Arlo, What kind of capacitors are in the tone circuit in this guitar. It sounds fantastic.

[kennosen1]

You are good! awesome!

[shannonlehn]

Thanks for your appreciation of ARA, no one comes close to their brillance, well maybe a few, but it pains me that they are so underrated! Long live ARA! BTW i'm 31 and was raised on their music, THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robert

[namnoiz]

Sweet sounds!!!

[FUNKIFRIED]

Awesome man, absolutely awesome...

[dougsc1]

What settings did you use on your Flextone to get your sound?

[AOGBP]

I've always been a fan of Amazing Rhythm Aces and this song and still am, but i'll be dang if I don't like your version better than theirs. That was really good.

[doneaster]

Wow!! Is that Telecaster really made out of just plain old pine wood. It sounds fantastic?

I really like the way you made this song your own.

[oldschoolwax]

Yep, that's pine and Arlo is the man!

[Magik1369]

Great tone, great song, nice cool guitar playing.

[meegel]

how do you like that el dorado pg? im probably gonna get one, just wondering what you think of it. ive heard it feels more like plastic than leather. sweet song by the way.

[you1986tube]

i love the spanish sounding bridge from about 3:17 to 3:35. the guitar sounds awesome, but when you've given your life to music you can make any of your instruments express your very soul - in my opinion.

[fungoo989]

Arlo...you are my new and brilliant hero. There are very few who are in your class. I can't wait to put my hands on my piney!! You are to be admired for your talent and your generosity.

Dick Wagner

[alphabetazulu]

[MsMaxblue]

[charliethunderfoot]

[sandzy69]

[cawboybutterball10]

I believe that was from the Amazing Rhythm Aces "Too stuffed to Jump" album. Very fine job!

[Lighteye67]

Beautiful guitar tone...well done!

[StratmasterD]

Before I hung it up 18 years ago, this was one of my favorite songs to do... but I never did it like this! I only wish I could have... The Aces were always under appreciated, it's good to see someone with your level of talent showing them love & respect. Love that soulful, gritty vocal too! Keep pickin' and I'll keep listening. God bless!!!

I stopped listening to country music a long time ago but man this song is cool! And being a Tele fan and player of one I really enjoyed the Tele sound you rang out of yours. One question-what amp did you play this song through and any pedals?

[mortatort]

Very nice, I've been listening to some of your other stuff posted on your website. You're my new favorite artist. You have a new fan in Florida..

[krypton0341]

Hi Arlo,

You knew me when I was just a small tike. Debroha White (lamson) kid. Just wanted to say love your sound and glad to see you on line. I work and live in CA. Out of the Marines and now a CHP officer. Will try to catch a show next time I am home. I ride motorcycles and I think you have a great Harley open road sound. Keep it up and please write anytime. You can find me on facebook.

Chris the Croc

[arlowest]

Hej Christer du gamla snarkning man!

Ja, låt oss göra en turné i sommar bro. Jag fick en gratis flygbiljett men jag måste boka flyg före juni 2009 så låt mig veta när brorsan? Jag ser fram emot att se er alla igen snart. Lets göra hela bandet Feedback, Johan, Greggar och dig. Call me dawg!

[respectiveperspectiv]

GREAT

[BrettValentine]

That was sweet playing! Checking out your Keystones (just got around to picking up a Tele and am looking for THAT sound. How are you liking them under your fingers?

[DeputyDoug829]

Awesome version of this terrific Amazing Rhythm Aces song. Thanks for sharing it with the world!

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Had to watch this one again... I still love it as much as I did the first time :) Great work!

[pixiemixer]

Great playing Arlo, keep it up.

[nhra83]

what do you think about his playing?

[gaelicbanshee]

Arlo --- please check you MySpace add requests. Would love to have you in my arsenal. I go way back with you to the Austin Generic Joe days ---your debut in Austin. I was there and loved it. Jesus Just Left Chicago and Too Much BBQ and talk of a "too heavy" '79-ish Stratocaster you (and I) once owned. Dr. Bluesman

[GeoffTX53]

Arlo, The Byrd has "flown" but he still fly's through your fingers! If he were still here, he would be proud of your interpretation of that classic song (my favorite Aces song)! Russell Smith should look you up! You got that Aces thing goin' on! I've been playin' for over 40 years ... I could never find anyone who wanted to play their tunes, can you imagine?

