Felt really down all day today so just started learning one of my favorite guitar tunes to fight the sads.

Electric or Acoustic? And are you interested in studying? I'm a former touring pro. I'd be super glad to give a few lessons to keep my chops up.

acoustic fingerstyle these days. thank you! I actually teach and gig already in my local area :D

Hells yeah! What kinda rig do you run? I go direct at this point, no more carrying amps around for me. My biggest dumbest rig was a Mess DC-5 and Marshall 36 watt.

if it is a small enough venue, usually playing my iris jumbo size guitar or gibson banjo with fingerpicks is sufficient for volume without any additional amplification. Otherwise just a single mic thru the pa system or i can use an external pickup if necessary. Haven't had too much issue with feedback or anything, really. Big reason i gravitate to acoustic instruments(have certainly dipped my toes into the electric world) is simplicity is comparatively nice, haha

Do you have a favorite go-to? I haven't seriously played guitar in years, but sometimes pick it up to play "Hocus Pocus" by Focus just to remind myself I know how.

I dated a Dutch immigrant through high school, and Focus and Golden Earring were legitimately the best way I could connect with her parents.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Golden Earring fuckin rocks! I'll die before I say Radar Love isn't the shit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Golden Earring

I have all their albums, under rated band

John Fahey is my go to! He wrote a lot of stuff in open tunings that just bring me a lot of joy to interpret in different ways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRyne6rjF1g here is a good one
