Hvala ti od srca! I nama je 24-vorka ostala u divnom secanju! Secam se da je Marija B. radila kao promoter, uvek pun klub, divna atmosfera... Sve najbolje ti zelim!

Helooooo Mr. G! Great to hear from you. How is everything? I've put YT on hold due to the family moving to a new flat....All equipment rigged down and moved, then I had some client work where I needed all the cameras and lights, and this very weekend I'm setting up everything again. The new studio furniture and backdrop are ready to go. New videos coming soon!

Tusen tack! Det var verkligen skoj att ge lite homage till Delmore Bros, Doc Watson för min del, och min kollega är yngre och mer influerad av tex. Tommy Emannuel. Allt gott!

Thank you kindly George!

Thank you, that warms 🙂

Never heard or seen one....

​@@HomesickMacThanks for letting me know

Great! Kansas City can be done in so many different ways 🎶🎶👌

@@HomesickMac Yes, im getting fascinated and collceting vesion of some early songs 20s and 30 whihc have been recorded in many genres at varioius points in time

@@mandolin-george-uk Correct, my fascination as well!

George, so noble of you to consider attending my Retreat despite the difficulties. Ive had participants flying in from the UK previously, and actually the logistics aren't that cumbersome once at the Copenhagen Airport. There's then a direct train towards the city of Landskrona. Then there's a buss that takes you to the little ferry, and off you go to the Island of Ven, takes 30 mins. I'd be more than happy to continue our conversation through email so please send a message to homesickmac@gmail.com

@@HomesickMac OK will do - this weekend.

Thank you kindly, my pleasure!

Hvala ti od srca, a i odradjeno je sa srcem haha! Obozavam ovu pesmu!

Hello George! Thank you kindly for commenting and reminding me of those great years during the "Blues Weeks" at Northampton. I'm missing that particular place although the past two years at Hartpury were very pleasant..

@@HomesickMac I have just got off the phone to Michael Roach - I thought the blues week had moved to Hartpury college - The posts online were a little confusing. . He informed me that they moved back to Northampton but it is fully booked this year . Where I live - way up north - it is 10 to 11 hours on 6 trains to get to Hartpury - Northampton is more feasible . Are you involved at Norhthampton this year? I Cannot believe that 25years later (and a lot of water under the bridge) I heard from you and spole to Michael . Very nice - uplifting. Thank you ps I just bought the OC5 and haven't used it or got it out of the box yet . !!

@@georgefenning4844 That's right, now I remember now Michael mentioned it's Northampton again, but I'm not booked for this year. I taught in 2022 and 2023, now a little break I guess. I've had my own event since 2012, a 3-day Guitar Retreat on an island of Ven in southern Sweden. I'm a solo instructor for all three days. You can check it out here: homesickmac.com/guitar-retreat Oh, I'm still on the OC-3 haha, old fashioned 🙂 I'm sure the OC-5 has brought some improvements...

Thank you kindly David, I guess you are referring to also my favourite version, acoustic guitar, just Ry and the amazing singer trio... Amazing, I've been so influenced by that.!

Yes the Chicken Skin Revue eith Bobby King Terry Evens and Flaco Jimenz Classic ​@@HomesickMac

@@HomesickMac yes The Chicken Skin Reveu band 1977 ish with Bobby King Terry Evens W Roberston jnr and Flaco Jimenz Classic stuff

Thank you, good luck with it!!!

Hello! I've recorded with two microphones. My voice and a little bit from the guitar sound is picked up by an Earthworks SR314 condenser microphone that was placed above my head and out of camera frame, and I've had an Aston Origin condenser in front of the guitar and a little bit to the side of my picking hand. Both mics went into Rode Caster Pro II by Røde which acted as an interface in this case. Thank you for commenting!

Jesus definitely approves 😂

Thank you David! Knowing how great you are on piano, no doubt 🎉🙌🙌🎶

Zdravo Igore! Thank you for commenting, and here's my take on this. Playing a combination of melodies, rhythms, small note-twirks in between vocal phrases, is my own style nowadays, I even play the solos like that. I simply never leave the basses and the chords.. My biggest influence here was Brownie McGhee when it comes to blues. He was the very first blues guitarist I've heard and his style took me so hard that I just had to study him in detail. He is also one of guitarists from that era (like 1930's to 70's there somewhere) who could both play 12 bar blues, 8 bar stuff (like "Key To The Highway" for ex.), then he could also play alternative bass style. This is a child with many names, it's fingerpicking, Travis picking... But listen to almost anything he played with Sonny Terry, songs like "Whole Sale Dealer" (12 bar blues), "Walk On", also a shuffley groove, but then also "Custard Pie", Hand In Hand", if you just look it up on Spotify or Apple Music, you'll find loads of recordings. That would be my first tip 🙂

@@HomesickMac Zdravo :) Zadnje vrijeme sam bacio oko više na akustični blues.. deep river blues, nine pound hammer, clive caroll mississipi blues, big bill bronzy hey hey, eric clapton before you accuse me.. cilj bi bio razviti vokabular da mogu iz običnog shuffle-a krenuti u lead i kretati se po formi blues-a 'na vrijeme'.. Poslušat ću sve prijedloge :) Dobri videji su mi bili Kirk Fletcher's Blues Comping Tips - Guitar Player Magazine i Kirk Fletcher favourite blues shuffles. Upijam iz svih mogućih izvora ideje :)

@@igorperic5232 Odlicno si se organizovao, svaka cast! Sve su to dobri uzori i fini fazoni svirke bluza. Samo guraj!

Thank you so much, I'm looking forward to recording the next video!

Hello and thank you for stopping by Bruce! Next week, "Jesus on The Mainline" w. slide :-)

Thank you, I realized my approach was more into details of various parts of the melody, but I've never really ran through the whole thing.. you're 100% right. I'll correct this in the next video where I'll play the melody on top of my own backup (that you can see in the end of this video).

Hi! Just an update regarding my own comment.. I've tried but couldn't manage to record that "The Weight" melody in full, with the provided backup, some syncing technical issues occured. I will eventually fix it as I'm learning more about filming and editing. I'm uploading a new video as I'm writing this, it's "Jesus On The Mainline" in Open D with slide, fingerstyle, chords and grips explained..._and_ ... as I've learned from reading your comment before, I took some special care to play the whole melody several times through. Thanks for watching!

Thank you Johnny! Talking about soloing on top of this kind of backup, there's a new video about exactly that czcams.com/video/6E4bJTUOSAo/video.htmlsi=WrETOpcaRvk5Ehj0 Cheers and thank you for commenting!

Thank you good sire!

Thank you so much, I needed this encouragement! New video coming on Wednesday(s) :-)

You’re welcome! I will definitely be following this series and trying the ideas out! Keep up the great work.

Thank you my old friend, goin' for it and it's so much fun!

Thank you Patrik!

Thanks Guil! Had some serious stage fright prior to the Premiere, but now it feels great!

Hello Milovan! Thanks so much for watching! This is how I play Banks Of The Ohio when I'm solo as well. With Maria Stille, well, sometimes it's a fingerpicked version (like Doc..), but we're also leaning towards this more swingy version..

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thank you so much! My friend is actually living in New York nowadays (the one to the right in the video..) Cheers!

Hvala najlepse! Prenecu Peri ovaj komentar, on nije bas mnogo na internetu... Pozdrav!

Thank you kindly my friend! Your own consistency in livestreaming was a huge inspiration along the way!!!!

Thank you sir!
