Really nice

[@osidejosh87]

You are a really good teacher, I believe you nailed it on all the sounds reed plays in this song

[@OldSchoolBluesGuitar]

Thanks! I wish there was more film of him and his guitarists to study. There is only one that I know of - a thing he did on a houston TV station - pretty drunk it looks like. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJm1i5uXbLp_jck

I bought the same Joe Pass Epiphone in California at Dusty's guitar Kingdom $2,800 plus tax in 1987 before I even knew about Guitar Center!! Guitar Center has them right now for about $850 is that about what you paid for it

[@nickchaser]

Great!

[@OldSchoolBluesGuitar]

+Nick Florent Thanks! To me, the Jimmy Reed/Eddie Taylor stuff is among the best ever recorded. It's so simple yet filled with creative variations.

[@cherokeedave5560]

First song my dad taught me. What kind of Epiphone is that?

[@canadianrodder]

That would be a Joe Pass Emperor II. Have a leftie myself. Been out of production as a leftie for quite some time.

[@randymartin88]

@@dontgoout1434I know that stuff is rather common in music recording but where did you find that info?

thanks for the lesson

[@rockyeasterline348]

Also mine is a korean-made but everyone is telling me Korea makes a great aftermarket guitar

[@dontgoout1434]

Wrong mate sounds naff as your adding stuff jimmy didn't play and wrong type of guitar for jimmy reed

[@hughcameron]

Can't agree it's naff. It sounds good and the guy clearly loves the music. You can play it on any guitar. You are right the lead lines are, of course, Eddie Taylor who I was lucky enough to see on a tour with Doctor Ross and John Wrencher and I can't remember who else.
