My first... video?

[oldguy]

Well, it's not much, but I finally got something together...on the 'Tube.
Had a weird clicking noise on some parts... but I'm still learning, so... here goes.
I wanted to play with the Danelectro pedals and my Switch through the Traynor, so I just shut my eyes, clenched my teeth, and went for it.
To say that I was a little nervous is an understatement, but here it is, noise, glitches, and all. BTW, I gave a nod to TheFret, Dolphinstreet, and Robert in the description, hope that's OK.
I just broke it down into smaller pieces, and put the whole video on, I need practice and advice... suggestions?

Yahooo, oldguy! You got some great tones out of those Dano pedals. No advice to give you here. Everything sounds great. I don't know how to stop the popping noises you were getting, either, but from some of the YouTube vids I've seen, a pop here or there is no big deal.

Really cool jazzy, bluesy sound. I wish I had your chord vocabulary.

I even dug the overalls!

[M29]

Very nice oldguy! Sweet strummin and pickin. The guitar sounds Stratish at times very clean and toneful. Thanks for the demo and the playin, don't appear a bit nervous to me.

Suggestions, yes. More, more please. That tone is just killer -- so smooth. And your chord structures make me feel positively junior. My only suggestion would be to be bold with that kind of talent and tone.
That version of Crazy is a little different than mine, but I like yours better -- more bluesy. Where'd you get that, or is it outa your head?

[Spudman***]

Wonderful stuff there OG. Especially the Lowell George costume. lol I guess you got Halloween figured out early?

Lovely chord sequences.

[oldguy]

Thanks a ton, guys. I get so frustrated when things turn out sucky, but such is life. I'm new to video on the web, so it's slow.
Great to be your own worst critic, ain't it?
Seriously, thanks for listening.

[sunvalleylaw]

That is really great Glenn! Beautiful sounds as always. Been a while since I have heard some. Thanks for posting it! The only suggestion I would have is to show your face some more! The overalls remind me of a Buddy Guy album cover. (Feels like Rain, I believe).

[SuperSwede]

Hey, that was really cool Oldguy! I love that guitar

I also thought about Buddy Guy!

[FrankAxtell]

OG..your tone is very very good...my suggestion would be to listen to and transcribe stuff like Robben Ford and Larry Carlton...by the way ...I'm doing the same myself....also get together with good players, guys that are a bit better than you and do gigs or organize a jam session, so you can get the live interaction with a live rhythm section, so many musical things can only be learned by playing live with others...man your ready to play out...go for it!

[Justaguyin_nc]

Great to be your own worst critic, ain't it?

Man, and this the guy always telling me not to....

Enjoyed them all Oldguy... I don't see what part ya didn't like... hey, seeing there is audio... lets get some talk on which pedals ya was pressing.. or get fancy like robert and add those in with names appearing on the screen.. other then that.. this was a good time... thanks for shaing!

[Tim]

Great playing OG. I am going to study your technique and learn from your playing. This is what I have been talking about. A nice easy slow tune to study. Thanks.

[oldguy]

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated. Umm, let's see...
Glad the overalls were popular, lots of pockets and comfy for construction work.

helliot, mostly what I play (crazy, etc.) is what I figure out myself, so it may or may not be "right", but it's what I hear in my head. I think what you might have heard was me attempting Georgia, tho. Here's the other...

sunvalleylaw, I put my face in this one more, per your suggestion. I was trying to show my hands better before.

Frank, thanks for your input, I think everyone here has alot of respect for your playing/writing/production skills. I do usually try to listen and transcribe others, but more in the winter if I'm laid off construction. I usually only get home on weekends during the work season.

Justa, I will try and comment on what pedals are used, I'm still getting used to this video stuff. Plus I feel self-conscious in front of the camera, go figure. The above clip is the Corned Beef reverb and the PB&J delay into the clean channel of the Traynor YCV40, and the neck pu of the Switch guitar.

Tim, thank you. When I started this, I tried to show my hands better, as I said. I guess I'm not sure of a goal here. I'd like to learn more, so suggestions are welcomed, and I'd like to help, too, if I can show some licks that are useful.

And thank you all for taking the time to watch/listen.

[ted s]

Nice work OG ! Very smooth and relaxed playing.
A definite pleasure to watch. Looking forward to seeing more.
Finally a face to the coveralls

[250Keith]

Very nice! I will be stealing some of your moves.
I like the tone and I'm going to check out the pedals not bad for the price!
Thanks for sharing.
Keith.

[oldguy]

Sure, steal away. Give a nod to Robert for his help and expertise if possible.
I try to add a tag when I can. Still getting that darn popping noise...

Hey, pretty cool, OG! The pops weren't really as bad as you made them out to be. And the playing was nice and relaxed (I'd get all tensed up in front of a camera, I'm sure!) and sounded really good. Nice clean tone, and the pedals sounded good, too. Keep 'em coming! Maybe something a little more raucous, like maybe with a certain yellow pedal??

[oldguy]

That ZYS is in the chain, Voodoo. I just need some more practice and time to do it justice. I'm thinkin' I need one more pedal... a vibe or something that will do a good Univibe thing... any suggestions?
BTW, thanks for taking the time to listen.

[Robert****]

Nice! Man, you play some cool stuff! I did recognize some of those turnarounds... sweet!

I notice you do the hybrid picking stuff too. Works great, doesn't it?

What guitar is that?

[sunvalleylaw]

sunvalleylaw, I put my face in this one more, per your suggestion. I was trying to show my hands better before.

That was great! I think that is a pretty good compromise for showing what your hands are doing, and showing you. The photographer in me says the best shot would shift the frame down a little bit to bring your head up closer to the top of the frame. But that is just plain nitpicking from an amateur photographer.

As everyone says, I love your relaxed delivery. You must be a good golfer! Really nice to have you posting again. I always miss your presence when work keeps you away.
