Sorry about that, gents ... how's it look now?     

That's awesome, Zurf ... wish I'd been there! Did you do "high fives" with the congregation on the way up the aisle?

She's terrific, CG ... another excellent post! I noticed she sometimes uses a Telecaster (single coil pickups) and other times uses a Les Paul (humbuckers). Blues musicians don't often use humbuckers, but she really gets them growling.     

Thanks for watching, CG ... of course you're 100% correct about the pickup, as using the Looper and other effects would be impossible without electronic routing of some kind. I like that Mr. Dawes uses effects sparingly, so they don't dominate but rather enhance his performance.     

Thanks, gents ... and I appreciate the great advice about the need for perfect timing. Here's the kind of creativity (featuring Tobias Rauscher)  that has me drooling:

Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM)    "Impressioni di Settembre"    Giugo, Italy, 2014

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omjsZp5UfnA

Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull once proclaimed PFM (Marconi's Award-Winning Bakery) as the best prog band in Italy, and the combination of their talents and on-stage passion really underscore that remark. Formed in 1970 out of Milan, Italy, they have enjoyed international success and a substantial global following. Their odd name was borrowed from a bakery in the small town of Chiari, under protest that it was too long. Their answer was that if it was hard to remember, it would be just as hard to forget! "Impressions of September" is from the first of their 33 albums to date ... enjoy!

Great song, Jeff, and it evokes a lot of memories from my favorite places while growing up. My goofy side was immediately reminded of the famous Yogi Bera quote:

"No one goes there anymore, because it's too crowded."      

Mike Dawes    "One Man Periphery"     (original)

Mike tastefully employs his Loop Station to layer various bits of this beautiful piece. And one can't help but notice his long fingers, as if they're dancing to the music while playing it.     

That's a cool looking unit, Zurf ... and the Fender Rumble amps are quite decent for the price (I've had my 150 for a few years). I saw this one color Ibanez has for the SR300 called "Black Planet Matte" which is really eye catching:

Steven Wilson    "Refuge"    Royal Albert Hall, London, 2018

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ9qSA6JYgo

I've had a lot of Wilson's work up in the last couple of months, and have been gorging on a fairly steady diet of his music. This one is powerfully emotional, and reflects Wilson's philosophy on his "To The Bone" album, intending to reduce the musical complexity a bit, and to emphasize the the message content more. "Refuge" addresses the plight of refugees fleeing a violent homeland, only to find further heartache and despair where they thought they might find refuge. Wilson's vocal performance in this one is as good as I've heard him, and I find myself humming it on a regular basis. The dual guitar solos between Wilson and Alex Hutchings - backed by Craig Blundell's thundering drum riffs - is simply mind-blowing. Lot's to like here, and I hope it moves you like it does me.

Welcome to Chordie, Dangquan!

We know there are a lot of people who use Chordie everyday, to find chords & tabs for their favorite guitar songs. Some of them join the Discussion Forum (like yourself) but most don't. That's okay, but we're always glad to have people join in our different topics, offer advice, make suggestions, and ask questions. I've been here for over 6 years now, and Chordians are some of the friendliest and most helpful people I've met in the music world.

Glad you've joined us ... stop by often!     

Thanks, Topdown ... I've also been very please with Justin Sandercoe's material. I did a quick scan through some of Rick Beato's material, and I really like the way he teaches. It'll be fun to spend some time learning from him. Appreciate it!
