Here she comes! The Black Diamond Express to Hell with Sin the Engineer holding the throttle wide open; Pleasure is the headlight, and the devil is the conductor. You can feel the roaring of the express and the moanin' of the drunkards, liars, gamblers and other folk who have got aboard. They are hell-bound and they don't want to go. The train makes eleven stops but nobody can get off - Vocalion advertisement for Rev. A.W. Nix's 1927 recording Black Diamond Express to Hell

Let the Mermaids Flirt With Me
« on: September 20, 2012, 08:39:16 AM »
here's me playing MJ Hurt's 'Mermaids'. While wearing a pair of quite comedy sunglasses in my kitchen. (well, I say John Hurt's mermaids, I don't actually play it in same position and it's kind of jazzy but still...)



In A, standard tuning, though I'm tuned down a semitone.My new Guild Jumbo seems to sound so much better tuned a bit flat, to E flat rather than E. Just sings more, everything sounds more resonant.

Anyway, I still need to practice it a bit more, have a few extra little riffs and details I'd like to add in, need to improve the guitar solo verse too. But, hey, constructive criticisms are very welcome indeed.

Hey Matt, I think you forgot to post a link to your mp3 or video?  At least I can't seem to find one!
