My Resophonic Guitar Collection

[bluegrassin]

Where do you get a safe like that? Good playing!

[hoopiejohn]

@bluegrassin I got it at Tractor Supply, and it was pretty reasonable I thought.

There is room within for five Resophonic guitars, but flat-tops are much larger, so I don't know. But a bunch of banjos, and mandolins would work for sure.

I've just fallen in Love with Cecilia, John mon ami...

Discovered your channel this afternoon at work while searching for some scapper tabs and stuff. Brilliant rendering and nice concept.

And true neck mastering

greetings from France

Puttin resonators in a safe aye?,Pretty crafty...

[hoopiejohn]

@jacksondemarre Maybe too crafty. For about a month and a half, both my Nationals have been locked inside a safe I can't get open. The only guitar I've got right now is my little Republic. I'm not complaining though. It's a fine guitar on its own. Glad it was outside when the safe mechanism failed.

[TheBgbrush]

i didnt know the guy on delocated could play the guitar lol

[leandeganis]

u scare me

[hoopiejohn]

@leandeganis ¿Por qué tiene usted miedo? Muchos luchadores usan máscaras.

[leandeganis]

@hoopiejohn no se.. esa vestimenta MAS la mascara me resulta a tipica pelicula de terror donde una pareja se va de vacaciones a un pueblo alejado y un asesino serial los persigue hasta lo ultimo jaja I think there is a popular film like this, but i can't remember which one is it

[mosddoomsday1]

Cecilia is very very beautiful and has the voice of a goddess!

[hoopiejohn]

@mosddoomsday1 You're right. There is something special about the 12-string, and I'm not sure what it is. But maybe making 12-string resonator guitars is something that Dobro, National and various small-shop luthiers should have done more of in the past, and not less. I have been very pleased.

I had to order this guitar through Elderly , and at the time (and maybe still) National for certain models would build you one for a 15% upcharge over the price of the same 6-string model. Glad I did.

The last guitar sounds the best...I've always loved the sound of a 12 string! Next time wear an gorilla suit.

[viavairoma]

[tdubbs9ner]

What's up with the mask dude? Are you the kinda guy that walk around in public with a face mask and opens doors with a kleenex or what?

[hoopiejohn]

I'm a hermit.

[jipes]

I knew Captain America, Los Très bandidos but now I got to now the Resophonic Masked Avenger !

Thanks a lot for sharing this great video ragtime blues and humor a great combination ! I love the twelve strings gem it's really delivering a full sound

[vatonaught]

Great playing...Blind Boy would applaude

[KR0GG]

Awesome collection. Nice playing. I love the high tech security mask and the hat over the lock! :) Good stuff.

[SteveMcBill]

Nice playing - I never did manage the standing up bit - will have to try again.

For anyone else wanting this tab please Google "Steve J. McWilliam tab" and go to the Tabs page - you will find the tabs and the midi files there so you can hear how the tunes go before you try to play them

Enjoy

Steve

[hoopiejohn]

Is it realy you? If so, you have a wonderful site. Thanks for putting it up! Am still working on Memphis Blues by Tom, but it's tough.

Please excuse also my rough, loose way of playing. My philosophy of blues performance is that it should sound like its coming from inside a dumpster. Besides I'm viewing YouTube as a place to have fun-a good place for playing grabass.

Thanks to all you tabbers; wish I knew how to do it, I have found some worthy riffs over the years.

[SteveMcBill]

Yeh John, its me. There is nothing 'rough' about your playing - sounds great to me. Tom's version of Memphis is tough but worth it when you get there. Any chance of you puttin' any more of the arrangements from my site up on the Tube ??

Cheers and keep on pluckin'.

Steve J. McWilliam

[hoopiejohn]

Funny you should mention - very soon - one of Dick Wildman's, but mention of you and credit to your site.

Thanks again

hoopiejohn

[SteveMcBill]

I presume that will be 'Hooleys' then - I will really look forward to hearing that. Many thanks for the mention - much appreciated.

Cheers

Steve

[SteveMcBill]

Or then again, I guess it could be 'Pony Blues' ??

Steve

[hoopiejohn]

Yo0u're a good guesser.
