Re: Some Blues with my new Guitar
Thanks all for commenting the tremolo is really fun to work with I am still getting used to the bass and treble mix on the guitar which is the reason I chose a easy blues to play but practice is always the answer Beamer don't know about surf music but I recall doing a few one of them is "Wipeout" also some old Duane Eddy or Link Ray's "Rumble" I go back a ways 
thanks again everyone

What is the amp setup? This sounds almost Strat sparkly....
Re: Some Blues with my new Guitar
Russell, wish I had your talent. The loop is so cool, I'll have to learn how to do that.

I have finally found happiness in my life. Guitars, singing, beer and camping. And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Great stuff Russell!
That's a great looking axe. Love the slide .. I gave that a couple minutes' attempt and just got noise and never got back to it. Maybe this winter...
Thanks for sharing your work!

BGD I use a PA amp Phonic 100W with 2 12" speaker cabinets My Boss ME-50 provides the effects I think the sound quality is because of the pickups they really do sound nice and clean this Douglass 2000 is exceptional in everyway

Jack the loop is my Boss 20-XL loop station I also use a Boss F5-6 foot switch it allows me to switch up or down thru all 13 loops one other thing is its fantastic practice tool my setup cost a few buck but there are less expensive models that will be fun to use and help you develop your potential

Thanks Jim using a slide at first is tricky you have to put the slide on the fret not between them it just takes a little practice

BGD the guitar in this photo is the basic Douglass Shadow CSB a funny thing when I ordered this they shipped me the upgraded Douglass 2000 the only difference is the side trim on the body and neck so I don't know if they made a mistake or just upgraded the order but the pickups and everything else is the same

Re: Some Blues with my new Guitar
That Douglass Shadow is a beauty. I listened to your song early this morning, loved it.
