Only ever heard them before, never seen a video. Real variation there isn't there: 6 string, 12 string, 3 voices, and harmonica. Thanks for that Pete

Love that. It reminded me of the Boccherini that was used in the film Master and Commander. Is there a specific name for the era that this comes from?

Oops, not sure if I've obeyed the rules but I enjoyed the thought process.
Bob Dylan: It’s Alright Ma (I’m only bleeding) - the speed and the rhythm I still think is great.
Bob Dylan: Down in the Flood from the double Greatest Hits LP - the intermix of two guitars, I think one is Happy Traum.
Bob Dylan: Meet me in the Morning from Blood on the Tracks - first real recognition of Open D tuning, one of those tracks that I can listen to endlessly.
John Martyn: - May you Never. Once again, the rhythm and the slapping.
Django - I used to have a greatest hits tape, it always made me smile and sounded impossible to play. Difficult to separate it from Stephane Grappelli though I think.
Tampa Red: It Hurts Me too - A blues but not a 12 bar, along with that, some Furry Lewis and Fred McDowell.
Robert Johnson: Come on in my Kitchen. Open tuning, slide and that mesmerising, for me, break at the 14th fret. The intricate playing as well.
Muddy Waters: I can’t be satisfied. It sounds real.
Martin Simpson: A track on Bootleg USA. I think it’s a D Minor tuning with some Skip James lyrics “My mind is rambling like the wild geese from the west.”, also a lot of Bramble Briar
Steve Baughman: He does a lot of frailing of bluegrass tunes in what he calls ‘Orkney’ tuning CGCGCD - I think.
Most of them have a solid rhythm, probably some New Orleans music is missing.

Sounds a little bit like Chris Smither

“I quite like the way I’m playing it” “I enjoy playing it” Is right in my book
You could still learn it note for note, that’s up to you

Hmmn, this could open up a new a new genre of post postmodernist music. What is its error handling like? Does it crash if you ask it for e.g. computer generated AI music created in 1830 on Dartmoor sung in the style of Frederic Chopin from 2048 - or similar. This could be a new game. I'll get my coat

Interesting first couple of minutes where he describes his technique or 'picking style'. Master luthier apparently, a lot of big 'names' have been on his waiting list. Clapton had to wait years is the story. Good friends with Doc Watson for years. Interesting and a new one to me although some of you may already know of him. Steel Guitar Rag

That's a bit rough on the fish, isn't it?

I don't know if this will be of interest to people, I often stop listening to this sort of thing after about two minutes but this was, as it says, a real history lesson. Interesting what he says about his Martin Dreadnought that he got when he was 15 years old: to paraphrase, "you realise the sound is really nice so you play it a lot - that's how you got good". That seems the right way around to me, as does a lot of what he says. He also talks about the change of build by Martin after the 2nd World War and how the sound changed - interesting. The way he talks, he has the same view of the sixties that I've always had - I wonder sometimes if I was wrong, but apparently, I wasn't. Eric Thompson

That's great - I left a comment. A sad thing - change a few of the words and a similar sentiment can be applied to the Post Office sub postmasters 35 years later i.e. today.

Beethoven Charles Wesley Bob Marley Bessie Smith
We'd form the Charlie Wesley Blues Band and sing Redemption Song with a nice piano break by Ludvig.
