[CharmedQuarkZ99]

Yikes !

[Maysey1]

This is some very nice picking Darryl. Did you learn this from tab or by ear? I'd love to give that arrangement a try. Really enjoyed listening, a must for my favorites. Thanks for sharing your talent and good words. Mark

[iloveyouemily]

Haven't checked you out in a long time on Youtube. If anything you've gotten much better. Great Merle song---post more.

[fngrpckr]

Thanks, I should have more posted soon! Thanks for watching!

Darryl

[iloveyouemily]

What's even more amazing is that Merle Travis played this song with only 2 fingers on his right hand. It's nice that you added a few new chops to make it fresh.

[fngrpckr]

Thanks, I try to make it a little different.

[dru42or3]

Very nice, love the tempo too. Is that a Fender Pro Junior? My Pro Jr humms a lot, dunno if it's just mine or not.

[fngrpckr]

Thanks! My 94 Pro Jr used to hiss pretty bad when I first got it. I put in a new set of JJ tubes. Also I read somewhere that you can change the polarity by quickly "blinking" the power switch. This definitely helps in my case. Maybe it gets better with time.

[jashobbsie]

nice job dude! great pickin .

[fngrpckr]

Thanks man!

[MrGospelGuitar]

You did a great job on that. I liked it a lot.

[fngrpckr]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[123toreirik]

super!

[fngrpckr]

Thanks

[fridrikur]

Loved the intro it was spot on. Note by note. Overall a good performance but I think you were slightly nervous. No need. I like the fact that you didn't rush this classic. What tabs did you use?

[fngrpckr]

Intro was from a Richard Smith tab, I used a lot of different videos and tabs to piece my version together. No nerves on this one at all, I don't like Cannonball Rag too fast, I like Merles tempo.

Thanks Fridrikur

Darryl

[fridrikur]

Sorry my mistake. What pedal is that. I think I know what sound you like which is similar to mine so I would strongly recommend the T-rex reptile delay pedal.

[fngrpckr]

Visual sound H2O. I've never tried the T-Rex but I will if I see one. I like the MXR Carbon Copy also.

[frankieloveband]

Love the pickin- great job

[fngrpckr]

Thanks!

[78peterlein]

[sometxdude]

Hey, can you give us some notes on what gear you are using? I like the tone. Amp and settings? Also, I've seen a lot of Cannonball Rag tab out there and I'd appreciate it if you could point me to whichever book may contain the version you just played.

[fngrpckr]

I'm using a Gretsch 6120-1960, a Visual Sound H20 echo into a Holy Grail Reverb, to a Fender Pro Jr amp. I peiced my version from a lot of different versions. Thom Bresh, Tommy Emmanuel Chet and Merle, and Richard Smith.

[DieAusWinsen]

and your guitar has a beautiful sound!

keep on groovin' and greetz from germany!
