Man I love this guitar (amp is pretty neat too!). Enjoy!

What a cool guitar John. Great guitar playing too. Very smooth.

Thanks guys, I must have posted this in error though, I forgot that you can't play lead on a Rick.
Hi Tom, that's from my band's EP from 2008, you can download it here: http://thejazzfuneral.com/beatbyrd wrote:That's just great stuff all the way around. Please post a full length version. Tom

Very nice. That sounded similar to George Harrison's Chet Atkins/Carl Perkins style of playing. I take it "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby" was an inspiration?

Nice little solo there, JB !
Sounds real good.

I don't believe JB's lead work sounds anything like anyone else in particular Jake. It just sound like John's unique mastery of his own riffs and patterns to me. Maybe I have just got used to listening to his well honed guitar work though.

I commented on the similarities to George's rockabilly type playing. Everyone has his own unique style, and JB is no exception.

Yes I know..........but I don't hear the similarities that you do............I guess.JakeK wrote:I commented on the similarities to George's rockabilly type playing. Everyone has his own unique style, and JB is no exception.

Re: A quickie; One of my tunes, My '68 330, and my Vox AC4TV.
Thank you for the kind words everybody! Jake, I was never a fan of George's rockabilly playing, I always found it to be a bit half-baked and sloppy. If I'm gonna listen to that kinda stuff I prefer to go straight to the source, Chet or Cliff Gallup or even Setzer. I can't recall anything influencing this solo (which I came up with 6 years ago) but I believe I had learned "Sultans Of Swing" around that time so perhaps there is a bit of Knopfler in there.

+1! Sounds great, I'd sure like to hear more.beatbyrd wrote:That's just great stuff all the way around. Please post a full length version. Tom
'Course, I'm sure it would sound better with some other brand of guitar...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Thanks fellas, here is a direct link: http://johnbiscuti.net/music/annie.mp3
This recording (done early 2008) has prominent 5002v58 in the intro and bridge; my v68 with mutes engaged and lots of slapback echo doubling the upright bass after the 2nd verse; a 660/12 playing the solo (which I have come to regret; why I decided to use a 12-string is beyond me. ).

I liked the 12 string guitar sound John. I thought you did a great job with it.
