The old expression says, 'simplicity is only the absence of clutter', it's not a substance. That's all, right?... The timing's harder. The less notes you play, the harder the timing. When you're playing quick it's just eighth notes so they're all even. Syncopation is created from the space - Jerry Ricks, Port Townsend 97
I just thought that folks might list what guitars they have out and are playing in these times.
I'll start. In my livingroom I have out at the present:
1) refinished (red) early 30's parlor with cream MTS pickguard 2) 1933 Gibson L-00. black with firestripe pickguard 3) 2013 Gibson Keb Mo model 4) 2014 Martin 00-28 custom shop 5) 30's Style 1 May Bell labled American Conservatory of Music Inc. 6) late 30's Regal mini-jumbo. Body sort of like a Kalamazoo KG-11 with thicker body.
Acoustic Slide on a motley ass't of catalogue quality ladderbraced parlors - Stella, Silvertone, Kay and Supertone ... Fingerstyle on 2 Breedlove spruce tops ... Electric Slide on Airline bobkat, Epiphone Les Paul ll and Wildkat...
I rediscovered my Martin 000-16 which had been "maturing" (i.e. gathering dust) gracefully, unplayed, for the last ten years. Wow, what was I thinking neglecting to play it for so long. With the dust blown off, even with old strings on, it sounds and plays great.
We're both fully vaxed-up and looking forward to music camp in the Catskills starting July 5th for a week. The 000-16 is definitely going with me.
