I heard a song by Ernie on a solo project of his about 25 yrs ago, I think it was called Back to square one. Does anybody know if you can find it anywhere? Thanks. it had a cool funky bass line kinda like this one
to plumbdogg...lots of guys in cincinnati are covering this one, someone at juneteenth did last weekend. they didnt sound as good as this. my band is doing "who loves you better" and "climbing up the ladder"..i'm using this exact amp...a valveking. its got great tone. I pick these tunes by ear, but if i get stuck i want you to show me some of these...Fight the Power!
Love this song, i learned it from your vid, but isnt most of this riff at the beginning mostly played by the bass player, or our you improvising the bassist on some of this? thanks Bill
Great stuff man thats as funky as it gets. Hell I think you just put the bass player out of a job also very very cool thanks for posting GTOJOE Phoenix Arizona USA
I've seen two of his videos and he is amazing! I learned I'll be good to you from him (took a couple of replays). He should really think about putting out an instructional dvd. I would pick it up in a heartbeat!
The guitar is funky, and so cool at the same time. Wow!
You guys are Funky as hell. You & Warren should put together some DVD's. Maby one with you guys jammin + an instructional section in the "Warren breaks down the ___" format.
Wooo! Sounds great! Everyone should learn to play funk and soul. There are no better rhythm guitar players alive than the funk greats. I listen to this long enough and my Irish ass might even learn to dance.
get a good set of headphones and really listen to everything going on in the song, that will speed things up for you and just practice practice practice.
oh man i love ur playing it grooves so much i love it and that amp u have is the same that i have ^^ and ur strat is really hot i'm thinking about tu buy a jaguar
How is Warren doing? Sorry to here about the car accident. Man I just happen to see your site, man when you guys break these songs down by naming the chords, My playing is at a whole new level. I see a lot of guitar sites on youtube, but they don't hit like PLUMdogg.
i paid $470 bucks brand new w/footswitch. i'm trying to sell it for $375 w/ brand new tubes. the old sovtek ones broke up too early. now i got more clean headroom. better compression and bass. know anyone interested?
it's alright to play around with. i'd spend all the money i can on am amp though cause that's where most of your tone is coming from. if you got a good amp then go ahead. it does everything good but nothing excellent if you know what i'm saying.
It's a fucking Greek tragedy that he wasn't mic'd when he was singing. I still rated this 5 stars because it's an awesome performance of an awesome song, but man, what could've been...
it was built together from various fender parts way back in the days. univox humbuckers and very thin neck. the man you built it is the man playing it, he's a friend of mine.
yeah that's him. we're in my basement playing thru my amp and pedal and his one of a kind strat. i(plumbdogg) am the mexican guy in some of the other vids i put up. i should make him a youtube account, he's getting tons of comments!
U should. I do a Hendrix act and I jam with some "old school" guys and we were watching this with great admiration. We pray he gets better. I'd like to send him a greeting if possible.
For those of you who want who's that lady.Search it.You will find a version with ernie playing and singing it solo.However I wish PLUMBdogg would show it to us
thanks for the comments, i gotta set the record straight though. this is my buddy Warren for those that ain't sure who Plumbdogg is, I'm the mexican dude in the other vids. i been trying to hook up with Warren cuz we got a ton of ideas for vids, but unfortunately he was in a car accident and broke his neck. thank GOD he wasn't paralyzed or worse but it's gonna be a while before he plays a guitar again but as soon as he's up to it, he'll show everyone how to REALLY play it.
wow, at least now i know that pedal is capable of something. ive had mine for 6 months and at best it sounds like a xerox of what im wanting.props on getting it going like that. all around impressive
sorry to hear that but can i ask what kinda amp you playing thru? it's not the best pedal but the modulations and some of the od sound good. preset patch 8 b or c is great for the star spangled banner.
A MIJ fender jazzmaster reissue and a 4 10 fender hotrod deville. Yeah the overdrives arnt too bad. The highs and lows always seem a lil weak to me. Love that tone you got going though. nice guitar.
warren you a bad man i wish could teach me hell ya!
