Sounds like he might need something from the 600 series.

David, I think your lead guitarist should consider himself rather priveledged to play such a fine guitar! Tell him to quit his "belly-aching" or buy a 350 if the 325 is too small!
Look forward to your next vid!

Nevermind David, just keep doin' what you're doin'. I had a 320 a while back,sold it to buy a 360 and have just acquired Aitch's 350 - hell of a playing difference!

David.... real good job. You guys have the vocals and the harmonies which is more than half the battle.

I think with more stage time you will get more stage presence and will move a bit around more and look more like you're relaxed and having a good time ... more so than you do in this video. This is easier said than done, I know.... I always think I look way too stiff every time I see a video of myself playing. All in all, this vid = great job!

Hey .... How about your lead guitarist getting a Gretsch? Or a Gibson? IMHO, that Fender (or whatever it is) doesn't fit in visually with those nice Rics.

Yea... you guy definitely have something good going. When some band comes along and claims to have good vocals, you can always test that claim by seeing if they can make 'Nowhere Man' sound decent. You guys do that - and more.

However, so many bands (like mine for sure, and your's IMHO) could benefit from that old command to the Beatles in Hamburg to 'Mach Shau!"

David, great job. Harmonies are terrific, and the bass line sounds dead on. The drummer's good, and you guys make an excellent rhythm section! Bit harder to hear the guitars, but what I could hear sounded like the original too. Nice job! Let's see more.

David, what a gas! What a fun song for a band to do, and you guys really learned the parts, and held all the ends up well. I enjoyed hearing it. That song means a lot to me, more and more over the years. I did all the parts once for a 4-track home recording and was surprised at how fun that song is to play. You must have a blast up there when you play that one.

Why don't you make your own day-long studio video of "Nowhere Man" just to mess around and have fun with it? Its a good way to develop your band's identity, to see how each member contributes to the camera, and how you all fit together. Just a thought, but I think that would be great to see.

Thanks for posting these, David. Hope we see a lot more!
