Posted 6 Oct 2008 10:18 am GREAT LITTLE INSTRUMENTAL Doug! |
|
Was that tune just something you tossed together, or does it have a NAME?
Nice sounding little guitar.........and great musicianship! Open and fretted tones are right on and the harmonics sound crisp and clear. How much are you asking?
Anyone interested can hear more of the C6th/A7th tuning and the many variations of the chord structure it offers by listening to the several tunes post on JERRY's MUSIC page at the JerryByrd-FanClub.com web site. Pay special attention to the tune: "I Wonder Who We Think We're Foolin'" He slips that A7th roll in during the bridge. WOW!
What amazes me, is: Let's say you've played a phrase and you end up on the second fret or D chord and you still need a couple more lower notes. Merely by going up about four frets and on the lower strings you can usually complete 'that phrase' and by moving your right hand slightly closer to the pickup, it sounds like those last notes are clear down in the bottom of a deep, deep well.
A great tuning with lots of versatility for the six string user. It can't be played like the pedal steel C6th as it's a different bird (BYRD). |

Doug, I haven't listened to it yet as I'm on a very old computer, but I will the first chance I get.
I'm always glad to hear other people use this tuning. I learned it from Kayton Roberts and I would be lost without it. It is my "bread and butter" tuning and with the bass A string (on the eight string version) the A7 side of it is addictive!
Huckleberry Boogie by Zeb Turner is one of my favorite Jerry Byrd solos where he plays C6/A7 with a lot of it being on the A7 side. |

Many thanks for your kind words...........
I surely do appreciate it.
The song you did........was neat!
Can you help some of the other guys here.......
They can't get the music to play for them AND,
they don't want to Active-X it.
I don't even know what they're talkin' about.
An aftertho't:
What combo's do you use for that rhythm track. It's really great! I can't seem to find that combo.
Lot's of good Zeb Turner/Zeke Turner kind of rhythm.
"Huckleberry Boogie"...........WOW!

Great job, Doug. Nice tune! I especially like the hammer-ons and pull-offs, and of course, the harmonics are sweet. Hope you're doing well.

| Doug, I'd bet you could make an ironing board with broom strings sound good. Really great touch and feel. Besides, when else do guitar players ever get to play in Db? |

Doug,
I find it hard to believe if anyone other than you, could get that tone on the nonpedal steel. A very professional sound, combined with the excellence of accurate fretting. Don't stop now! |

You have a great right hand for this style of playing. People think that it's all left hand with the hammer-ons etc, but the right hand pick blocking that you are doing makes it so clean. Super playing and recording.

I think you can figure on that little swing tune being stolen and used
on iPods demo . remember the tune " 10 miles east of Jones " that was
worked up here on the Forum ?
Your tune is so brilliant - catchy - very ! very ! well done . Thanks for posting it .
