[p4pking]

These aren't live or anything, but two of my favourite things ever written for the guitar. \

My good friend Johnny Francis. Not sure where this fits into your thread but he's the coolest mother fucker I know.

Still one of my favorites

Dope man, I can play that same tune myself Wish I had a proper steel guitar though.

If you really like that style, check out guys like Sylvester Weaver, Furry Lewis, Bukka White, John Hurt, Willie McTell etc. Legends.

super but this guy has so much damn reverb on there it covers up the first note of each little arpeggio almost. between that steel and the 'verb it is like being in the Lincoln Tunnel and hearing it bounce back at you in a millisecond time delay. Very good and interesting effect.

He is using a Gibson Dobro Resonator guitar acoustically, there are absolutely no reverb or other effects at all. The conical resonator plate on the guitar is designed to both amlify and resonate. They have been around since 1928. I have worked with a close friend who plays great slide and Dobro but his YouTube is down at the moment. Here are a couple track from an album we made together a couple of years ago called "Ghost on your Shoulder" which you can buy here

All the guitar work and lead vocals and song writing are his. Everything else Drums, Keys, Backing vocals ,percussion,Tibetan Singing Bowl,programming, production etc is me

nice and dreamy and dark.....like that 6/8 ride cymbal in Seven Things good work and nice piano there in the 1st tune. Dobro has nice flange effect it seems in the left channel on both tunes

@Greenbeanz - your man there is a Mark Lanegan fan, right? Good stuff

[Beanz]

Thanks @Fenster and @brocktonblockbust. The whole "ghost" album is a concept thing which flows from track to track with acousmatic and musical links in between songs, including some field recordings I made in Chichen Itza and other Mayan temples as well as here in the UK.The 6/8 thing on Seven Things really threw me at first. I am not a drummer ( I started off learning to play keys and then started performing as a bass player and singer ) so I struggled with that .The Mark Lanegan thing I am not sure about. I know Nick, like Lanegan, is a big fan of Leadbelly and a lot of the early Blues Pioneers as well as sub pop and Grunge acts, so he may well be. He was in an acoustic psychadelic band I did projections for, that I used to manually trigger from old VCRS on stacks of old colour TV's but when the band evolved into more of a punk/techno/psychadelic crossover thing he left to do his own solo and band stuff.
