My Sorella Blues played by Lena

[dirtypairXX]

Hallo Lena, schön zu sehen, dass der alten Dame "Sorella" durch Dein Spiel wieder Leben einhauchst!

Und die alte Dame wird es Dir sicherlich danken.

Diese alten Gitarren, seinerzeit leider sehr oft unterschätzt, haben ihn, den Charme der Zeitlosigkeit!

Gruß

[lenaspieltblues]

@dirtypairXX Vielen Dank, sehr recht hast mit dem, was Du über die Framus schreibst. Nur schad, daß die meinige ein so schmales Griffbrett hat. Ist halt nicht so ideal für Fingerpicking, daher spiele ich sie auch weniger auf ihr, als sie es verdient hätte. Herzliche Grüße, lena

[mwketelaar]

Hi Lena,

Very very nice. Enjoyed your playing and guitar!

Just swapped my Stratocaster Japan for a Framus Soralla with single pick up.

Wich strings do you use?

[lenaspieltblues]

@mwketelaar Good idea! :)) The string that I use (only for my Framus and especially for slide) are Thomastik-Infeld (Jazz BeBop, round wound, not! the flat wound, .014-.055). Thank you, Lena

[TheVladaguitar]

Nice guitar!

[lenaspieltblues]

@TheVladaguitar Yes it is! Thanks :)) Lena

[TheVladaguitar]

Nice guitar!

[WEBTRAIN]

I have a guitar like this one since 1963,,as a kid,, except color is diff, tailgate is curved (Sorella logo) and I had a small amp with it, Dynacord, which my brother destroyed.amp was small,blue in color,great echo/tremlo, amp chord was RCA jack one end and 4-5 pin for amp, I remember that, plus it had a foot switch (3 prong in rear of amp) the amp/guitar sounded great, I plan to restore mine soon, just finished on my 1973 es-335

[lenaspieltblues]

@WEBTRAIN I thinks guitars like this are worth to be restored. Good plan! :) Lena

[dargweyder]

[fruhotchiliman]

[lenaspieltblues]

das freut mich sehr :))

[593Guitars]

I can hear a lot of John Fahey in your playing. Nice axe, good playing, good solid bass plucking to keep that 'ol train a rollin...'

[lenaspieltblues]

thanks a lot for all these compliments!!

Cheers,

Lena :))

[phfrixion]

Sehr schönes Video. Ich habe auch 'ne Sorella (sunburst aber nur mit einem Pickup), aber der Tonabnehmer gehr leider nicht. Also nur akustisch abnehmbar. lG aus Wien, Phil

[lenaspieltblues]

Danke Phil!

... meine Tonabnehmer sind original und funktionieren auch noch tadellos. Allerdings habe ich diese Aufnahme ausschließlich über Micro abgenommen.

Liebe Grüße nach Wien,

Lena

[markblass]

Thank you. Blues is everywhere.

[rederhessen]

0.14....oha...da bräuchte ich wahrlich auch Fingerpicks

[rederhessen]

Öhm...was für eine Stimmung spielst du denn da?

Die Gitarre ist fertig.klingt erstaunlich gut

[lenaspieltblues]

Gratulation zur fertigen Gitarre. Ich spiele Open D, einen halben Ton tiefer gestimmt. Also: Cis, Gis, Cis, f, gis, cis

Ich benutze Jazz BeBop Saiten von Thomastik-Infeld, Round! Wound., Medium (.055-.o14)

[lenaspieltblues]

??? aber trotzem: DANKE!!! Lena :))

[lenaspieltblues]

Eine Framus? Hast Du die alten Pickups noch?

[lenaspieltblues]

Glückwunsch!!! .. die haben einen ganz unvergleichlichen Klang .... :)))

[onkelbuke]

back to this one. du hast es halt einfach drauf, ich liebe es. darf ich fragen was so eine gitarre kostet oder was man ausgeben muss um eine vergleichbare zu bekomme? ich finds zu geil, danke lena, LG. Christopher

[lenaspieltblues]

Also so eine Framus, die ja keine Slidegitarre, geschweige denn Fingerpickinggitarre ist, wenn sie gut in Schuß ist, vielleicht so 500 oder 600. Weiß nicht so genau, meine ist ein Erbstück. Wenn da die Original pickups drauf sind, ist das ein dickes Plus! Die sind unschlagbar ...

