What amp are you playing through? What size strings? Love your sound. I love that Peerless Monarch. I have one with a routed/set humbucker and its truly a poor mans Wes L5. Great stuff bro great tone and way to capture that Wes sound.
@jazzman3071 Thanks man. Don't have an Amp right now. Still looking. I am playing directly into my LapTop ( External Mic In ) through VirtualDub, using a Sony HD LifeCam Web Cam ( 1080p ) I use 18 Gauge Flat Wound Strings ( Cables ) just like WES. The Thumb plus the 18 gauges produces that fat Wes Sound.
@Bomberomusician 18!!! I thought I had thick strings with a 14-67 flatwound(Labella black nylon wrapped) and they sound great. I just dig the hell out of your playing!!
@Jazzbuff12 I'm sorry. I was mistaken. The strings I'm using are the Thomastik-Infeld Vienna / George Benson Heavy Gauge GB114. From low E to High E: .055 .041 .031 .021w .018 .014
Ha, ha, Thanks. Guess what? Those are the ones I use. I heard Wes perform live many, many, times. The stuff he did was "impossible" to do on the guitar. You have got his sound and your fingering reminds me of the way he used to play.
@Jazzbuff12 No instruction other than watching Wes play. Using the three fingers
( playing jazz) I've noticed that I can get around on the fretboard with better accuracy. Now if you notice on my Strunz&Farah Spanish guitar material I use my pinky due to the speed neede for the scales. I also use a pick. Unlike Wes, I have been able to develop the thumb and a pick. I can use either... ;)
I've started using three fingers and can also move around much better. It has required me to view the fretboard differently. It's interesting, I can play much faster with more accuracy. I don't know why, but it is better for me.
Admirable;Bravo !!!

Kudos for a job well done. Wes would be proud.
