I had the great pleasure of jamming, drinking, and dining with Zurf tonight.  SOTM duet was recorded and we had a blast. If you get the chance to hang with him I highly suggest it.

What could possibly go wrong?

With scotch and strings, not much.

If you can play a major scale, you already know all seven modal scales as well.

While this is technically true, knowing how to play them and knowing how to use them are very different things, agree? I can play locrian up and down the fretboard.  Using it in a musical way? No idea.

Zurf we got these?

Vince Gill was in PPL for a bit when he was a puppy.  There's a great version of Amie on Yt with him singing lead.

Was thinking the same thing.  I'm not nearly as close with him as y'all but hope the two of them are ok!

I'm not sure I understand the question. The only nuance as far as I'm aware is less notes to miss. smile Maybe lower string tension given shorter string length.

Glad this was bumped as I missed it the first time around. Sounded great! This is also one of my favorites but a song I've never attempted to cover. You've inspired me to give it a shot!

AMIE!  Despite spelling my name incorrectly, this is still "my song".  LOL!  With everything that they do, I never would have guessed the chords would be so simple for just one person to play.  wink

I was shocked too. I'm just starting to learn it for a new project and it is really straightforward. Lots of flourishes but super simple chords.

How about Dylan's The Man in Me, or Amie? Links below.

Welcome back. I have lots of family a bit southeast of you in Altoona, and my father used to (I think) work with Clarion Sintered Metals in your hometown. Glad you're back to stay!

My next "planned purchase" guitar will be this Squier Strat, which sells for just under $400 new:

They call it a "Vintage Modified '70s Stratocaster" and it has Seymour-Duncan pickups in it. I would expect there'd be some differences between this and the +$1,000 Fender version, but for a hobby guitarist, I can't imagine needing the higher end one. Steve Rothery of Marillion tours with this very same Squier guitar, and it sounds fantastic.

Other then the name on the head stock I don't see a to much difference between this and a strat

The number of 0s on the price tag

Hope Zurf sees this. As I recall he gigged on the bass for years.
