    Hello from Spain

    I am primarily a keyboard/piano player these days--I *love* guitar, but arthritis in my hands ended my guitar-performing days That said, however, you and I must be "twin sons of different mothers": the PMG and Jeff Beck are at the absolute top of my list, as well You've have likely watched Jeff...

    The Naked Truth (song)

    Well conceived, played, sung, arranged & produced (and the sax-oid garnishs work nicely due to your economical & idiomatic execution) Admirable result, Reid

    One of the most attractive aspects of the Nat "King" Cole interpretation is the orchestral arrangement, particularly the entrance of the strings at around 1:31. Typical Nelson Riddle excellence. . . . but when "Autumn Leaves" is mentioned, I immediately think of this Billboard has this list

    12-string guitar or Nashville tuning?

    Before arthritis forced me to stop playing guitar, I had two Rickenbacker 12s: a 360/12 and a 620/12 (both Mapleglo), so just curious which electric you ended up with (The guitarist in our band bought an Italia 12-string at the Orlando Guitar Expo a few years ago, installed Jason Lollar...

    Do some lyrics just sound good separately from their meaning?

    This is a tricky one: "good" is a predicate adjective whereas "well" is an adverb. Ergo, the way one feels (health-wise="good") as opposed to the acuity of one's tactile sense (="well") I am torn when singing the bridge in "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy" (Barry/Greenwich): Manfred Mann's version (as you...

    Violin, guitar, former band director, songwriter-geezer

    Grew up in SRQ -- chances are we had lots of acquaintances in common Wonder if Jimmy is any relation to Joe Bruno, fine musician/bass & double bass player who still gigs in the Sarasota & Venice area (I think he was in the Navy Band) Great to have you on the forum, Bill

    A song and an amusing story

    Thank you for posting the song. . . Do you recall at this late date how the over-dubbed/"lead" guitar was recorded? Perhaps DI right into the board?

    Thematic Albums

    I hadn't thought about strictly original content necessarily, and the Sinatra references are apt. Same for Buffett's decades-long party Indeed -- I also looked up Cash's At Folsom Prison set lists and found several numbers nodding to being behind bars Absolutely, good call(s)

    Thematic Albums

    At the time of its release (26 May 1967), Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was described by some critics as being a *thematic album (but I did not see it), as was Pet Sounds (I suppose that other than "Sloop John B" and the two instrumentals, the other songs were about the pangs of young...

    Since I've been focusing on songwriting, big collections of VIs (Komplete, etc) have lost appeal (REVISED)

    Hey, Reid ~ You're of the vintage that you likely remember the game show Concentration, where the host (Hugh Downs?) would say, "Similar, but not matching" I can directly relate. When playing guitar (more on that in a moment), I approached it with a "song" objective/goal/target, which (as you...

    What are you listening to?

    A love song in an odd time signature: Here is an old one by Sting, this time featuring Vinnie Colaiuta. I have always gotten a kick out of the (unusually self-depreciating) lyrics
