    There are far too few people in this world that even know what a Nashville metal bodied guitar is or how it was meant to be played. Damn few people.
    Thank you so much for your take on it...
    I mean that very sincerely.

  • @KeniLeeBurgess
    @KeniLeeBurgess  11 лет назад +4

    Thank you for your comment. Certainly not Bluegrass, but more of a country folk blues approach than a hard bitten Delta rendition. Enjoy.

    blind willie Johnson is the greatest of the blues gospel singers ever. he was a genius ahead of his time asking in the 40s is a man only in his mind or if he had a soul something beyond the body.
    I love the guitar in this piece and the voice even a terrible singer like me can contribute a few bum notes too
    thanks guys

    It's great to see people keeping the old blues alive. There's a place reserved in heaven for you. I always like to encourage young people to go and listen to the original song, in this case by Blind Willie Johnson. Then you can appreciate this version even more.

    To me, Nothing defines delta blues like the resonator guitar. In the hands of a good player the sound is heaven like.

  • @KeniLeeBurgess
    @KeniLeeBurgess  10 лет назад +6

    No. A resonator guitar has an aluminum cone inside that creates the vibrating tone similar to how a banjo uses a skin to produce it's unique sound. Thank you for your question.

      Thank you for your kind words. This style seemed to resonate with me. (sorry about the pun). I guess this accounts for how it gets expressed. If the performer feels it, usually the listener will too. I guess it simply cannot be forced.

    Im often distracted by the many forms of blues... and that's a good thing too..... but whenever I land on a site as this.... I find my thinking stopped and Im then in the strictly 'absorbed-by-it'' mode. And... I want to remain right there. You see.... this opens and reveals to me a place in my soul that I just didn't even know was there.... til now.

  • @KeniLeeBurgess
    @KeniLeeBurgess  11 лет назад +10

    Thank you for your comment. Regardless of metal or glass, thick walled and heavy usually works best. Glass is more dense than softer metals like brass and generally produces the superior tone. Guitar Set-up is really key for any guitar to produce it's best tone. The proper string tension for the slide is essential. Tuning and string guage are related. I hope this answers your question. Enjoy your practice.

    Ya...in big cities too. In a way, pawn brokers function and step in, when the banks can't help you...after watching these currently popular shows about pawn shops...people should do a little homework first before pawning. Brokers are there to make a buck too...if they can get more for less, that is just good business. Thanks for sharing.
