Jorma Kaukonen: "Water Song"

[Bilco1949]

I saw a TV bit where Chet and Mark Knopfler were doing gtr duets. Both had Gibson Chet Atkins gtrs. Amazing.

As a kid this was my favorite jorma composition and how serendipitous it was to find myself in his studio learning water song from him!!! He is a kind, patient teacher and this tune is really just a few different motifs. Personally, I find embryonic tougher in some spots. I played as john cephas' student for 5 years, so that got me "eligible" so to speak. Nice geetar too jorma.

@gitgurl601 You are beyond fortunate. Good for you. It is just so beautiful and flowing.

Pretty sweet but to my ear there are a few odd notes buzzing around ......the album version is like so lock step. Just sayin,rock on Jorma.

What happened to the singing track?

[SenorCali]

@erod1944 it's an instrumental.

[frantnik]

in a time where music is getting day by day more worse, I'm so glad there are still some real musicians, that was great music.

Thanks for sharing!!

Good flow... I am surprised this does not get more exposure...

[DrewAnti1960]

I dig Hot Tuna,just saw them last year in Torrington,good show they played with little Feat

[KnightBiologist]

Great tune. I liked it better on the acoustic steel string guitar though; what was that, a Garvin? sounded like nylon strings...not enough sustain or body to the tone, I think.

Thanks for posting the vid.

@KnightBiologist

hi,

perhaps a gibson chet Atkins...

[peterpterodactyl]

@cepadladobe

yep, it's a Gibson Chet Atkins

[Zox111]

@KnightBiologist

It's a steelstring, the problem is the piezo-mick which gives the poor sound.

[kheyashunka]

@KnightBiologist Gibson Chet Aitkins.. it is actually a pretty nice guitar

and live tone is pretty sweet.. although this is a pretty good recording.. audio is suffering quite a bit... I have played a couple of Jormas axes,, but not that one..
