Hi there. You play beautifully! Was wondering if you were familiar with a website called SingSnap ? I'm not a promoter..just a member and I do sing on there. It's open to the public. Wish I knew how to private message you here...I'm new to youtube membership. Anyway, you can post traks there and get a following, and if you leave your trak open for duets then others can sing with them. Maybe you are already on the site...and if you are, please let me know your username there so I can come listen.
good call. yes it is....a 1954. it laid around a shop i worked at for years until one day i plugged it in and realized what it was. (the logo is all worn out). i don't take it out anymore, use it just to record. did you know howard roberts based his Benson amps on these......
they are hugely underrated and overlooked, and i wish gibson would re-issue them.
@sidethehead A good friend of mine named Warren Sedberry from the southeast US, a noted photographer and jazz guitar player, got to know Howard through some seminars he attended. He took some great photos of HR and learned a lot from him as many did through the years.
thanks, @Zepster77 . i learned about H.R. from my teacher in n.y,, howard morgen, years ago when he recommended the Chord Melody Guitar Manual, one of my favorite books. His albums, like "Jaunty jolly", :Goodies", and 'Howard Roberts is a dirty Guitar Player', are among my favorite albums ever. fun, brilliant and awesome sidemen like shelly manne. Pretty much my favorite player outside of the rock genre. Also the top studio guitarist of his day, including the twilight zone riff!
Nice acoustic version of the song. Liked it better than I thought I would. You make your guitar sing. A guy named Carlos Santana does the same, I think your in good company.
Thanks so much for the kind comments and taking the time to listen. I loved your David Gates cover of "Make it with you', and that is a tune I'll probably post one day myself. As for the guitar...yeah, I saw it on the rack at guitar center and could have sworn I heard it say......"Daddy!!!".
Very inspired and well played.

You have a soul/ blueish sound to your playing. How long have you been playing anyway?

Is that a gibson falcon? I should have kept the one I had, had a intense clean sound.

Im dating myself, I have seen Santana many times in the 80s, always a great time. No need to sing when you can play like that.
