Mike Auldridge and Jim Heffernen play Goldtones

[777cowgirl]

My boyfriend is getting that same Dobro!

[reckonimokie]

They are both great with two different styles. Love that Jimmy Heffernan and his blues lick at aprox 1:25 Jimmy. Can you teach that one on your site? Thx.

[mandobanjoguitar]

wow! awesome.

Hey is this the same Jim Hefernen that was from the northampton MA. area?That's got to be him.I remember seeing him play in bands around the area.

All the Jerry Douglas worshippers should take a listen.Mike Auldridge is the man when it comes to the Dobro,hand down.Great playing Mike.

Yep, Jerry may have the speed. But as far as phrasing and choosing the notes, and 'speaking' with the dobro Mike Auldridge is unmatched as far as I'm concerned. I'm in the process of learning dobro and he's the dude I wanna play like!!!

what is that tune they play towards the end (4:00 onwards)? are they just improvising or is it an actual tune? it's gorgeous. if anyone knows or has tabs, please let me know! :)

[bubblenecktom]

these guys are sick! did they do the soundtrack for chainsaw cause it sounds exactly the same. brilliant vid!

[denihuttula]

Hey! This is my great uncle Mike! :) I haven't seen him since I was just a little kid... but it's really nice to see that he's still playing. :) If you know him, please tell him that his niece Joan's daughter said hi!

[ultimatebanjo]

Thanks guys for the great jamming! I'm lovin it.

Such a nifty little lick Mr. Auldridge plays at 3:40 during "A Maiden's Prayer". It seems to tickle Mr. Heffernen! He can't keep from giving a little chuckle when he hears it!

[bbjorkyt]

That's his signature sound, I went a workshop with Mike A. and asked him how he got that sound. Part of it comes from playing in octaves and the rest is a mystery.

[acw1270]

I'm sure that's how they would sound if I was playing them ... =o

Which model of Goldtone are they playing -- mahogony or maple?

[rstones56]

They are Mahogany. Either the PBS Std, or more likely the solid wood model, PBS-M. The PBSM has s "snowflake" neck inlay that is slightly more fancy than the dots of the PBS-Standard. I can't see well enough to see if these have the snowflakes or not. But the tone sounds like the "warmer" solid wood of the PBS-M's.

The Maple model (PBS-Deluxe) has a "Hearts and Flowers" inlay pattern...

[BeardGuitars]

The 2 tunes they play together are "Fireball Mail" and "A Maiden's Prayer".

[olwillieone]

...A maidens prayer, got to find the tab!! Thanks

[olwillieone]

I keep coming back to this time after time.

Love it!

What is the tune you do as a duet??

[phylliserck]

Me too. Thanks for adding this to your fav's Richie so that I got to spend a little bit of my day listening to these 2 sweethearts exchanging licks and laughs. LOVED IT!!!!

btw, I just picked up a Goldtone myself. I'm trying out that D tuning you told me about. It's so fun.

[resopicker]

I just love these guys!!! When Mike and Jimmy get together messing around like this.....words fail to describe!
