Tuning?

[KeniLeeBurgess]

@dengladepostman Thank you for your question. I know for sure Bill is in Vestapol Tuning (151351). But not sure of the key. Sounds like D. (DADf#ad) Enjoy

[micmoable]

sounds good man! Love that old style sound---today's music ain't nothing compared to that stuff

[KeniLeeBurgess]

@micmoable Thank you for your comment. Yes, there is something very satisfying about the classics. Just like a good old cup of joe and and big piece of mama's chocolate cake. Enjoy.

is that a 36 inch guitar

[KeniLeeBurgess]

It is 36 1/2". If you click on (more info) on the right of the video there is a full description. Enjoy.

very cool guitar.. i'm sure it has a tale to tell..

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. I sold this guitar on ebay. It actually made it's way back home to Chicago. It certainly is a unique piece of history. Happy New Year. Enjoy.

[FraJa1980]

Now that is one cool guitar!!! At first glance i thought it was a reso but its a iron flattop, very cool old instrument. I bet it has seen some deep Blues.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Yes, I would assume it must. Did you read the info on the right. Ironically, because it was recently sold, it made it's way back home to Memphis.

[FraJa1980]

Yes i did, i realy like the bolt setup for a bridge and the fact it was made in Joliet prison. Too bad you sold it, i would have kept it for its mojo alone, let alone the historic value! I hope the new owner is very happy with his very unique guitar, lol lets just hope he stayes out of Joliet with it.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for your comment.

[hrlarson]

It sounds great, it looks incredibly cool. What's the name of the tune Bill's playing?

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. Please check out the guitar pictures on ebay. The name of the song? I'm not sure, but I believe it is called, Guitar Rag, and I think Bill said, he learned from Steve James. It is a good one!

[hrlarson]

At last I made a search and found out that the name of the tune is Steel Guitar Rag. This is still my favorite version.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for the clarification. Check out Steve James. He may have recorded it on one of his CDs. Enjoy.

[Dabomb782]

yes, a very neat sounding guitar, and nice slide work

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. Yes, I agree, it has a pretty interesting tone. It is not often you come across a steel bodied acoustic guitar with a pick-up. Please check out the pictures on ebay.

[trevorm1]

wow, this is a neat sounding instrument.

Cool.

[fendermac]

Sounds fantastic.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. It has a nice tone thru that little Danelectro Honeytone Amp. I would keep it, but I usually play acoustic, and how many guitars should one person have anyway? No need to answer that one. lol. It has a lot of serious mojo. It has done some hard time in Joliet Prison.

[bigfrank1961]

Nice guitar.....Hat's off to Bill. He makes the metal sound great.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. It could be yours...if the price is right! Well, Bill has skills...he could make a piece of wire and a broom stick sound great. The intonation on this guitar is pretty good considering it was made in a prison workshop around 1930. Listen to those harmonics. Right on.

[raindog951]

Just great! Looks like Bill got a kick out of that too.

[cinderellalifestyle]

REally a neat-o find Kennilee, and a GREAT sound, by the sample!now must see more pics, as is there art on guitar? I will pull it up on the bay.....

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. The whole guitar is art. Prison or Inmate art. It was created by a Joliet Prison Inmate circa 1930. Includes a certificate from the museum. It is being played thru a small Danelectro Honeytone Amp.

[VenusInAries]

[lasht2monyon]

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. I know Bill is watching, and he appreciates your comment. Not only is he a good player, but he is a great sideman. Easy to work with, and always adds some tasty ideas. I am glad to be able to call him my friend. The Old Blues Trio will be getting back together after the summer. Thanks again.
