It kills me every time I go online to look at vintage gear and see this toolbox abusing these vintage guitars. He shouldn't be allowed to look at this stuff, much less play it. The saddest part is that someone has decided to hand him all of these vintage instruments to define and continues to poi...

@sirpromixalot I agree that Olson was better off out of the band...or that the band was better off without him. I saw the Jayhawks live back on the Sound of Lies tour...awesome show. I've seen Golden Smog. Awesome show. Then I see the "reunited" Jayhawks with Olsen and it was boring. Low energy a...

I have an Eastman Pisano. Much less prone to feedback, Ricky. The sound is very similar to the 810 acoustically.

Your site is awesome! Thanks! Great playing!

@MrPeguin666 How about, "To each their own." I think that George would've been the first to say that keeping it positive is probably the way to go.

You, my friend, deserve a 66 Tele...and that's saying a lot. Wonderful playing!

That set rules!

@pauldaj Isn't Iyer a physicist? I think that's his background.

I love Paul Desmond and Joe Pass and The Poll Winners...and I think that this is fantastic. I celebrate the past and embrace the forward movement of music. Iyer is one of the individuals who is moving jazz forward. Hey, when Charlie Parker started out people said he wasn't playing "real" jazz. Yo...

Sounds great! Are you using rounds or flats? That would be a lot of bite for flats.

I like this version but Pigpen was rolling in his grave at that cheesy synth-tone keyboard solo. This had to have been Vince-era because Brent never would've done that and Bruce Hornsby sure as heck wouldn't have either. Ick.

I like it. Reminds me of Cat Power.

@BigRedKountry

I thought it was Mississippi John Hurt. Maybe it's just traditional.

@bloodblaster

You can't but I think it's:

You're always on a different stage in a different state

playing the same hot licks

you haven't changed your style

Are you famous?

Always in a different place at faster pace

singing the same old lines

you sung a thousand times

Are you famous?

This is awesome. I generally don't comment. I live in NYC and have played jazz, blues, rock, you name it all across the US. I don't often come across this kind of quality. Fantastic all around.

These guys are great but is this ska or Afrobeat? I think this is more Fela then Desmond Decker. Great freakin' musicianship no matter what...and that Tony Allen-style drumming is tight!!!

@Santi66

I have D'Addario Chromes on my Fender P and my Fender Mustang basses and I think they sound and feel great. You get used to the tension and the sound is fantastic. My only complaint is that you can get a lighter gauge for long scale than you can for short.

John Mayer is an amazing guitarist and singer...but should not whistle. Let Andrew Bird whistle.
