Wonderful links both of you.

Socks-thanks for the tune-surf"s up dude

Kathy --you mentioned you were interested in banjo.

Here is some of the finest picking I have ever heard.

This evokes memories of sitting on the front porch swing,

somewhere down south, where *important* matters, have a different definition.

Life in the "slow lane". Hard day at work, peaceful relaxing after.

No worries, just a banjo in the lap, picking music,

and to heck with the rest of the world.

Click on ROCK THE CRADLE, JOE.

If I could pick banjo like this -- I'd die a very happy man.

This is as smooth as I've seen it get. :)

Konichiwa happy people!

You're very welcome, polar bear!

dmiiller, that's some nice stuff, thank you for the listen.

I saw Don Alder perform couple years ago at the Luthiers show in Wndsor, CA, Luther Burbank Center. He's got some videos that have been put up in YouTube - Here's a

This one is him playing a 'harp guitar' -

Fantastic!! If a man could look at ease playing he has nailed it also. Smooth is an apt word to describe his playing. Thank you, thank you!!!

Socksman,

He looks like he's making love to that harp guitar (not meant as a rude thing I trust you know) and gosh to have long fingers like that. I envy folks that can just put their whole hand across the neck like that.

[dmiller]

Glad you liked the banjo "showcase" there!

Hey --- on the OTHER END OF THE SPECTRUM ---

Have you ever really tried to get those licks and riffs perfect while practicing,

and while you seemed to be hitting all the right notes, something wasn't right??

Perhaps your guitar is embarassed by the chair you've chosen to sit in.

What instrument wants to be seen, as it's owner picks from a tacky folding chair?

Or from one of those *restaurant chairs", with the chome frame and naugahyde seats?

Well ---FRET NO MORE! You can *ROCK* your riffs in style now. :B)

PICK-N-GLIDER has the answer to your *Blues*.

You can now own a rocking chair, that any guitar would be proud to be associated with.

Designed in mind -- for both the picker and instrument alike.

If the guitar ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!

Pick-n-glider will have you rocking and rolling, in style.

(Remember -- If you're not movin', you're not groovin'!)

:D :D :D

Now what will they think of next. :)

Why don't we come up with these ideas and get rich like other folks?

[dmiller]

Personally --- I want one of THESE!!!!!.

Imagine -- a 360 *view* of the jam -- sitting there in comfort!

No more craning your neck, to see who's playing what, at any given time!!

If you are ready for the ultimate playing experience in both movement and comfort, it's time to move up to the Pick-n-Glider Plus. The Swivel-Glide action is totally unique and as far as we know, there is nothing else like it. Not only does it glide, but it also swivels 360 degrees giving you the ultimate movement and control while playing your instrument. This complete and total freedom of movement while playing your instrument is a truly liberating experience. Of course, it is made from the finest materials like our Original Pick-n-Glider.

:lol:

Of the next page which I'm dreading,

I've got that Top o' de page blues.

I fail to see post numbers,

[socks]

Gentleman, start your pages...

[dmiller]

As in Jimmy Paige's???? :P

[ChattyKathy]

So like I quoted myself there.

I can't get that song out of my mind now David. :)

[socks]

Taken care of Chatty!

Whoa....hmm. Won't be too many more tops and bottms before this thread will hit 2,000 posts! Whoo hoo!

From beyond the grave!

Any of you guys or gals ever listen to Chris Duarte? He's coming to Lincoln in 2 weeks.

[ChattyKathy]

I will have to listen to him from home and see if I do or not, I swear names fail me more and more. :unsure:

And socksman....I can only wish upon a star that I will be the 2000 poster NOT on top of the page. :)

[A la prochaine]

Hey...

I wanna be on the top of page 100...

please please please!

POOP <_<

double poop :(

A la, you're going to stop fiddling around? Really?

ho ho hawuhaaaa!

Christ Duarte yes! He's good, Oaks, I haven't seen him live though. Like the music.

For some scarey Roy, GIVE THIS A LISTEN

Roy's checking out what appears to be a signature series Telecaster - it looks unrehearsed, standard Buchanan M.O.

There's a keyboard and percussion backup.

The intro/opening is long while they get set up and plugged in. The first guitar and tambourine (????) piece is soft of odd.

The second piece is cool.

Of note I thought is that Roy's single note blues/rock style is completely intact and presented, off the cuff on a new guitar that hasn't gotten broken in or Buchananized in any way. He does all of his sounds and techniques in that style for the camera, one take. And he goes 'outside' in spots too, wanders a little and pushes things around the way he does.

[waysider]

I remember hearing Roy B. on a TV special in about the mid 60's.

He was completely unbelievable even back then.

I was never too keen on "shredders"(Yu know, you give them a sheet of music and they run it through a shredder and sight-read what comes out the other side.)

But Roy was different. He could put a lot of heart and raw emotion into it that transcended technique. Some people work at playing outside "the box". In Roys' case, the box had a hard time trying to hold him in.

Anybody notice the reversed headstock in dmillers' post?

I saw that Fender has just released a limited edition "60's Reverse Special Strat".

If I really believed it would improve my playing I might just spring for one.

I think I'll save my money and just keep practising.

[ChattyKathy]

This one I really dug! Roy Buchanan doing Roy's Blues.

[dmiller]

Kathy -- Nice clip!

What's a reversed headstock???

I'm no expert on electric instruments,

but those looked *normal* to me.

I musta missed something there.

Go thou and repent.

For those that seek high places, shall be laid low.

If ye seek a place at the head of the table (errr -- page),

[ChattyKathy]

I will help get it closer for you okeedokee.

socksman,

You could teach a class on how to be completely delightful!

dmiller,

I think you must be a fine musician just from your tastes alone.
