Thats how ya do it! I haven't heard of this guy. Great player but his sound has too much processing going on! I much prefer that raw tele tone when a picker plays like that!

I agree he's got too much "stuff" on it. A Tele is like a good steak. It tastes great right off the grill so no need to smother it with barbeque sauce. The kid can sure play though. A nicely crafted guitar instrumental I think. I wish I could buy his right hand.

J7, I really like Brad Paisley's tone! It is a little dirtier than some country players but dang the tone he gets out of that Tele and Dr. Z amp just really sounds good to my ear!

And another vote for too much "stuff" going on with his processing. Waaaaaay too much compression for me. I was also bugged by his timing in a few spots.

While I"ve got my red pen out....we all have played solos that were mapped out and there's no sin in that, but I don't think it should SOUND like it's all been scripted. This song sounds too much like every move and every note is mapped out.

Oooh Peg you are tough today.

Yes I think it is totally mapped out and a non-improvisational guitar instrumental. A very different animal from a John Coltrane improv adventure. I appreciate both and I think he is true to the style and form of a chickn pick'n shred ala Roy Clark, Brent Mason, James Burton and others.

It's human and certainly not perfect but a very fun little romp. It's cold and gloomy outside today so I need a little musical pick-me-up. This made my day!

I had to turn on the air cond. in my office and out in the shop. We have had the a.c. on at the house for the last week. I have been wearing tee shirt and shorts for a week now (at home). The weather forcasters are saying winter may be over for the upper Texas gulf coast!

Record cold temps in LA last week so AGW is definitely over.

HA! Sorry, I certainly didn't intend to rain on anyone's parade, J7. Yeah, I get that about it not being improvisational but my point is that it shouldn't SOUND like it's all been laid out. He is good and it's an alright piece i suppose, but it just left me a little cold with it coming off (to me) as so "calculated".

Guess I'm a little cranky because the weather is pretty damn cold here in Southwest MA! When IS spring????

It is spring here in H-town. I guess you guys will have to wait for Punxtawany Phil! Not sure if I spelled that right?

pretty chilly here in mid-mo. i'm getting ready to load the car up for tonight's gig. thankfully i'm travelling light w just a bass and a cpl of mandos, small bass amp, and roland cube 60. they were calling for freezing rain this afternoon but luckily they've moved that up to 3:00 AM!

oh yeah...this thread's about wally the tele guy! feh. good right hand and not a bad tune but too much compression and not enough grease for me. and yeah...some little hinky time issues in there.

would i mind having his right hand? hell no!

Funny, I was sort of reading between the lines in Peg's post and thinking quietly to myself that maybe there was more than a purely musical critique going on. Peg seems pretty refined for a young lass and I thought she might have issues with any musician who's other signature piece is called "Cow Tippin". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqbef6y9LEs


Ha, I like the kid. He's rough around the edges and has a lot to learn still but he's got something. Reminds me a bit of another young guitar slinger I knew about 30 years ago.

Blow me old man!

Haha. I kid. I kid! Me "refined"? Nah. I smoke, cuss, drink, talk too loud, etc. Well, ok...no, I don't smoke.

Hell, I like it when girls talk dirty!
