  • Acoustic guitar version of Santo and Johnny's "Sleep Walk" on a 1936 Gibson L-5 by Pecos Hank. The floating pickup is a vintage DeArmond super rhythm chief 1100. For amplification I'm running through a Holy Grail reverb pedal set on "hall" and then plugged into a Fender Blues DeVille with the volume as low as it can possibly be. To mic the song for this video I'm using a room compressor mic blended with a little treble bump from the camera mic.

      Pecos Hank is a musician, fearless storm chaser and animal rescuer. It doesn’t get any better😘

      Wow, is this the same Pecos Hank Tornado Chaser?
      And now I find out he also rescues animals (TY sum1has2sayit).
      Yeah, I've got to agree with Moonawrathic, this Dude is the coolest person in the world!
      I've been a practicing guitarist since 1974 and am duly impressed with his skills playing this song.
      But to then play it on a '36 L5, wow, that is a whole different level.
      Much Respect Sir, and thank you.

  • @michelleneeds4165
    @michelleneeds4165 Před 3 lety +4

    I absolutely adore this arrangement, trying to get it down in little bits and bobs as my only guitar at the mo is an old 60's Harmony archtop, it sounds beautiful but its a bit of a battle axe, especially for bar chords, just will learn the first few 8 bars or so and keep looping them everyday untill i can get them chords ringing like a bell and then hopefully the rest of the song will fall into place one my hand is strong enough. Anyway hope all is well, love the L5 too. Cheers from the UK

    You can imitate the sound of pedal steel guitar by humming and squeezing your nose - "E-lectric HA-waiian PE-dal STEEL GUITAR" I once twanged along with the entire song when it came on the car radio. (It was pretty high out that night.)

      Most people want a cutaway with a pick up. because of this, sometimes you can score am L5 or L7 non-cuttaway at a steal. Especially from an individual.
