Nice work as always sir. I don't want to hijack the thread but I was considering trying dobro. Have you ever played a round neck upright like a regular guitar (I think they call it spanish style)??

Re: OLD DOGS NEED LOVIN TOO

Thanks Geo yea I have but it feels more comfortable laying flat and I'm gonna improvise and make a stand so it lays horizontal probably from an old heavy mic stand just got to figure out how to do it but necessity is the mother of invention smile

Re: OLD DOGS NEED LOVIN TOO

Truth be told Russell.... Blues is surely your genre!

  You could make a career doing Blues music, if you weren't such an up-beat guy.  The loop work is coming along nicely as well.

Take Care;

Re: OLD DOGS NEED LOVIN TOO

Thanke Thanke Thanke Doug smile the blues dont always have to be slow I like the upbeat feel more even if the story is about losing or troubles it just kind of clips along and makes people want to dance and have a good time and forget there troubles for a bit,the loop pedal is almost another instrument in itself but once you work with it and naturally read the manual everything falls into place I still have some smoothing out to do so I keep practicing with it till its second nature just like learning scales or any chords difficult at first but with time and practice the rough edges disappear smile
