As an aside.... since I first picked up this endeavor, I've learned all kinds of stuff. I'm pretty good at standard 12 bar blues progressions, and after some real frustration bar chords have become my friends.
Hi BBM !
Looks like a copy of the 60's Epiphone Texan. -A round-shouldered gem made right alongside the J-45 in the old Gibson Kalamazoo factory... I've never tried your later version, but I am a HUGE fan of round-shouldered dreadnaughts!...to wit:
Here's my '43 -
My '52 -
- and a recent (1994) bear claw knock-off by Dana Bourgeois.
12-bar blues progressions are a great start.
I used to tune in to "It's a Mean ol' World" - a radio program out of NYC back in the 60's, and I was for a time a blues fanatic. To this day, I credit it with teaching me how to
wring the mojo out of every note!
