Oh my the tone of that guitar is something special.

Just before the first lockdown I saw Gordon Giltrap in a gig at Barnoldswick of all places. It was downstairs in a club and only held about 20. No word of a lie I was sat directly opposite about 5 feet away.
He brought about 6 guitars with him one of which had a very similar tone.
My mate who is a semi pro guitarist said he was the best technical guitarist he'd ever seen play live.
It was a gig I shall treasure forever.

Sounds like a title for a new thread mate …. My best gig ever !!!

The guitar I just finished is a flamenco Negra
Complete with peg head tuners like the ones in this clip

Indeed. My younger brother is a percussionist and introduced me to his music. We got the fortune to go and see Paco live when he was touring the US and it was a truly amazing show.

Very nice! How long did it take you finish it?

Bit whacked out. Just changed the bedding - there must be an easier way of putting a duvet cover on! Having a rest at the moment to recuperate, then get it in the washing machine. Hope all is well Messy.

Nightmare job. I'm just working up to putting ours back on.

All in all about 8 weeks

I was a big fan of John McLaughlin as a "yoot" and found Paco through the trio w/ them + Al Di Meola back in the day. As a woodwind player, I had a lot to learn about the music. I knew what I liked, though.

I've always been a sucker for anything played with impeccable technique and this level of mastery. People used to accuse me of shallow ears as a result. They can just kiss my fat patootie, I say.

Have you tried the California roll?

Have you tried the California roll?

I tried that I ended up inside the duvet cover and the duvet was under the bed

Have you tried the California roll?

Thanks Sassy. Will have to practise a bit at that. I think there is a lot that can go wrong in the end bit when everything gets tucked under! lol

Have you tried the California roll?

That sounds like fun

Will have to have a go at that. The cat likes to supervise. She may end up rolled up in it!?

It does take a bit of practice but have no fear my friend you can do it, even if the first time your roll looks like a stuffed burrito lol
