Is it me, or could Atkins always make it sound like five other instruments were playing with him when he just had one guitar!

It's not you! :)

[ChasUFarley]

y'all.... sorry my post above looks sloppy... I tried to edit it and now I can't... I'm not real crazy about this new forum and the lack of editing features.

Any of you guitar players into helping me with a lead track for a country style song I have written. Please pm me.

A Chet Atkins story

(Can't vouch for it's authenticity)

----------------------------------------------------

Chet was in the studio warming up to record and the engineer was listening

to him play in the control room. After a few minutes the engineer hit the

talk-back button and said to Chet..."man does that guitar ever sound good."

Chet stopped playing immediately, stood up and set the guitar in the chair

where he had been seated and said to the engineer "how does it sound now?"

Food for thought...

Any of you guys or gals familiar with Charlie Musselwhite, the harmonica player?

He has an amp for sale. It's an HG 30. That's a HarpGear amp set up specifically for harp. It's a 30W tube amp and has (2) 8" speakers.

He'll even autograph it if you want. If it sounds like something that interests you, shoot me a PM.

Charlie Musselwhite? Sure enough! He's something of a blues legend.

Here's my contribution from a stone cold virtuoso:

Goran Krivokapic - Bach Violin Sonata III Allegro Assai (arranged for guitar)

Outstanding performance.

:eusa_clap:

[TheEvan]

Outstanding performance.

:eusa_clap:

This performance is, if anything, more amazing. Here, Goran is doing a fabulous job of what must be the most difficult of all on guitar: bringing out the different lines of fugue with clarity and separation. Follow Bach's ingeneous chromatic inner lines as they move from the low to middle voices and finally the top voice.

Oops, can't figrue out how to embed a YouTube clip. The link works anyway.

Now it seems that even The Blues has the blues.

The San Francisco Blues Festival, the country's oldest running event of its kind, has canceled due to economic woes.

Happy belated birthday to Doc Watson. Yesterday (March 2nd) he turned 86 years old, and is still inspiring generations of pickers. :B)

[dmiller]

And --- happy birthday to multi-instrumentalist Norman Blake. He turns 71 today, March 10th.

Anybody ever hear BB King play rhythm?

A lot of people have speculated that he can't play chords.

Here is a rare clip that dispels that myth.

I don't know if this has been posted before but this kid is amazing!

[dmiller]

Saw that Dan Seals passed away (wayyyy too young), and realized after watching videos of him --- he picked left-handed.

Plus --- the videos I saw showed him playing a 12-string guitar, with two pick guards. (One upper, and one lower).

I'm a big fan of NO pick guards on acoustic instruments. They're a d@mn nuisance, and impede the sound of the wood. (Just my imo).

Here's a pic of my 1968 Martin D-35 (sans pick guard):

The pick guard is gone (I took it off 2 or 3 decades go), and the sound improved DRAMATICALLY once it was gone.

I guess it is all about *show biz* to have two on the guitar while on stage, eh? <_<

Don't mind me. Merely trying to get this back to Guitar Talk, without YouTube videos.

But -- I might as well try to tell twi to teach accurate doctrine, eh??

Might get the same response from them too.

Wow, sorry dmiller. This was my first post here in about 6 months. I thought it pertinent to the thread as, it WAS a video about an 8 year old GUITAR player.

Hey there Rick. Sorry if I offended you by my post. I certainly DID NOT mean to, and I apologize if I did. :)

Somewhere back (many pages ago in this thread) there was a discussion going on about how this thread turned into a you tube posting of people playing guitars, rather than talking about ax's, amps, strings, and anything pertinent to picking the guitar. Some of us felt that the instrument (and all it's *accessories*) were being passed over and forgotten about, while the pickers thereof were becoming the limelight instead. I'm as guilty as the next person of posting you tube stuff here on this thread, since that has now become the "norm". The part of my post that said:

Was directed towards myself as well as the thread in general. This thread has gravitated from guitars, to guitar pickers.

Besides -- I was (mostly) making comments about Dan Seal's guitar, and not about Quinn Sullivan (and I agree he is an amazing picker)!

I couldn't tell you what I was doing when I was eight years old, but it CERTAINLY wasn't anything like Quinn!

Thanks for sharing that video. I'm not a real big fan of the blues, but I'm a huge fan of talent - - - especially in youth. :)
