I think d'Addario Phosphor Bronze 12s.

It actually took a hell of a lot longer to get the finger bit done...

Oh, interesting! Your finger style was so smooth. I’m not even a guitar player-I’m a drummer trying to teach myself bass-and I still find using a pick much more easy and natural. But I’m trying to learn both styles.

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if I got one at some point.

The 50s one may be even sweeter.

Yes, it's from the 'inspired by Gibson' range. Specifically the 60s Les Paul. Slightly more juiced-up pickups than the 50s ones; the 60s neck pickup is the one in the bridge position in the 50s one. I got it to have something with a bit more oomph.

@@jamescaseymusic it's comes up as Wendy but call me Jase

Why

I cracked up, totally unexpected! 😂

I have it also lmao it’s like perfect to travel with but man did I really start to hate the sound, I bought a Boss katana 100 watt with two 12s, night and day difference 🤣🤣 the boss is an absolute monster!!

It has been really rewarding doing the songs with them. More so than when I did a single in 2021, because although a couple of others were involved, it was under the banner of 'James Casey'. I find it more enjoyable as a band.

The VA500? What colour? Never owned a Vintage though did buy one for someone once. The SG, as it happens.

@jamescaseymusic quite thick gloss black

@@jamescaseymusic it's actually pretty chimney and clear sounding

@WendyWalker-k4h the 335? In videos? Or have you been able to play one?

I've listened on here but I've seen one or two here and there you know....

Thank you. It's one of my favourites for fingerstyle, not least because I'm amazed I can play it.

@jamescaseymusic poor old Edwyn can't play anymore of course....but in his prime he was the all time God of all things rhythm .

Thank you, I really appreciate it. This one was a big deal for me.

@@jamescaseymusic i hope you get more views, you deserve it

😊 I get to do music and that's the number one reward. This song was my only actual official single release, back in 2021. Doing another one in December with my old band mates. That's what it's all about really.

Good idea, just tried it. Makes the move to the A a bit of a jump but sounds good. Octaves always remind me of Cherub Rock by The Smashing Pumpkins.

At some point I will have to get or play a Fender for frame of reference but there isn't anything I would change. I got the action lowered and I think it's actually too low, a bit buzzy, but it sounds amazing for anything other than string bends.

@@jamescaseymusic i put 0.10s on mine that helped was watching Johnny Marr yesterday. He uses 0.11s....

@@jamescaseymusic I like positions 1 2 & 4.. the others middle and bridge I've got other guitars that sound a bit sweeter.....

@WendyWalker-k4h I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the guy who had my Rickenbacker before me got it set up for 11s and that's what I have on it today. Otherwise I use 10s. I find 9s unwieldy.

@@jamescaseymusic no I don't like nines....too light... don't tune that well...don't stay in tune.....I use 0.10s cause they're the best compromise between playability and intonation....

1988. I know. It looks like 1878.

@@jamescaseymusic awesome, looks worn in just how a guitar should look

No 😊. Working on a Christmas single with my band Ether City. Others maybe to follow...

I bet it sounds amazing.

@@jamescaseymusic it does sounds lovely but it's the easiest to play

None. I'm straight into an amp pedal, the Two Notes Torpedo CAB M+, on preset 9 which is pretty Vox-like.

Yes, I see what you mean. I misread this and thought you meant the most recent song I posted, which weirdly enough also sounded a bit like it. So maybe I just do them all the time.

È vero. Ma non sono il primero proprietario.

Couldn't agree more, open strings sound so good on a Ric. And yes, Burgundyglo I think!

Thank you very much. Happily, not too difficult to play!

Thank you very much, I was particularly happy with the sound of the guitar, I don't feel I've done it enough justice recently.

I had COMPLETELY forgotten about the tapping, I had to watch the video to figure out what on earth you were talking about. Thank you for the kind words, it's one of my favourites of my songs as much to perform as anything.

I gave it a clean recently which brought out some scratches I didn't even know were there. There's a lesson there somewhere.

So for a cheap guitar it’s work?

david gilmour has used one of these his entire career, that's a big reason to use a dyna comp

@@Asorey_06and not just Gilmour, many other awesome guitarists used comps, like John Frusciante

It's Open D. D-A-D-F#-A-D.

I think it's 1988 judging by the serial no.

1988?! My god, man… I have a 1979, and it looks nowhere near as rough as that. 😄

@@jckistan Yes, I see what you mean, very similar.

At the very least it's a similar picking pattern. The pattern is based on, though not the same as, the one Donovan taught McCartney and Lennon in Rishikesh. Features on the White Album on songs like Blackbird, Dear Prudence and Julia.
