I've added the song "New San Antonio Rose" by The Plainsmen w/Joaquino to the music player on my MySpace page. You can download it as well. I also have Sweet Georgia Brown up by the same group.
Joaquin's tone is so great and this recording captures it very well. You can almost feel Joaquin's speaker pushing air.

Posted 10 Dec 2007 7:09 pm Murphy single string work.................
|
|
I attended several of Jeff Newman's speed picking seminars, most anxious to acquire that lightening speed that so many of the Nashville types were displaying at guitar show after guitar show.
BUT, I feel most of that lightening speed picking, as we hear it today, is just so much blaw........
Murphys' playing had so much character...His single string work exhibited a lot of phrasing that is lacking this day and age. The way he'd hop in and out of a couple of fat chords, then back into the single string work is beyond description.
THANKS for sharing with us wanna-beeeeese. |

Great recordings, what tone, what phrasing, how can I acquire them?

P.S. There is some brief footage of Murph with Spade Cooley on Utube. Most of it at the end of the nine minute clip. Spade Cooley - King of Western Swing. |

| Murphey's solo on "SWEET GEORGIA BROWN" is an all-time classic. It wowed me when I first heard it back in the mid-forties and still blows me away ! If I'm correct, he used a 6 string lap steel .... (no pedals, knee levers, chin levers, multi-neck, et al). What a genius he was ! Incidently, years later he recorded another version, but this time on pedal guitar...it never rivalled this original take. |
