Willin

Run for the Hills! Shady Bob sings in this one! I went to Stringalong Weekend in Wisconsin and heard a guy named Mike Williams play this cover of Lowell George's famous truck drivin song. Got him to teach me it. I have modified it slightly from his way of playing it, just cause I like it more that way. Recording Volume is crappy, voice ain't the greatest yet either.

I really like the slide lick on the 2nd verse. What is the tuning?

[rschader]

It's just Open G (DGDGBD)

[Pelter1]

Not bad! I think you were holding back. Is that a Fender reso? One of the better versions of "Willin" on youtube and I've seen them all.

[rschader]

Thanks for your encouraging words! I've only been singing along with my playing a little over a year. Don't feel like I'm quite where I need to be comfort-wise when singing yet, so I probably hold back because of that. And yes, it is a Fender reso.

That little lick you do at 01:37 is pure magic. Nice job.

Bob

nice job man that fender resonator sounds real good

1 yr shit man I've heard some people who have been playing for 10 , 20 and even 30 yrs that are no where near as good as you

i just started messing around with bottle neckin'

you got the playing down pretty damn good

you just got to work on your vocals ,basicly just your volume

stop holding back

keep up the good work

Hey Bob It's great to hear this great song. I'm a great Feat fan and Lowell is one of my most favorite slide players.

You done this tune justice my frienA big 10/10..Peace..Jake

Shady Bob...you rock my brother. Put up some more.

[truthero]

sonny landreth would, but I doubt he'd be watching, leastwise not for pointers.

[ThomasPopp]

Beautiful.

EXCELLENT! cover of Mr. George. Who really cares about the voice man, you make up for any vocal abilities in your playing on the guitar. Well done!
