If you don't want to watch the whole thing, the guitar part starts at about 4:18. I don't know what model Ovation he's playing other than it's a shallow bowl with epaulets. He sings Wichita Lineman at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXfNTEi2CIc | ||

I've also referenced the Matthew Quigley quote before (about the Colt revolver) in regard to my own personal use of a capo. "I said, ' I never had much use for one.' I never said I didn't know how to use it." I still do use the capo in the music therapy sessions with my friend/mentor, Bruce, to some degree, but not always. I just learned how to play without it at some point, but I've got at least 2 of them floating around somewhere when I need them." It's better to have something, and not need it, than to need something, and not have it." (My Former Pastor.) Bruce uses a capo more often than I do, especially for CCW. Is it okay to shun the use of a capo for Bass guitar? I've never used a capo on my bass guitar at any point in time. Mike S. Ottawa, ON., CANADA | ||

Stranger things have happened already. Mike S. Ottawa, ON., CANADA | ||

To quote my fellow Canadian, Shania Twain, "That don't impress me much." God save us from such stupidity. And to also quote my late Dad, who said, back in the day, "New isn't always better." Now it seems we're just another average copycat guitar company, and Charlie and Bill did all that advanced research work for different guitar technology, from 1966 to now, for nothing?! No wonder Bill left. Charlie must be spinning in his grave. Mike S. Ottawa, ON., CANADA. | ||

That's definitely how us old veterans see it. As for GEWA, on the other hand, they get up every morning and pull on their boots to make profit, and I am strongly supposing they will sell every unit to customers who play on that level. No doubt aimed at the young European market, and I hope they do well with it. I'm at least glad they ran it under the Applause label and not the Ovation name. Hopefully they have something better in store for that (if ever). | ||

Joined: August 2002 Posts: 582 Location: Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA | Hello, Everyone, HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO ALL THE USA OFC MEMBERS! On one of my Cable TV channels here in OTTAWA, CANADA, Stingray Music is a site called Country Classics. They show an album cover display of every song before and after they are played, and this morning Glen Campbell's "LEGACY", album showed up, with a 2016 GC Artist RI as part of the album cover! Unbeknownst to the people in the peanut gallery, this alone speaks volumes, and is a real LEGACY, if there ever was one for Glen as a guitar player. Again, Happy Fourth, Y'all! Mike S. Ottawa, ON., CANADA Edited by Mike S. 2024-07-04 2:58 PM | ||
