Great job Jon

Yeah, we spent a couple of hours with it, after dinner, on his birthday.  I was happy that he liked it.

Crazy awesome, I've seen George like three times and he never lets ya down, nice redition JG.

I like your take of George's song.  Tom Waits is very unique and his voice is very rude and raw like P90 pickups.

 

I seen Waits on TV for the first time maybe 25 years ago.  He sang a song off of the Franks Wild Years album, playing a piano with an old mechanic shop light if I remember correctly.  Bought that album and I really liked it.  He is just so completely different than anyone else it's refreshing.

Jon, I did enjoy it.   I keep coming back trying to learn it the way you did it.  I have the licks somewhat down, but so far, my timing and singing are ba ba ba bad

Yeah, I've never been able to do much with the finger-picking.  I'm a huge fan, myself.  I even have a vintage Gibson ES-125 Unfortunately, without the cutout body, so not an exact match), mostly because that's what he plays.

 

And, I love Tom Waits, as well.  But, you have to admit that his vocal stylings are...unique?  Is that a good word for it?

 

Anywho, I hope you enjoyed my little stab at George's song.

I'm a huge George Thorogood fan.  George does not use a guitar pick.  He only uses his fingers to play.  I love the tone he gets with his Gibson guitar which has P-90 pickups on it.  Those P-90 have a little ruder and rawer sound.

 

I like Tom Waits voice.

 

Nice playing and nice build by the way.

Jon,  your vocal style worked great on this song.

Comment by Jon Grinder on March 20, 2011 at 5:56am

Thanks, guys.  I have struggled with this thing, trying to make it sound the way I wanted.

 

Uncle John: I'm still trying to follow your advice on the vocals.  I'm still not great but, I figure if Bob Dylan and Tom Waits can sing in public...

Excellent.  You had me in the first few seconds.  You got those licks down thoroughly good.   Good vocals and a great looking and sounding guitar.   Cool art work in the back ground. Huh,  that little box on the back worked well.
