Frets with DJ Fey
Добавлен 14 мар 2009
Welcome to Frets with DJ Fey. No lessons, no technique info. I just talk to people who play guitar.
Syd Straw
It was a wonderful experience talking with someone I've admired for so long. I love her songs, I love her voice. And she’s just incredibly cool. In additional to her solo work, there’s such a long list of great bands and artists she’s performed with.
A list that includes - Pat Benatar, The dB’s, The Del-Lords, Dave Alvin, The Golden Palominos, Marshall Crenshaw, Van Dyke Parks, Vic Chesnutt, Wilco, Richard Thompson and many more. Syd’s debut solo album Surprise featured a lot of her pals from that list and her second album, War and Peace was backed by none other than that fantastic and much-loved band from Springfield, The Skeletons. I hope you’ll enjoy listening to this episode as much as...

You guys are only ok, you do need 4 guitars. All you need is one good one . Or 2 maybe 2 average. Well good luck.
Thank you for your work on the vintage line of Crate tube amps I recently acquired the Palomino V32. You’re the reason Crate finally did something right.
I’m the proud owner of a Pak 2. Great amp , I love it.
Carlos Leandro da Silva Alves. Porto Alegre Rio Grande do Sul Brasil.
Band is featured in the Beatles gear? They got to go to Abbey Road and 69 and they discovered where the Beatles kept their instruments and they got to look at them and probably pick them up and all that.
It’s such a wild story. Was really great to talk with Tom Hartmann and hear the background on how it all came about. If you haven’t picked up their album “Resurrection” yet, it’s so good. Or at least listen online!
Brian Henneman and John Horton from The Bottle Rockets.
Well done. 🙂
This is remarkably good. Great work, mate! Thanks for sharing.
good cover, keep It up. I do covers in spanish, I would like to know if you want suscribe and share my channel of RUclips Biconii
dave cool playing of mother nature's son! like 4!
Thanks much! Wish I could sing in a higher range, but I love playing this song.
Nice!
Could you please play “South of Heaven” by Slayer?
I’m on it.
Deep cover and deep music.
How old is this footage? Is it you when you were a kid???
Sorry for the delay in replying - I think I was either 5 or 6 years old. Already a Beatle fanatic. And dressing like Pee Wee Herman long before that character existed!
In 1964 when I was 5, my 13 year old brother bought me a Beatle wig.I was wearing it and my mom went nuts and made us take it back to the store.I think it was about 69 cents plus tax. Now in the original bag they go for about $100.....Shoulda bought every damn one of them and put em away....We still laugh about it
not an easy song to ply and sing. well done !
