Location: Jet City | Mark in Boise - 2015-11-13 12:04 PM Back to the theme of playing with better players, you want to join me for my rendition of the Wedding Song? I think the last time I played it I couldn't get in sync with my brother on guitar and his daughter on piano. It'd be an honor. What's the date? By the way, I don't think I ever saw which daughter... Is it Rachel? |

I was just kidding. Rachel is trying to cut down the guest list by a lot. July 9. |

Did you ever see Desperado, with Antonio Banderas? They had guns blazing out of the guitar cases, even a bazooka from one case!

The city officials swear the streets were named long before the actor became famous. Ya, right!

There was some really fine Spanish and Flamenco Guitar playing in the movie! And for the guys, Selma Hayek, who really is the female equivalent of Antonio. Not one for the kids though... |

Location: cincinnati, ohio | Everybody has his/her own niche. If i worried about playing in front of better people than me, I'd never play, because most people would be better than me. ^_^
I played in a band called "Wooden Nickel" (inspired by the Crosby, Stills and Nash bootleg of the same name) with Jody Ray and John Murphy. Three vocals and three acoustic guitars, originals and covers. Jody and John are two of the finest guitar players I've ever known. Jody is an intuitive, natural picker, and John is professional grade. No lie; John could hold his own on the same stage with the likes of Clapton or Joe Walsh. Of the three of us, I am the least talented. I’m not exactly chopped liver – I’m a solid rhythm player and have some slick fingerpicking moves – but technique wise they could blow my doors off.
But that’s not what it’s all about.
I fill my niche; I play my role. I’m the foundation. Nothing flashy, but if you pull me out the walls come tumbling down.
It is what it is. Sure – I’d love to play as well as Jody or John - or a number of other pickers, too. If I don’t, though, I’m okay with it. Don’t let a little self-consciousness keep you from having fun…

Location: Michigan | tuesday night i hooked up with a musician friend that i have not played with since 1966.we had a band together then and since have went our different ways. we use to have had to be driven by our parents our gigs because we were far from drivers license than ( 13 -14 -15 )
what a ton of fun and it was like we have not been playing together for a long time. within a couple of songs ( 10 ) minutes or so we were back in the groove much better than we were years ago.
it was just really strange the way we came back together and could play the songs we struggled with back then ,,, and now after a few minutes we are doing a steler job on them.
it was a really a cool night that will always stay in the memory banks.
p..s. we did it all electric but i did plug in the merb 12 string for a few jams .GWB |

Location: Michigan | my friend likes to play lead riffs much more than rythym so we played some cream , hendrix , yes e.l.p. neil young and a song that i just picked up last week wicked games by chris issac
here is what i remember
im so glad
white room
were going wrong
badge
down by the river
wicked games
gloria
from the beginning
lucky man
hey joe
your gonna miss me
and you and i
this was a full blown jam session of us just switching off playing leads and rythyms with no rules just start playing whatever you wanted and the other guy comes in and backs it up . a whole bunch of fun that night and it was great that we both still had the songs down fairly well for not jamming with each other for so long.
i know that i am getting old because we didn't crank up the amps like we used to. GWB

are you shy about playing in front of better players than yourself?
