Re: "New Music" Well-Played..... (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
........ always brightens my day.
These guys are another example of what I mean. A cello used as a bass guitar??? The 2 guys in the middle never cracking a smile as they perform those little dance steps, and the lone banjo picker in the back ---- Great musicianship blended with a bit of comedy is just one of my favorite genres!
I enjoyed that a great deal!
I've seen cello used in live performance in that manner twice before, and both on the same night. It was a group show night at Tin Angel in Philadelphia. It was kind of like an Open Mic night, except it wasn't open. They had acts signed up in advance. It was a terrific musical night. Anyway, two of the acts had a cellist who used one of those straps and added an amazing dimension to the two person performances with them. In each case, the other musician was playing guitar. The cello & banjo combination worked better than you'd think it would if someone described it to you.

Got a chance to catch up on Neo's posts. Good work. It seemed like you weren't as familiar with the lyrics on Don't You Want Me Baby and Those Were the Days as you usually are, but you were on key and the guitar work was good on both. I thought you got a groove going on Those Were The Days, which was really cool because that's not what I'd usually think of as a "grooving" song. It's all about the groove!
But please clean the lens!

neophytte ... all good, great to get input from people so we can grow and learn
Right on! That's what this forum is all about - trying new things to find out where we can improve and have fun doing it! Shoot, I'm still working on Jack and Diane from April. LOL. And Smoke on the Water - which I'm just about to a point that it's as good as I'm going to get it, which is not good at all. That scream singing is totally foreign to me, and power chords nearly so.

Re: How Do We choose a Guitar? (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
As for cost, I consider that a separate question. First, I have to "choose" a guitar from out of all the guitars out there. As to whether I purchase or not, that's where cost comes in. But for me, the choosing comes before the "how much is it" question. The only guitar I've got that had a price I liked is the one Topdown gave me.

My Mom's favorite artist, perhaps in a tie with Johnny Cash.
I like his approach to music. Play it loud, keep the lyrics simple, and don't sweat the technical stuff. His approach has had a big impact on me.

Vince Gill at his home studio. He has a few guitars. https://youtu.be/ImE5k_OoMIY
What I like about this is somebody asked him about his most valuable guitar, which he pulled out and tuned up. Then someone asked him about his favorite "go to" guitar, and he handed the most valuable guitar to the closest person to play.
