My Tribute to Luther Perkins

Just a mediocre slide show with audio of me playin' Luther Played the Boogie. I thought it would be kinda dumb to make Luther supply the music for his own tribute, so I went out and did it. The rhythm and lead was played on my new Fender '50s Esquire. And of course I sang. Not the best singin' or guitar playin', but I think Luther would've wanted it simple. RIP Luther M. Perkins.

lerb21, you should try to play that trucker tune "Staring At the World Through a Windshield" in the Perkin's style.

Hey, Great video lerb21! I love playing along and synchronizing the sound of my guitar to yours through ought the song :)

[hectorsalina]

You're a good guitarist, try not singing and just playing instrumentals like The Ventures. You ever heard Don Wilson of The Ventures sing a vocal song? I have and that's the reason The Ventures are an instrumental band!

somebody asked Luther why he played so few notes when everybody else plays more, he said

"the're looking for it,I found it"(paraphrased)

Great. Yes, Luther would want it kept simple. Since you're more of a Don Rich type, howsabout comin' out with Happy-Go Lucky Guitar. Really sounds good on a Fender.
