[mrmudcat]

Yes quite nice..........did you mention your setup???:confused:

[oldguy]

Good one, Cav. You're nailing those string bends now.:AOK: When did you get a Lucille model? B-day present maybe?

[bigG]

Sweet, man. Nice tone, too! Chicago blues tough sounding! :rockon:

[peachhead]

Wow, nicely done, Cav!

[baldgit]

Hey mrmudcat,
My setup is the Fender VG Strat and my Line 6 Pocket Pod straight into the computer. The VG Strat is on humbucker mode. Oh and the wah is a Behringer Hellbabe HB01.

Its not a flash setup, but yeah, thats the result.

Many thanks,
Cav

Hey Glenn,
Thanks man, yeah I'v been doing some practice on those bends, I was a bit off before with them.

I got the Gibson Lucille a few weeks ago when I came over to Nashville for 4 weeks (2 weeks of guitar, singing and stage presentation lessons). I needed a guitar for my lessons, and I really wanted a hollowbody or archtop style guitar. I was lucky enough that my grandma gave me a bit of a loan to purchase this beautiful guitar! I love it sooo much! The only slight problem with it is that the g string goes out a little bit when doing some string bends, but other than that its great!

Many thanks,
Cav

Thanks guys, I'm glad you all enjoy it! I recorded this awhile ago and just found it the other day and thought I should put it up here as I havn't posted clips on here for ages.

I'm really glad you guys are enjoying it.

Many thanks,
Cav

Nice track. The nut on your Lucille probably just needs a polish. I usually run some 1200 grit emery paper through the slot when my strings stick on bends. Just do it lightly a few times back and forth and follow it up with some pencil lead rubbed sideways across the slot for lubrication.

Hey Mark,
Ok, thanks man! I will definately will give that a go.

Thanks soo much for your help!

Cheers,
Cav

Very cool. Keep up the good work.:bravo:

[peachhead]

Hey Cav, where'd you get the BT and can you post it?

[piebaldpython]

Yo GM..........outstanding stuff. Really nice "hard nosed" style Chicago blues. You nailed this one perfectly.

Re your Pocket Pod......just curious........which amp/cabinet sims did you have it set on? Any FX used off the Pocket Pod? Nice, judicious use of the WAH. It pops in unexpectedly.