[songschreiber93]

Wow sehr schön gespielt!

Da soll noch mal wer sagen, dass Frauen kein Blues spielen können!

Ich hatte auch mal ne sorella aus dem Hause Framus..hab ich mit meinem Vater restauriert...leider ham wir sie weiterverkauft :( schande über uns :D

wär dir (ich duze einfach mal) sehr dankbar wenn du vielleicht mal auf meinem profil vorbeikuckst :) hab einfach aus spaß ein paar videos gemacht..nix großes

Lg---Flo

[lenaspieltblues]

Klar mache ich das Flo .. subito .... :=))

[transponderfish]

[lenaspieltblues]

DANKESCHÖÖÖÖÖN :=)))) Lena

[greyhoundgeorge]

Großartig!! Und damit meine ich nicht die Gitarre!

[lenaspieltblues]

Die ist doch aber auch schön, oder sagen wir: großartig ? :-)) Vielen herzlichen Dank!!!

[Gianni77]

whaaaa. The pickups are original framus?

[lenaspieltblues]

Yes, pickup are original (end 1950th, beginning 1960th). But please notice that this video is recorded by micro not the pickups. But I think I should to it with pickups too ....

[useryug]

Lovely guitar and great playing.... you have marvellous control... a lot folk get all overexcited and mess up the tempo...

You're my new inspiration, Lena, - think I'll try some more slide myself.!

[lenaspieltblues]

Oh Barry, sorry so much, I' ve forgotten to say THANKS for your so kind und wise comment,

cheers,

Lena

[onkelbuke]

ahhhh, ich dreh echt bald durch, dass ist der Hammer. sieht so lessig aus, ich liebe den sound, hatt ein bischen was vom Robert Johnson, sounds fantastic. and faved.

LG Christopher

[lenaspieltblues]

Thanks bluespower, yes the Framus is a wonderful guitar, with a very own tone. :=))

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Real sweet. Beautiful separation between the bass and treble. The tone is wonderful. Great Bukka. You go girl!

[lenaspieltblues]

Thank you very much Keni, maybe I should play more on my wonderful Framus guitar ... :=))

[u786812]

HI Lena, you are a great slide-guitarplayer,

***** i'm a good friend of Laurie and so i

have find you, realy great tune !!!

Many---Grtz---Kurt !!!

[lenaspieltblues]

Thank you Kurt (and Laurie), you are a great player too and I really feel nonored! :=))

[ChickenboneJohn]

Very nice stuff..two of my favourite numbers..I learnt to play both of them from Catfish Keith - have you been to one of his workshops?

[lenaspieltblues]

No John, but I bought a Catfish Keith video years ago. I learned "Bye and Bye" by watching it. Thanks for your nice words!

[PeterSchroder]

Dein Blues hat die Kraft mir die Traenen in die Augen zu treiben; irgendetwas will er mir staendig sagen ... und ich weiss nicht genau was es ist ... Alle Worte sind hier fast ueberfluessig. Einfach schoen gespielt. Thanks.

[lenaspieltblues]

Ich danke Dir sehr, wunderschön solche Komplimente zu hören :=))

[bigfrank1961]

Very nice playin....I love the Booker song. You should try singing them too.

[lenaspieltblues]

Thanks Frank! I was thinking long time about getting authentically with these wonderful old blues songs. (Singing in my Germanamericanenglish slang will bear monsters). I decided that the best way to be true would be to play them in a style like this. Actually I'm studying John Fahey style to make them better. Hope you like it too. :=))

[hankbubba]

Wow, really impressed. I play myself and admire your alternating bass. I know it takes some work to play alternating bass and slide. Once I learned the technique, it was like riding a bicycle. Great work, keep pickin

[lenaspieltblues]

Danke ferfried6 and thanx hank, yes I like to cycle the guitar and will go on doing this :=))

[ferfried6]

Ganz starke Nummer.

Sehr gut rübergebracht.

