YOU JAMMY BEGGAR having a private concert with the man himself. I'm trying to get him to play a gig in Cornwall soon...said he'd never played there before...watch this space!
im typin in a comment from my mates page.. i used to live in londons camden and johnny lived in the same house as me. the room next door and as far back as 1989 i used to get to listen to his blues for free and all i had to do was mind his bass guitar in my room. lol.. a big old double bass.. and from that ive loved the blues ever since.. at the time he was in paul lamb and the kingsnakes.. but he left.. mik.. dublin..
Sure, this guy is great. Met and played with him in his workshop. About the tuning. Simply tune your guitar's last (thickest E) to D. there you go. Now, about the slide parts.. man this is his greatness, I mean he can play so well without using much proper slide tunings..(he uses alot DGDGBD) .. his slide is Diamond.. he told me to use combination of light guage strings on bottom 3 and heavy top 3. Hope this helps...happy playing.
Beautiful guitar. Awesome playing. Just wondering, how much would a guitar like that run me for?

beautiful guitar man, what bracing did you use? ladder or x bracing? (or maybe a kasha!!!!!!?) the sound is even and exquisite.

How weird, i just saw him a few hours ago supporting Andy McKee on the same date you recorded this 27th May.
i have to say, he was great.

Hello Kevin,
Sure, this guy is great. Met and played with him in his workshop. About the tuning. Simply tune your guitar's last (thickest E) to D. there you go. Now, about the slide parts.. man this is his greatness, I mean he can play so well without using much proper slide tunings..(he uses alot DGDGBD) .. his slide is Diamond.. he told me to use combination of light guage strings on bottom 3 and heavy top 3. Hope this helps...happy playing.
