[@snakehips81]

Thanks ! It does sound busier/fancier than it really is. Each note in a chord is emphasised a bit more individually by playing one slightly after the other, than strummed together. This fills out the sound more - but I'm just staggering the individual chord notes out. Plenty of hammer-ons, pull-offs AND letting open strings ring out between notes and/or during chord changes - so that something is always happening. When you break it down, it's not as complicated as it seems, ONCE you understand what I'm doing BUT trying to explain it makes it sound even more complicated than it is !! Keep playing - because it all adds up to a be a better player.

With so many videos on KZbin a disappointment due to musician who just want to pose and are vain this is a perfect example of someone who I could listen to over and over again, what a perfect voice playing a wonderful bell brass instrument well done my friend kind regards Pete

[@snakehips81]

That is very kind of you to say so. Can I just correct you on details of the guitar though. 1. Bell brass is not actually a "thing" ! Bells are made of bronze, not brass. Some National guitars were made of brass (then nickel-plated, and sandblasted over a stencil to create the famous Hawaiian scene - like the Style O, nickel-plated brass model, being the most well known). Bell Brass was purely a phrase used much later on, as a sales phrase, to make the guitars sound more musical - but it's technically incorrect ! 2. The National Duolian guitar model I am playing, is famously made of sheet steel (and painted over, with the cool Duco crystalline pattern paint finish). The steel body gives it the extra clangy, growl and fat tone, compared to a brass body National. The steel bodied, painted guitar models (like Duolians & Triolians) were generally cheaper models originally, compared to the more expensive nickel-plated brass Style O, and German Silver bodied (also nickel-plated) Tricone guitars. All the best !

[@peterharris550]

@@snakehips81 well sir fantastic information, I never new, but some of the cheaper models do not have that ring to them in my ears, I play a all I can afford wood body dobro which is nice to look at but is lacking and could never achieve the classic sound, in any case you enjoy your wonderful instrument and entertaining us with that voice, ps thanks for the information kind regards Pete 🤓

Great song, great guitar, great voice mate! Well done

[@hedgeearthridge6807]

It's both surprising and unsurprising to see a Scotsman play and SING the Blues so well. After all, the Southern American accent plays a small part, which came from the British/Scottish accent. And Britain had a huge love for the Blues in the 50's and 60's, which is how Rock and Metal came into existence. Pink Floyd was originally a blues band if I remember right. Shame Britain has lost that.

You need to listen Frankie Millers Full house or the band Nazareth, or maybe the truly great funk of the average White Band amongst others to know that Scotland has had a lot of bad ass blues funk and slide players and singers over the years.

If you've seen scotland, you know they have true blues to sing.

Wow ! Many thanks for those comments !!

[@aniquinstark4347]

Man, I cannot thank you enough for making this video. You got me into resonators which was a huge revelation to me because I was a Strat guy and had never cared about acoustics because I strongly dislike the super warm sound of normal ones. Now I use a biscuit cone Gretsch as my main guitar for nearly everything. I love the sympathetic resonance and harmonics, and especially the bright tone. I'm even playing stoner/doom metal on it using a Lace ultra slim humbucker; you wouldn't believe how badass the feedback is when you bring the guitar close to the amp, it's like nothing I've ever experienced, even when using a LP through a Marshall stack.

[@snakehips81]

Thanks ! I'd love to "hit the road" but I've got a young family AND a day job (I'm a Dentist !). I do gig though - solo, duo/trio, and play piano&organ in a 5-piece blues band.

[@ivandamico93]

snakehips81 you play piano and a mean guitar, youre a dentist with a family, probably a lot more, Ive got 2 degrees in I T Networking, published 5 books and won the Calufornia music awards, I keep telling people its not hard to reach your goals, just TURN OFF THE T.V.! I am amazed at how difficult it is for people, now I have my first art showing in 2 weeks, congrats on all your success, i subbed , youre bound to have more! outstanding technique on Elmore James Im about to go to your lesson vid to see if youre in open D! did you write your own interpretations ? I hear subtle liberties but theyre good ones, more like how jimmy page plays Elmore James, still rockin though!
