You can and that fixes the bending issue but the sound will still have a little springyness so it won't be a full hard tail.

Thanks, glad to hear. But let me point you towards Tommy Katona to really learn it properly because I do play the division of the first lick wrong...

I am all hat no cattle for sure but glad you enjoyed the video :)

Thank you so much!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you!

Why yessir it is and old timey Tom Selleck on a pillow :D

Do you mean what I played on the IV chord? It was basically just picking different A chord shapes - an idea that originate's from Elvis's guitarists. But I am available for skpye lessons if you wanna get into this stuff.

@@BluesWillisMusic​​⁠ no I was referring to the flat picking . I wanna learn that part. Specifically the part from 0:24 to 0:29 was cool. I’m not sure what it’s called technically in musical terms but I think it’s flat picking right ?

Estralitas are cool! Glad to hear you came up with the same shapes, these make sense to me but maybe other find it easy an other way around. The best thing is like you did, sit down and map it out for yourself and of course try different fingerings and shapes.

Depending on what you are looking for in a hollow body. But yes the 335 has the center block and also is way slimmer. So the Gretsch is closer to a regular acoustic.

Maybe it comes out differently but the main difference is in the midrange.

Thank you, I thought the same thing: everybody makes the same Open D videos and I wanted to give something more usable or deeper.

Thanks :)

That sounds just crazy enough to work wonderfully!

I get this question a lot because for a while now Mule only makes tricones but they used to make single cones. I know because I took off the cover plate and checked. If I had known people will bug me with this I would have included a picture in the video :D

That's Swamp Dog Blues by Mike Dowling. You can buy Mike's DVD on Homespun where he teaches it note for note or I think you can get the tab at sheetmusicnow. But the DVD also comes with tabs of course.

The mule has a slightly oval neck that is said to mimic the shape of a human hand better. But I don't really feel that big of a difference, I like the V neck on my National and Waterloo, so it might just come down to preference. The "big thing" about the Mule is the "raw" neck. They use some sort of treatment like oils I guess but there is no lacquer. This is a huge craze nowadays. These two things are behind the playability regard I think. But personally the Mule neck kinda feels like a paper straw. Other love it, I am not so much. And I had a gun oil treated Fender neck as well. I am perfectly happy with the satin national neck. So there is a difference but ultimately more in preference than being better. In my opinion.

I understand and you are right. In this case I recorded this little intro as background music to a drone video of the SRV statue in Austin. And I thought I put up the tabs for my Patrons. But if you want to learn SRV from the best person to teach it, look up Tommy Katona and Texas Flood.

Thank you!

Glad you found the video.

Glad you found it, and found it helpful.

Squiers are indeed with checking out. I have a baritone tele with P90s and it's great.

Thanks you! 6th string 12th fret .100 1st string 12th fret .090 on a stewmac sting action gauge I am also using a 13 gauge set with a 15 gauge string for the 1st string. Sometime 16.

I am leaving the lowest string open and capoing the other five strings to get a drop D tuning. Instead of tuning the 6th string down a step, I capo up the others.

Resonators are acoustic guitars so the same principles apply. They need a medium height action at least to sound good. Of course of if you are playing slide it can benefit maybe a little higher action but does not have to be high. If you have heavy gauge strings on the guitar the action can be medium. I'll measure mine and answer your other comment..

Glad to hear, this is exactly why I made this video.

Unfortunately this is more and more the case: you buy a guitar and you have to spend an extra on not just a setup but various luthier work.

@@BluesWillisMusic definitely not a good trend. Fender brand doesn't mean anything anymore? Looks like they need to streamline on quality. I understand that they don't want mexican fenders to be as good as American ones but this is just ridiculously bad compared to what competition offers. Perhaps they should only focus on premium guitars and leave cheap stuff to Squire

I am sorry free stuff on the internet isn't 100% percent what you wanted :)

I agree, both have a unique sound and thanks for watching!

It's ladder braced so it is one of the big differences and I mention it some point on the video. I played both the X and L braced WL-s and to me the ladder sounds way more "authentic".

I actually really like the tweed with the strat much better than the deluxe.

The resonators do have a slight banjo feel because of the similar technology.

Glad to hear!

I only heard lazy J-s and vintage tweeds in videos but they are sick indeed. Would love to be near one some day.

A long horn azt that from Texas yes.

Thanks a lot Jack, I am fan of your channel and especially like listening to those real guitar talks at night walking up and down with my baby. If you mean the cabronita, that's an upcoming video, however I've been meaning to do a video/lesson on the B and G bender tele too.

@@BluesWillisMusic congratulations! I’m a dad too. I’ve watched a lot of KZbin videos during the midnight pacing myself. And thanks for the kind words!

Agree 100% on both counts!

Interesting.

Your order is 🍑 backwards!

@@BluesWillisMusicto say the least! I think his ears hear exactly opposite of most.

It is a complex topic but probably the hardest question is how to make a living by handcrafting guitars and keep the price down.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks, greetings from Hungary!

I am in Open E tuning.

Thanks a lot, appreciate it!

Sound awesome!

Standard tuning. The best way to learn anything SRV is from a guy called Tommy Katona, look him up on youtube.
