Old Joe Clark (strumstick variation)

[sjeter61]

pretty cool Lew!

[SuperMarkopoulos]

Yeah, it is a turkish saz, its frets is placed based on C major scale, and its the tuning of greek 3 strings bouzouki, one tune lower.

Your approach to the instrument its really nice and unique.

[JoseLuisJaranero]

That instrument is called a "Saz". It comes from Turkey. Nice playing.

[ClintL63]

the sound of the melody is quite vague as it doesnt stand out against the rythm; I must say it does take some talent to play and sing and I like the song

[SpencerScharf]

That's a really nice sounding instrument. 

[TenaciousFlea]

fantastic!

[jayrbee60]

Two of youtube's most knowledgable folksters getting together! Oh what I'd give to be a fly on that wall! Wow! That is too cool, make sure both of your cameras are shined up! (Yes, that is a baglama saz - Wish I had one!)

[SirCoughsalot]

I love the sound of that. Kind of reminds me of what the song would sound like played on a sitar.

Also: looking forward to the inevitable jam sessions that'll arise from Raymond's visit.

[cariboubill]

Sounds good. Puts a smile on my face. John hope you have a great visit with Ray and his wife. ...Bill

[djypsydjazz]

That right there is a Turkish saz (also called bağlama). I have played those many times and they are quite enjoyable instruments. Cool playing!

[marcoacca]

Wonderful.

Hello

Lew...

That is one exotic-looking specimen of an instrument (I haven't a clue as to its name)...however,"Old Joe Clark" seems to be well-accustomed to it!

Pax,

Max

[philxbx]
