That was great Chris! I'm sure this is the first time I have heard you play guitar, I hope it won't be the last.

BTW, can you recommend any "squeak free" strings for an acoustic?

Cheers,

George

Hi George, the best thing I discovered a few years ago was Kyser 'Dr Stringfellow' Cleaner/Lubricant. I use it on all of my instruments regularly and it keeps the strings in good condition. It's not expensive, if you buy it on-line. I even use it on the fiddle, but take care not to over lubricate the bit between the fretboard and the bridge. Otherwise, you get slippage and not grippage :)

@peakfiddler Thanks for that information Chris.

Great stuff. I think the third tune is "Whistling Rufus", an old ragtime two-step.

[peakfiddler]

@olmmbill - Great, I think you've nailed it. I have heard 'Whistling Rufus' played a few times in a session, but didn't know the tune title. I seem to have got it mixed up slightly with the B part in 'East Tennessee' Blues....Oh well, that's folk music..

Many thanks for your help...

Nice to hear an electric guitarr used like this. Great melodies and very well played! Thanks for posting.

@Thomasfiddle Yes, beats the sound of my electric shaver, any day....
