I went to school with chris, and I was a "big fish" in my high school as a bass player, but after seeing him play, I was saying to myself: "Well, I am pretty good with computers"! He's a badass! Good to see him thriving!

No, David Hood played a Jazz on everything. He could have used a P, but the Jazz was the first thing he saw after he decided to get a bass. David was never much of a gear guy. On the Staple Singers tune, I think he played his first bass which was a stack knob jazz. That one was later stolen.

11:30 Jim is great and I hate to disagree with him here, but there is a DRAMATIC difference between the middle and neck positions. 2 very different sounds. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that before.

I got to attend a clinic he did at the Kansas City folk alliance some years back. It was magical. I knew blues pretty well at the time but struggled trying to solo in country. I had taken my MIM 72 reissue thinline tele with me and after the clinic some old boy from Texas that also attended the clinic came up and said he really liked my guitar. We got to talking about picking and I played him some Albert King style licks and some Kansas City jazzy blues licks and he was impressed. I told him blues comes natural to me but I don't know how to get my solos to sound country. He said hell you know all the minor pentatonic positions just play the major pentatonic and I didn't know what he was on about. He showed me how to slide down and make my pinky the root in position one. Instantly it clicked and I started playing that country twang I had been searching for years to try and get. Its been some years now and I'm still trying to learn more chicken pickin its become an addiction. If it wasn't for that clinic watching this man and getting to talk with that random stranger from Texas, I would have never even started.

Aging and relicking a guitar to look 50 years old when you bought it yesterday is the same as wearing a fake Rolex or worse a Purple Heart you didn't earn.

I've been a lifelong bass player but started on guitar when I was 12. I've been playing guitar seriously for the past decade or so and I'm confused as to play a Telecaster or a Strat in a gig I was offered recently as a rhythm guitarist. I'm not a guitarist in the caliber of Redd, but I wonder which he'd suggest. The Tele I have is sunburst with a black pick guard. It's like an old one with the 3 brass saddles. Very nice. My USA Strat is black and newer with a tilt neck. I may wind up using the Tele because I want to use the cool Fender gig bag it came with as a case.

Beautiful sounding instrument! That was a surprise to see Lucas on here. I play an Ozark banjo. It was built by Lucas and traded to his father Scott, as part of a payment for a pickup truck. Lol I've been a fan of Lucas since his teenage years. My mother almost bought the property next to his dads music store years ago (actually I recon that would have been a year or 3 before Scott bought the store). You talked about him marrying Eden who plays fiddle, but his mother plays fiddle also. Shes the fiddle instructor at their music store. Her classes are on the front porch on nice weather days.

Owsley was an Alembic co-founder, but I believe Rick Turner and Ron Wickersham were the real engine behind the basses and active electronics.

Same Turner who built guitars for Lindsay Buckingham?
@alvarhanso631019 күн бұрын
@finnmcginn9931 yes, though I had to look it up. He built the Model 1 for Buckingham in 1979, and the headstock is similar to the Alembic design, but otherwise completely different. He apparently also helped create the graphic neck that Modulus became known for. Incredible luthier and engineer!

Redd is a Super Nice man,& always quick witted and funny. He was kind enough to allow myself and my best friend to sit in with his band for a couple of songs back in 2000. First time I heard him was in 97’ at a small club called “Barbara’s” in Printers Alley in Nville.I was walking down the alley and someone had opened the door to the club and I heard someone just SMOKIN on a Tele.Went in and it was Redd. He blew me away.I didn’t want him to stop playing.Monster Monster guitar player and a fine person as well.

I’m wondering if that’s one of the Fender ToneMaster Twin Reverb amps.I bought one last year and have bought another one since.They are answered prayer for me. They weigh 1/3 of an original Twin but sound just like one.Ive had 4 back surgeries so weight is a huge deal.Being able to have the same tone as one that weighs 80+ lbs.

Ahhh, your friend is bowing on of those are old novelty Smokey Mountain "Canjos". I bought one 20 years ago that was made with a Peach Nehi can, which I immediately changed by swapping it out with the "no-brainer" choice, a Natty Ice can, of course.

I had a 53 D-28 one of a limited version with Adirondack spruce top confirmed in a appraisal by George Gruhn in Nashville. The guitar was in better than excellent condition and sounded wonderful however I came across a 1940 D-18 for sale that a lady had inherited from her uncle at a unbelievable price of which I simply could not put down. I dearly hated to sell the 28 but it could not keep up with the 18. Loudest guitar I have ever played in my sixty years of pickin.