[arlowest]

Thanks Geoff,

Byrd was a great player and it was a sad day to hear of his passing. Ace's have always been very high on my favorite list. I would love to play this one just once with Russ and the band live! What a fun song to play lead on for sure.

[timmyd541]

Thats really good man do you think you could send me the tabs for that i would really like to learn how to play it. thank you

[arlowest]

Tim I don't have the tabs for this one sorry. Just do what I did when I was a young man many years ago. Learn it by listening and studying Byrd's technique. We had no Internet back then just an 8 track player or a record player!

[Bobnoxious]

VERY nice guitar: The Pinecaster. Also, some very tasty chops! I enjoyed the whole video and was highly impressed with the playing.

[nhra83]

Not bad for L/A Maine. He Arlo, you know Tim Treadwell?

[skibum1999]

whoa nice playing! what amp are you playing through?

[arlowest]

LINE 6 FLEXTONE III XL!

One fine amp ;-)

[bsnyder45036]

@arlowest Wow, I have a Flextone III Plus. Would you mind sharing your settings for what you did on this tune?

[neatfreeek]

damn this song is so great, you have a great voice and sound and i dont need to tell you that your amazing at the guitar cuz you know it lol

thank you for your time

[rocker53zero]

Great playing buddy. That was fine picking, mighty fine!

[jessicacollett]

great stuf man i like it country dad

[texasbluesjmo]

Man, This has always been one of my favorite tunes!!And you popped it man, Byrd would approve!!I've heard a lot of attempts, you're the Man!!

[stan2211stan]

Arlo, I was just on TDPRI - on another "Arlo Thread" and I hadn't heard this since the week Fuzzy turned me onto it. Needless to say it's been favorite'd. Thinkin' about goin' up to Digby for some scallops on the cheap.

BTW - NICE Pinecaster!

[Craigman65]

You're Incredible!

[lukatme2]

That is some wonderful playing!! Everytime I listen to this I pick up a guitar and end up playing for an hour or so.

Thanks Arlo

[BlingDogg01]

I don't listen to country, but damn! that's a cool song, I love your guitar tone. I'm going to get those keystones for my tele. nice playing

[rocker53zero]

Theres country and theres the Amazing Rhythm aces. They were a head and shoulders above anything else in their field and still are. Those guys could turn their hands to any kinda music.

[Odoki]

Sounds awesome, love the pine Tele.

[bobinchains4452]

I think its a HITT!!!

[bulbheadmyass]

I'm in love.

[a13xtazi]

WOW GOOD!!!

[neatfreeek]

[1BarefootCowboy]

The End Is Not In Sight is a great tune along with Third Rate Romance. The Amazing Rhythm Aces rock and so do you, dude. Good job!

[Stratomite]

Love the Pinecaster tone dude, very cool.

[tigercap100]

[zanatany974]

What a sweet song! And what a killer tone!!! Simply the best tele tone i've heard so far on youtube!! Jesus i have to get these bill lawrence pickups!

[DebofOz]

Hey this song brings back memories from the day! Though I am still hungry tired and cold, I can still rock it!

[montcalmwolfe]

COME EAST .

[Zorisx]

Very beautiful and funky tunes you got there, can't wait to be able to play like you one day. Killer Pinecaster and very wise choice on the Bill Lawrence pickups =D -Zoris

[Crosstin]

You make country cool.

[PlasticNerd]

Very nice! Love the sound of that Piney! Reminds me of Amazing Rhythm Aces!

[sjirk]

[Heartagram246]

Bill Lawrence rules.

[Sejemh]

Grnde chitarra ancora + grande il chitarrista!!! complimenti per la tecnica e l'armonia

[bjarmstrong2]

Nice sound, Arlo! You're still the most versatile player I know, Brother. From that good ol' heavy metal back in the 80's, your natural ability for the blues, the very unusual celtic sound you played with to this CW sound. Very nice. keep doing what you're doing!

[2000fxd]

kick ass! mike goddard and dave p

[nkgates]

Thats awesome... you should do an album

[xofbob]

Great guitar playing, nice song. I need a good guitar player to do my cw song...search: xofbob see what you can do with it.

[wtw100]

You remind me of the late Hughie Thomasson of the Outlaws. He was the best!!

WT
