| Sounds great Doug. Did you record this straight into your computer? Would you be so kind as to spell out your version of A6? |

One of the few songs I've heard in a long, long time, that was played in A6th.
Nice job........thanks for sharing. |

| That's just FINE! I really like the way you string the single note and harmonized parts of the melody together. Too often, I catch myself trying to do totally either/or, when a blend can be more pleasing to the ear. I've always meant to really work up my own version of this, and I love everything about yours. Thanks. |

Enjoyed very much. Good balance and great licks for what you are calling a rough recording. I'm impressed to hear this music so tastefully performed. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Posted 31 Dec 2013 5:34 pm Still more questions.................
|
|
Could you have played the song just as well without discussing the 'root' on top or on the bottom?
You played it quite nicely........ I still don't know what those musical terms mean. But, I keep on trying to play in an accurate and melodic way. |

| Doug, I'm glad you brought up the chord structure because I was wondering about that. I think you're playing the song in F and you chose the A6 tuning. I know you can play any key with any tuning but it's nice to hear your approach. You have rich-sounding chords. I really like it. |

Doug:
You are a wealth of information. Great tune and as always your arrangements and technique are inspiring. I may have to tune my Frankensteel to the A6 to experiment with

Doug, as always your music is always so tasty ! Great sound...before this one, my fav recording of this tune was with Buddy Charleton and Leon Rhodes with Texas Troubador band. Maybe you will include this with Vol3 when you do it I be you would do a great version of Little Coquette too...I vote for that one as well I am still having a great time with your Vol 1 and 2...nice work !

Doug:
The Ric has a very nice tone and inspires me to play. The Mesa Transatlantic 15 watt with a single 12 inch Tone Tubby speaker is a great match with the guitar and has the classic vibe you mentioned in another thread.
Also, I am going to post some sound samples and have a friend helping me. Old dogs & new tricks...*L*

Doug,
I agree with you about the tone on most Gibsons.
They usually sounded kind of "muddy".
Especially, after the Fenders came out.
Yours sounds great! |

My Gibson EH-150 had an old Telecaster pickup when I bought it. Years later, I replaced it with a Lollar CC but actually liked the tone and the string-to-string balance better with the previous, cosmetically-incorrect-but-better-sounding pickup.
Really nice playing on CC, Doug. A few years ago I arranged it in C6th trying to get the rough-edged, bluesy growl tone Earl Bostic used like on this classic jukebox version of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdaQAZjzhoA. It's a more flexible tune for different interpretations than I think it gets credit for. Come to think of it, Flamingo is a tune that would be very pretty in your playing style, Doug.
