Steven Knechtges, Police Dog Blues

[Fruscianteistheman]

This certainly wasn't anything special, but good job nonetheless...

From a long time blues musician i would say you over simplified the song a little too much. The picking and overall change in the song detracted from Blake's unique style and bounce. Good luck with your future musical endeavors.

Brilliant! Did you ever learn the Ry Cooder version?

[knechtges]

Thanks, I did attempt Ry's version back in early 80's with little success.

Hey thanks karmabobby!

[palmerjackson]

Very nice. Is that a D28? And if so, did you raise the action on it a bit? I just raised it on mine. Love your stuff. I'm going to work on this one and get it down.

[knechtges]

It kinda looks like one doesn't it?

Actually it's a 32 year old Takamine, they copied the Martin.

I should probably raise the action a bit - I could probably play a little cleaner, but I'm so lazy I don't even like to change strings :)
