Congrats Zurf on the new guitar, the B chord can be a bear if the action is to high I find that using my pinky instead of my 4th finger is easier when making a B type bar chord

I spelled his name wrong it is Dubey he was very popular in Africa and tragically was shot and killed in a car jacking. I am still kicking   this is a song of his that I like it is called "The way it is" I love the feeling of this Reggae beat hell I love all of the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPY0Seo-dWA

Phill I am playing the bass, drums, and acoustic +vocal I took the slide, harmonica, and keyboards from the original sound track . my acoustic is a Hohner  with a bridge pickup I do get a nice mix on the sound because of the Sony HD music cam it lets me go direct from the Tascam DP24  to the camera that has a compression feature and I plug my headset into the camera to monitor the sound and the sound is added to the video in the camera. This song took a bit of time to learn but well worth it. thanks for giving a look i am waiting on the mix and master service for my new song let ya all know when it gets back.

Roger, TF, Mojo, Jim  I first became aware of this song late last year, prior to that I had seen John Hiatt perform with Bonny Raitt on a  song he composed "thing called love" and started listening to more of his songs when I came across this song I loved it and decided to learn it. I do thank you all for your warm comments and yes TF the "juices" are still flowing. I have 10 tracks being mixed and mastered professionally on a song I composed a few months ago and am waiting for the results, if good I will send more keep ya  all posted on the progress. thanks again for your comments

Thanks, I enjoyed working on the progression it was educational adding my own tracks to this classic.

I understand it was suicide he shot himself in the head can anyone confirm this?

I had my van taken right in front of where I live in San Francisco all my new equipment was in it including a beautiful Magnavox tube amp with vibrato horror of horrors I was only gone for 3 minutes and the van was locked also two Pevy musican amps(the big suckers)  my van was found by police 3 days later and all the seats were cut to add insult to injury.

That is sad news to hear, I didn't know him as well as you Top but we did exchange some emails and chats my condolences to his family he was a nice guy.

I read somewhere that Segovia used to practice for hours every day well into his old age and the article pointed out he was the 1st to transpose classical music to guitar, I have seen several of his videos and can understand his dedication. Another guitarist I recall hearing was Sebecas(dont no the proper spelling) he played flamenco and was quite excellent.

I added a new Bugera 12" speaker and cabinet to my Marshall AVT 20 amp got a good deal on it at $159.00

Me like grunt this sounds like a perfect name for my new song "Grunt"

An all around good dependable and practically unbreakable choice is a Sure SM-58 for around $90 I have owned the same SM-58 for over 25 years and recorded and performed with it, roadies have used them as hammers for building stage gear (no kidding) and they still work but I wouldn't recommend that.
