Kim Ralls

Clapton may be my favourite guitarist, but that pink suit does him no favours... :-)

I can't really add much to the other comments - just wish it hadn't taken me over twenty years to get around to discovering this guy (not to mention Jimmy Webb's other work).

What gets me is that he isn't just going through the motions as some people of his age tend to do; Campbell very obviousl...

I agree with people regarding the vocal - I've heard better - but it doesn't detract from what is a beautiful song. He only seems to really struggle on the 'still on the line' where he has to hit and sustain that top note - transposing it down a tone or two would help, but it's his song and he ca...

Lovely.

If you want to test a singer's ability, stick 'em on a stage with just a mic and an acoustic guitar. It soon sorts the wheat from the chaff.

Bloody marvelous!

Wish I could have been there, looks like it was a fun night (you've got to love a band that has a song with the word 'boogie' in the title) :-)

Fantastic. Found these guys by (a very happy) accident and am now irrevocably hooked. Anyone know if they're bringing out a new album? I know they've released some new singles, but I've not been able to find any info (I've checked their website, but it has nowt).

Marvelous!

Wish Nightmare's albums were more readily available in the UK - bought Anima and The World Ruler from Amazon and Killer Show from CDJapan, but whilst the first two were quite cheap, the latter was nearly £30 incl p+p. Still, I might be heading over there next year, so I'll make sure I...

@mrfolkroots As another comment says, it's a tenor guitar. There's no hard and fast rule as to what tuning you use - not sure about Phil, but I know Martyn Joseph tunes his (from low to high) GDAD, the same tuning that Steve Knightley uses on his cello mandolin. Based on the chords, Phil's using,...

@Riighted Try using wider, light flat-picks (I use Clayton .72mm myself) you'll find it's easier to control the pick (and keep hold of it). I had the same problem until I started using these ones. The trick with this kind of strumming is to let the guitar do the work - trying to dig into the stri...

And I wasted three months complaining about how much snow we had over here last winter - even had to take a week off work... :-)
