  1. One of my favorite things in life is to find a trail or path I haven't taken. I wandered the world for years while in the army and locally wherever I happened to be. Woods, desert, mountains, shoreline, suburbs or city, I love it all. While listening--repeatedly--to Roy Orbison sing You Got It, youtube listed the usual assortment of follow on temptations. I noticed "Amy - Pure Prairie League (Cover)" with a cute girl singing. I've always loved that song, not so much the covers I've heard. But hope springs eternal. I enjoyed the cover! The band was called "Foxes and Fossils." Well, why not try the Crosby, Stills and Nash song listed next: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes? I never gave a hoot about artist or song names, much to my current dismay, but I instantly recognized this one. I listened and almost fell off my chair. Outstanding! Fantastic harmony, soloing and and some rippin' guitar. I guess Graham Nash emailed Tim, the cover band's creator and organizer and said: Great job. https://foxesandfossils.com/project/suite-judy-blue-eyes-crosby-stills-and-nash-cover/ Foxes and Fossils have a website at https://foxesandfossils.com I ended up listening half the night since I was off work. Everything sounded good. I listened to many I didn't know. I still don't know who Adele is, but now I know Rolling in the Deep. This didn't fit the new guitar music topic, so I started down another trail. Rock On (Rolling in the Deep)

  2. PRS CE24 in Burnt Amber Smokeburst. Love this guitar. Easy playing satin neck. Superb workmanship, including the fretwork. Wide range of great tones. The only thing I dislike is the size of the strap buttons. They're way too big. It took me 10 minutes and I worked up a sweat getting a strap on, lol, but I'll take care of that tomorrow by installing strap locks. I think she's a beauty!

  3. I didn't know how to title this post or even how to describe them. I wasn't even sure whether to stick it here or in the "Technique" subforum. His weekly YT videos aren't about technique. There is no discussion about how a flattened 7th gives the groove a blues sound or such theoretical or technique points . No, in fact the title of this video is probably representative of his discussions, "It Don't Mean a Thing if it Don't Swing". His videos are always, what I will call, fun, philosophical, historical rants. He calls his videos "nerdy" and they probably are, to an extent. Every one is filled with names that I wish I had the time to purse. This one is no exception. Billy Preston, Cornell Dupree, James Gadson, Mike Landau, Wah Wah Watson are just a few he references this time. This time he stresses the importance of becoming a "crate digger" and you'll have to watch this to find out what that means. I don't need to convince anyone what a monster player he is. Joe Bonamassa calls him one of the greatest players he has seen and had him on (I think) the Three Kings Tour. I got a chance to meet Kirk and talk with him on two of the Keeping The blues Alive at Sea cruise. We had even talked about a possible lesson on the ship but, for reasons I won't go into, I backed out. He always is as jovial and happy as he seems on here. These videos are always short, 10 or so minutes, so not a huge time investment. And I think you will enjoy.

  4. Phil- Some great music came out of bands in the 60's & 70's..... I grew up listening to Pure Praise League, Poco, The Byrds , The Eagles and CSN&Y to drop a few names. I got to see some great bands growing up just north of San Francisco. The Bay area had its share of great music back then. It is is fun to reminisce and remember the good old days. I have to smile when I see videos of a young Vince Gill with Pure Praise League! Thanks for sharing. Mike

  5. That's a beauty Mike. Congratulations! I have an SE 24 that came quite unexpectedly in one of those Sweetwater closeouts. It plays so easily and feels so sweet. I plan to eventually investigate Fenders and Gibsons, but only because I'm adventurous. My two PRS guitars are sweet. Enjoy.
