Salty Dog Rag

[kingdimak1300]

My dad use to finger pick this song for me many years ago. This brings back some good memories. You are the best I have seen on You Tube other than some of the classic greats such as Chet Atkins, Merl Trvis....

@kingdimak1300 I used my buddy;s youtube account my account is stonelight7. I have been studying you picking and I think i can learn a lot. My dad played a whole lot like Merl Travis so I can pick a little like him already. I have you on my favorites and will continue to go to your page. Good job on all your picking.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

I really appreciate your watching, Keith. Thanks for the kind words.

Great playing! This is a personal favorite from Chet's Down Home LP. If I may suggest something it would be for you to use the tremolo arm a little, especially at the end chord. Otherwise it's perfect! My foot hasn't stopped tapping yet...

[IdontWonna]

That's some amazing playing, loved every bit.

Can you tell me who the original artist is?

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for watching and your kind comment. It´s a Chet Atkins arrangement, I added a few variations.

We need some dancers to do the Salty Dog Rag. Chet and Red both did this number as well. All three are good.

[greytemp]

Really great rendition. I like it.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for the kind post.

Martin

[han454570]

This is beautiful, but I prefer this music or this style of alone guitar, without accompaniments or chords, batteries programmed etc.

The guitar is wonderful alone and him(her) it is not necessary to have afraid to the silence, because of it I say: NOT TO THE TRACKS " cordial Regards.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for watching and your kind comment. I agree but sometimes it´s fun to have a little accompaniment.

Martin

[gsondreal]

That is nice! That's a Country Gentleman right? Do you have echo or something? How do you do the bass? Thanks, Gerry

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for watching and your kind comment.

The guitar is a Gretsch 6122-1959 Country Gentleman. I use a small amount of delay and reverb. The backing comes from "Band in a box"

Martin

[CvgGuitarPlayer]

I love that song! Great playing!

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks, buddy. I really like your pickin`and that orange guitar of course.

All the best

Beautiful playing! Salty Dog Rag was one of my favorite things by Chet. Nearly went out of my mind trying to figure out the "finger roll" licks on the first solo. It is VERY difficult to get this exactly right! I guess only Chet could really do this stuff, with perfect phrasing and all. I loved the little additions you put in the song. Great!