[lenaspieltblues]

Mönsch E aus E, habe mich garnicht bedankt für den lieben Kommentar, tztztz, DANKE! :=))

[QueenOfWannabe87]

WOW - this is so great Lena :-D I apollgize that I didn'¨t check out your vids sooner. I was going to, but then I never came around to do it! Well from now on I will look forward to every new vid from you because you can really play the blues - AWESOME my friend!Anne

PS: Hey i've always wanted to try and learn how to play blues/slideguitar and now I know who to turn to for some good advice ;-D

[QueenOfWannabe87]

Playlisted btw :-D peace&love, Anne

[lenaspieltblues]

Thanx so much Anne, you are really nice! Feel honored to be asked for advices :=))

[fendermac]

By and by I'm gonna give up slide!You're too good.

[colne05]

Wow...You really got it from the heart! How gret to see the blues played for real nowadays...I just started trying to teach myself blues guitar and this is an inspiration...Thanks for posting and dont ever give up :+)

[BubbaFart]

I LOVE this video!! The sound of that guitar is so calming...it has a beautiful tone to it and your playing is beautiful too!!

Please post more videos!

[3drugos]

Your ear was made for the blues, your fingers for the picking!

:-)

[ppatpparis]

Another beautiful rendition.

[pickersparadise]

[itsstilljustme]

Beautiful playing Lena. Maybe one day I'll be able to learn how to use that pinky slider you have there. 5*****

[lenaspieltblues]

I am sure you will...THANKS!

[DOUGHOWELL]

wow..incredible playin!!!!this will be added to my favorites list..I have a 1939 Gibson acoustic..the sad part is that I can only play a few chords.lol..I play brass instruments but always wanted to learn to play the geeeetar..maybe one day..

[maryblue61]

lena you play great blues and that s really nice guitar too

thank you for our comments aswell

andrea

[darklord1968666]

plz can you tell me what strings you are useing as i have the same guitar, Great picking and sliding thanks:)

[lenaspieltblues]

Thank you Mydarklord!

it's great to read that there are so much fans of Framus guitars. My strings are Thomastik-Infeld (Jazz BeBop, round wound, not! the flat wound, .014-.055). Best strings that I know if you want to play acoustic AND amplified.

[suuzzee5]

Lena, this is just wonderful! Love this style of playing...you're very good! Suze

[forhissake]

This is great, perhaps you could treat us to the Mississippi Blues, an old classic?

[lenaspieltblues]

Thanks a lot forhissake! First it's Bye And Bye, I'm Goin To See The King by Blind Willie Johnson. But it's like Catfish Keith do this song, Blind Willie's original sounds different. Second is Jitterburg Swing by Booker T. White. So it's otherworldly and secularistic in one instrumental.

[lupine22]

Wonderful! You have an excellent slide technique.

Is that a metal or glass slide?

[lenaspieltblues]

My three main slides are made of gemstone, steel and one, this one, is a real bootleneck. Actually my favorite.

[daddystovepipe]

Great picking and sliding. Cool guitar, my first 12-string was a Framus...how time flies...

[lenaspieltblues]

Thanks Patty,Steve, Daniel and Reny. Yes Pipe, the Framus is a very nice sounding old guitar. Love my sorella ... :)))

[sidestreetreny]

As always... rite on track (like a choo choo). Another nice one Lena. Dig the pick up at the end into Jitterbug Swing... cool. Holler

- peace fo'real, Sidestreet Reny

[DANIEL64700]

J'adore ce son. Tu as un très bon rythme, et tu maitrise parfaitement ton jeux, c'est un régal. Vivement les prochaines vidéos.

[volleyballjones]

Great blues sound you are getting. Interesting guitars you have too.

[pattyannsmith]

WOW! Lena! Truly Great Work!

[deltablues4761]

Forgot to mention, I am very envious of that right hand thumb picking of yours, mine will not behave!

Dean

[lenaspieltblues]

Thanks Dean!

I learned it by splitting one or two tacts in very little pieces. That was boaring but one day Mr. Thumb was walking himself.

[deltablues4761]

Feel like I'm riding/sliding in a real old car down a lonely country road, and the sun's goin' down.( trouble's gonna catch me here)

Dean
