Rickenbacker Ramble

Playing a Rickenbacker 330 using my fingers

[@guitarist_smith6283]

I've always used finger and not a pick. 12 strings are a bit of a challenge with just fingers though. That song you played, to me, very reminiscent of the style and sound of The Young Marble Giants track "Posed By Models" from the Test Card EP from 1980.

Yes, I see what you mean. I misread this and thought you meant the most recent song I posted, which weirdly enough also sounded a bit like it. So maybe I just do them all the time.

Beautiful tune.

[@jamescaseymusic]

Thank you very much. Happily, not too difficult to play!

[@strumbolli]

Love that sound!

[@ChrisBluntMusic]

Unmistakeable sound, is this an original song or a cover?

[@jamescaseymusic]

Original, I only do my own stuff.

[@standingbadger]

That's a lovely Ric. Late 70's-early 80's?

[@jamescaseymusic]

1988.

@@jamescaseymusic its beautiful, and equally beautiful playing too

[@jamescaseymusic]

@@ferris5150 thank you. I'd love to pretend I got it right first time...

[@MajesticMage]

[@ekrem6303]

That song is soo familiar

Beatles- You wont see me

[@jamescaseymusic]

Are you saying the sort of middle section sounds like it? I can see that, the chord sequence behind the tune is close.

[@Spaceman2921]

i konw it's meant to be vintage but please clean all that slime off the headstock

[@jamescaseymusic]

It does need a clean!

[@Spaceman2921]

@@jamescaseymusic But it can't be too clean because that's not cool. It's a fine balancing act. Either way it's gorgeous and I'm jealous.
