    Default I'm new and I play the guitar (VIDEOS)

    Hi everyone. I've been playing blues guitar for more than 20 years now. I've just found this forum and I'd like to share my music with you.

    I recorded these two tunes a few days ago.

    1st - My rendition of "Mr Sandman", fingerpicking style, a Chet Atkins' favourite.

    Mr Sandman

    2nd - My arrangement of "Misty", a jazz classic.

    Misty

    Both are played with a Gretsch Nashville and a Fender Deluxe Reverb.

    I hope to be a regular from now on, now I'm officially a member. Congratulations for a great place for guitar addicts!! See you around.

    Welcome! Really nice stuff! I love that Gretsch sound too. I myself am trying to learn (on a beginner/intermediate level) jazz oriented blues arrangements, chords/voicings, and conversely, blues orient jazz, along with a bunch of other stuff. I look forward to having you involved here.

    I almost got a Gretsch but got a Hagstrom Viking for now instead to get into that territory a bit.

    Very nice playing quique. If I could fingerpick like that, I'd run right out and buy a Gretsch today. Welcome!
