er ... cool track also, so simple with just that little G / sus 4 variation.

j45nick Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Nice!......any way you look at it. Even my favorite form of Em7, which is always a chord to make you sit up and pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojorule Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 But if it makes her happy, why did she want a roundshoulder sunburst version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 And now we have the square shouldered sound thread established, here's another. 1964 Hummingbird ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmKmwiLTzyM&feature=relmfu Though I maximize the screen I just can't see the saddle right. Is it an adjustable ceramic ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 See, for me this guitar sounded nice, but again, I just dont find the Bird' to be that brilliant finger picker. It does that job, but a maple Jumbo or J-45 just works better for me. The notes have more of a sting to them. Would love to have heard that Bird' strummed ..... that would be something impressive I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Would love to have heard that Bird' strummed ..... As you wish, Sir. . . . Still wonder if it's the ceramic/silk'n'steel combo. Maybe not - this clip sounds slightly barbed wired. Have to say I really like the f-picking above. For the right tune ouh yes !

EuroAussie Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Aha .. hmm ... not so glazy is it ? More like my 69er than the HB TV. But looking at it I reckon its a long scale, which would have a huge influence on the tone, and the brighter / rockier voicing. As you wish, Sir. . . .

Should this be one, , , I doubt it. Can you with your only 40 years old eyes tell me what saddle we hear ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Can you with your only 40 years old eyes tell me what saddle we hear ? From here it looks like they put in a big chunk of bone and whacked it in what was possibly an adjustable saddle. They did the same with my 69er. But this is just a hunch, sort of difficult to quantify from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Never saw this one before. Great opportunity to zoom in on some 'Stones Bird'. ! Clip of Time Waits For Noone by Rolling Stones didn't work - pardon ! Hard to see as always, but isn't this a ceramic full size saddle. In that case the strings might be the then hip and often used silk'n'steels as the sound is rounded, not sharp. Coool tune if you ask me – even with the high E nonchalantly out of pitch. Anyone have a tickets for the new movie up 18th of October as I understand it. Will try and get mine tomorrow. . . This might do it - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I notice a little yellow lock on the address – not sure what it means, but maybe it can't be copied. The song was The Next Time We Say Goodbye (the official version, which is cleaned up). A tune from the It's Only Rock'n'Roll album, 1973 or something. Might find it yourself. Always good with a close-up listen to a vintage Bird. If not for the direct pleasure, then for the sonic archive between the ears. Here's another more blurred version - http://www.youtube.c...n&v=6KPIBBje8t8 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=6KPIBBje8t8[/media] Have to correct myself - this isn't a vintage Bird as it's only approx. 10 years old at the time - a 60's original Bird would be the right term.
