Brandon,Andy,
Snakes are cool, kingsnakes rock..........now we can talk guitars and Zep.
I've never tried it in open G before......I'll have to give it a go. I'm pretty much a "hobby" guitar player, playing only for the personal satisfaction. I just never seem to get much better (!).......I think some people have it and some don't, but the important thing is to just do it !! I usually try to do things the hard way, but since I have a Trilogy multi tuning bridge on the guitar I built, I'm always open to trying a familiar song in different tunings. That one chord that is slid at the end of the phrase....dont recall the name...but its hard to move to it quickly....you know the one. If I could get that one down I might do the song justice.
Bottlenecks/slides !! I've got about a dozen of them collecting dust at this point !! Just cant seem to get the sound right, and my dog threatened to leave me........so.
Would be nice to be the owner of a vintage Gibson 12 string !! My wife keeps my guitar budget very low, so I doubt I'll ever leave a store or swap with any kind of Gibson.
Andy.....I'm into the "Seattle" sound too, though probably not as much as someone like yourself (ie young, still hip). Its all good, though I agree with your statement about where music is headed these days. Still some diamonds in the rough out there though.
Brandon, Andy.......feel free to e-mail me at wsurftoga@aol.com anytime, we all obviously have herps and music at least somewhat in common, and I'd love to hear more from each of you.
(And I'm always looking for people to send pics of my guitar to, I'm kinda proud of it..........hey, hey what can I say)
