(If you have a tab with the intro, thanks)

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Merci.

Martin

[ddanze]

what guitar is this here? ddanze

is this leo wijnkamp's arrangement from 1975??  nice!

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for your kind post. It`s mainly a Chet-arrangement with some own ideas. The guitar is a Gretsch 6122-1959 Country Gentleman.

Martin

[6622440]

That's great playing on a great tune.

Could you direct me to the tab (if it's available)

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for the kind post. I use DÀddario EXL115W, 011 - 049

Martin

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Sorry, EXL 115, plain third!

Martin

[shrubhater]

WHOA!!!! Your sound is AMAZING!!! What sound effects are you using? Do you have the tab for this piece? Thanks for posting!

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for watching and your kind comment.

I use a reverb pedal (digitech hardwire) and a delay pedal (digitech hardwire). Check your mailbox.

Martin

[kopo35]

Hello Martin , I try to play this tune but I'have not the tab with the intro. Have you the tab ?

Thank you for your playinf it's a very pleasure to listen and regards your videos.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for watching and your kind comment. Check your mail box.

Martin

[kopo35]

hello Martin

You are a great player with a great sound.

To have this sound what are your position control ( Treble,med,bass) on the roland cube 60?

I just buy a gretsch 6122 59 and i play with the guitar control maximum, it's good for this sound?

Regards

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for your kind comment. Check your mailbox.

Kind regards

Martin

[636117]

Great playing as usual. I may have asked this before, but what strings are you using? I'm about to try some T-Is, with a change to a Supertron in the neck as well.

Vielen Dank

[CoffeeDrinker71]

What kind of amp are you using? The tone is amazing!

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for watching and the kind comment.

I recorded this video with a Roland Cube 60, great amp for clean tone.

Martin

[dgbreso]

Your sound is wonderful. I love all your videos. The Roland Cube 60 sounds wonderful with your 6122-1959. Are using any pedals with this recording?

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks. I use two great sounding pedals; Digitech hardwire reverb (plate reverb) and Digitech hardwire delay (Tape delay).

Martin

[ddanze]

sounds exactly like Leo Wijnkamp's arrangement from 1974....but then, arent

they all the same?

[BoeckmannLudwig]

It´s more a Chet-arrangement.

Thanks for watching.

Martin

[donniepg14]

man u are amazing im only 15 but its inspiring to see you play and im determined to learn this

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for watching and your kind comment. I like your videos - you have a beautiful voice.

Martin

[donniepg14]

wow. thank you soo much it is very very much appreciated hearing that from a musician of your caliber thank you.

[van1976]

Excellent. It doesn't sound easy I'm giving the Big Bill Brooonzy version a try, it may take awhile.

--Van

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Hello Van,

hope you are doing great these days. Thanks for your kind feedback. Big Bill - one of the greatest!

All the best, buddy.

Martin

[Mawenzii]

Can I have tabs to Tuxedo Junction?

[OldPicker]

Super! Natürlich Bestnote...

Mir gefallen aber auch Deine ausgesprochen schönen Gitarren. Welcher Amp hängt dahinter?

Viele Grüße aus Bremen,

OldPicker

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Vielen Dank für deinen netten Kommentar. Wenn ich aufnehme, spiele ich direkt in die Soundkarte des PC, also kein großer Aufwand. Ansonsten benutze ich den Schertler Unico, super für Akustikgitarre u. auch die Gretsch klingt gut darüber.

Gruß

Martin

[AmplifiedRhythm]

Great playing! What amp are you playing through?

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for the kind comment. I use a Schertler Unico ( acoustic amp).

Martin

[gonn94]

could you please give me some advice on learning by ear

because i don't understand how you can hear every note

[BoeckmannLudwig]

That is a difficult question. Experience for many years plays a role. There are very good tabs, which are nowadays a large assistance. Good luck.

Martin

[gonn94]

how did you learn this song??

[BoeckmannLudwig]

I learned it by ear from an old Chet Atkins record many years ago. I changed the arrangement a little bit. Thanks for watching.

Martin

[beppiebep]

that is smooth

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Martin

[fridrikur]

Hey great playing as always. I was wondering if you use delay effects (echo) or is the bass sounding the way without effects?

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Hello Fridrikur,

thanks for watching and your kind comment. I use a very small amount of delay (3 repeats in the tempo of the tune).

Martin

[fridrikur]

Thank you. Do you use delays on a rtas or vts effect like amplitube 2 and stomp or is the delay done on a pedal? Just curious. Great sound. I use amplitube 2 effects for delay. It works great on the pm bass

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Hello Fridrikur,

I use the TC Nova Delay pedal.

Thanks

Martin

[Forbisglass]

Martin;

Exactly what model you playin so well?

John

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for watching and your kind comment, John.

Martin

[kelymin]

How do you start playing like this? I mean, those chords and everything it's unusual. I've started playing little bit of it recently without any direct, correct guidance I'm afraid. I'm very interested in this kind of music, it's just hard to start with. Any comments? Awesome playing by the way.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Listen to Mister Guitar Chet Atkins; he is the greatest guitar player of all time. Try to learn some easier tunes like "Windy and warm" and have fun. Good luck, my friend.

Thanks for watching.

Martin

[Chordwayze]

Was going to suggest exactly that! Good Luck

[lenaspieltblues]
