Say you're wealthy without saying, you are wealthy

I never knew they put filthy things like that to vinyl back. Then, of course I know people were singing stuff like that, but I never knew they put it to vinyl good grief lol.

I liked B, it’s more open and less nasally. I would guess A is the vintage one, it sounds like an old blues record.

What is that model of resonator? 14 fretter too!

Excellent discussion and very informative. What is the method of work to move a biscuit bridge slightly fore or aft? Every string is sharp 10-12 cents; Recording King Nickel Style-0 Resonator w/ Roundhole Cone

thankyou for this!

Too much mouth for me.. see ya

I suppose now you just need to learn to play it.

Brilliant stuff as usual. Your mention of Blind Willie Johnson playing a resonator fascinates me. I would love to know more about that.

i love the lesson & ironic outfit!

Great Lesson TY!

So...is it for sale?

Shave Em Dry could easily be a dirty rap song, Maybe Ice Spice should cover it

Further proof we have always been a bunch of crazy pervs. 🤣

Great lesson..thanks

Good lesson. Cheers.

Have you considered releasing your music on vinyl? I just received the "Please Warm My Weiner" 12" vinyl LP on Yazoo Records, and have ordered two more vinyl LPs from them (both Bo Carter titles).

I have a sneaking suspicion that this guy likes the blues…

Great lesson. I'm playing a lot of dirty loose slide to add aggressive attack, but this was a well needed lesson in a more controlled, muted restraint. Thank you!

Much nicer tone on the old guitar

I love them both. Which means I "need" both.

But a Uke not long back but that resonator, what an eyeopener! Thank you!

Love your washboard videos. Please ket me know where you get your thimbles especially if you have to order them. Thanks

I've got two '34s, one has a Hawaiian Hula scene on the back that was painted in 1945. The other had a bone bridge fashioned for it at some point, which is amazing to me, because the original cones seemed to be put on with carpet tacks. The cone in that guitar is original and there's no apparent evidence of having been worked on. The B guitar sounded more like my Trojans. I think the different endpieces affect the timbre slightly also.

You should listen to my good friend, Ari Eisinger. He does Blake better than anyone I have ever heard and I've been playing professionally for almost 50 years.

Awesome mate, thanks!!!!

What a load of bollocks . Death letter blues was by Blind Willie about his falsely accused friend. Not sure what this guy or Son House are about here. Some descent parts here and there. But no blues historian as claimed

If you want to go super nerdy, try swapping out coverplate styles. I was shocked when I put a nickel plated brass chicken foot coverplate on my Delphi. I think the changes you can get in timbre from small changes on resos is what keeps me fascinated with them. String material, slide material, fingers, picks, fingernails all give such dynamic differences, it's like having a harem of guitars with one instrument. But they're like potato chips(crisps) nobody eats just one.

Can you make a tutorial on how to english your guitars? My resonator says kurwa all the time now that I polished it

If you have to have a pick guard get a Gibson LG2. The 50s reissue comes with pa great one and has X bracing. The L01 is lader braced

No pick guard on that model. Never had one and would ruin its unfucked with antique value

my dad picked up one n Manchester way back in 1960

They both are great. I have a 1998 National Style N. I have found that every one sounds slightly different and much depends on the metal alloy used as well the cone. I've been recently trying to flatpick jazz on my National which is challenging due in large part to the volume and sustain that is overpowering. Thanks for the video.

Great performance, I really like it

No volume!! Sad!

Ethel Waters - My Handy Man (1928) James P. Johnson. Some remakes are popular at modern swing dances.

Hi Martin. ❤

You’re so fucking cute. ❤

Why did that guy remove those internal supports? That definitely affected the timbre of the instrument, BIG TIME! When NRP started using their Hot Rod cone as the stock cone, it made a very positive difference in the sound of their instruments. I have a Delphi and a Radio Tone that were built before the Hot Rod cone was standard, and have since upgraded and the tonal differences are profound. With regards to your vintage style O, you should have the supports put back in. It'll make a difference.

hey do you have tab to show what thiscpattern iscexactly ? I have slowed it down and just can't figure it all out - would be cool if you could verbalize which strings your plucking hard to follow - thanks so much

It's not boring. It's what I wanted to know today ta

Warm sound of 1934 style O

Did you open up your vintage O when you got it? I think there was only two years they did it, but they used to put flocking in the sound well so the cone wouldn't rattle. It mellows out the timbre. My '33 has it. The thing that's the most amazing about the construction of the vintage Nationals is how the biscuit was attached. How the hell they did that without f-ing up the cone is mind boggling.(it's attached with what looks like carpet tacks)

Autosol is abrasive

I think R.L. Burnside’s music is too different to call it Delta blues. R.L Burnside and Junior Kimbrough are Mississippi Hill Country Blues which is a different style than Delta Blues

Listening to all 3 ukes the sweetest sound is the wooden ukulele. Banjolele has its place for Irish music for example. The resonator soinds very tinny.

Chévere

hi, this style is great, what is it called?

I appreciate the video greatly. Thank you. But it is unfortunate to have so many great guitars and lack the mic(s) to record them at a higher quality. They all sounded very thin and flat, even though you are a talented player and I'm sure they are fantastic in the room. Due to this, I fear some guitars were made to sound disproportionately worse.

Geez, Cincinnati board were 130quid 3 years ago, about 3X now... I hope musicians are paid more too LOL
