Vincent Black Lightning (1952) - Jim Bruce (1950) Cover

[Ramblindanhammond]

is this in standard tuning?

[jamekir]

@Ramblindanhammond Starting from the low E the tuning is CADGBE.

[FraJa1980]

The first one is a Vincent Black Shadow i think, wrong seat for a Lightning.

Cool song and very cool bikes! Two thumbs up Jim!!

[evsynator]

Wouldnt even think about doing this ..... excellent choice and very very well done !!!!!!

[fecklessmovies]

Strange coincidence Jim - I just bought the album this song's from, then 2 hours later looked on youtube and there you are playing it! 

[acoustictravellersl]

@fecklessmovies Spooky!

[IdahoLeLe]

Haven't viewed in a time, great playing as always. Cool video too.

[EstebanChurches]

Cool suit, Jim :-) Your knowledge of the blues is astounding. Great guitar playing.

@EstebanChurches Hi Sven - long time no see. Hope you are doing well down in Spain.

Cheers

Jim

[starrchild99]

Well I enjoyed listening to your rendition of Vincent Black Lightning Jim and I also enjoy your sense of humour! As long as you keep them coming I will be here listening.

Congratulations !!

Always thought Richard Thompson ex Fairport Convention wrote this song? English Motorbike, English singer song writer, or am I missing the point here? nice rendition b.t.w. great stuff! :-)

@Lansdownekid Yes, 'course he did - that's why his picture and name appear at the end of the vid. It's also mentioned in the description. I didn't put it in the title, as Youtube would probably plaster ads all over it.

Thanks for the comment - 'preciate it.

Cheers,

Jim

That's a fine motorbike song Jim. I'd buy that lesson; I'd give you a quid just for the tuning. Now, how about 'Wellington the Skellington'? (You could get a whole English thing going, and instead of just being the stylish bluesman in black, you could be the Englishman in sandals and socks as well...)

[acoustictravellersl]

@GilhamBob Yes, good one - I'd call myself Deaf Boy Hernshaw from the Derbyshire Delta. The tuning is C-G-D-G-B-E

Cheers

Jim
