Here’s EP259, some country lead. Used a Gretsch with a Twin Reverb (emulated).
I like this tune. It’s on my Vimeo page (Bruce’s Blues channel)Just focus on the notes you DID get right . . . Frank Vignola

I feel like I’m riding over the open plains myself. A sweet country flavour. Very well played on a great guitar!

Man, that’s as country as it gets. Almost as good as the Riders of the Purple Sage.

Thanks, Laurel. Brian has gotten me into country the last year or so.
Liked your Drop D last month, and the background.

Thanks, Dieter, worked on that one for a while and finally got that opening lick solid. All the country licks are still pretty recent with me.

Where are you now? Pittsburgh? CA?

Cali.. was back in the Burgh two years ago. We used to go every two years to visit, but we’re not getting on any airplanes this year.
I grew up in Forest Hills. Went to Duquesne and during that time lived with a bunch of fellow scholars, who went to Pitt, in apts in Shadyside and Oakland. One of my old buddies lives over on Norsside. I heard they started calling it the North Shore, but that ain’t right. We keep in touch. Got to see a ballgame at PNC a few seasons ago.Just focus on the notes you DID get right . . . Frank Vignola

Bruce, I will be the first to admit that “country” music is my least FAVE!!! By a long shot! You can thank my ex-wife from Mississippi for that – not your fault! HOWEVER, keeping an open mind to talent, YOU ROCKED IT!! WELL DONE my friend.

Thank you Bobby Ut! I got into country years ago, but it was Merle Haggard country, or Bakersfield country. But ‘Modern’ (radio) country is a lot of overproduced rock hooks with some country bends. Pretty suburban compared to the whiskey and truck days. I mean, those engineers could make me sound good. I don’t blame you, that would be hard to listen to as a steady diet.
I’ll always be a blues guy, but I always thought those country pickers knew the guitar so much better than your average rocker or blues guy. Check out Johnny Hyland sometime. He makes that Tele talk. I’ve tried a couple of his lessons, but that chickin pickin, I think you have to start that when you’re eight years old.
But people love it. If you’re ever playing out, NOBODY minds hearing a country tune once in a while.I wasn’t looking for it but was glad that Brian put up all these tunes with new (to me) country licks. Big fun.
Thanks Booby Ut. Now put up a song!
