Master Dave was out there playing but the devil didn't show up, so he went back home.
Not at a crossroads, I guess.
I understood that reference.
Dave doesn't need the devil ♥️
Ortega did their job I’d say. If you can pull it out in the English countryside and have it sound like Mississippi… that’s a win. Nice playing as always too Dave
Dave your videos where you play slide are truly a gift. Like the cinematic beginning too. Keep up the good work.
Best sales pitch ever for a guitar
Delta Dave..... Awesome video!
I bought one today! I sat down in the shop and held it and played the base and had to have it!!
Another kick in the balls to high end guitars and a thumbs up for your magic on the strings
Dave Simpson at the Crossroads, showin’ the Devil a thing or two ‘bout playing the Blues! Beautiful video, awesome playing, hitting me right in my heart. ❤️👍🎸🎶✌️
Fell in love with that reso at the guitar show................
Very theatrical into... beautiful scenery, magnificent sound's...
Very inventive.....
Ortega getting good value here...🤟🤙👌🎼🎵🎸🎵🎶
FMD you got a resonator 😎
Crocodiles and Ry Cooder pop up in my head 😎
Sweet! I bought a resonator maybe 30 years ago. Absolutely love the vibe, just incredible and different! Sadly it went about 10 years ago and have been thinking about it ever since! This would make a sensible replacement for my all metal reso on so many levels!
Masterful playing. Thank you. I agree with everything you noted by the watch - spot on, but it dissent matter.
Can't beat the slide. Goes right to the soul
whouw, that last part with the shimmer was so wonderfull....thanks for that...made my day!!
Your such a special person dave another guitar I would like to add to my ever-growing collection have a great day
Great sounding resonator and playing. Dave can play anything.
You are smiling the full video. A new love Found. Nice to see and listen. Thx for this one. Hello from Belgium. 😄
Dave blind Simpson sees the light!
beautiful opening dave
sweet guitar brother davo!
awesome intro bit as well!!!
You get so many awesome sounds out of that guitar Dave! If you ever have time for a second channel, I have a title for it, how about; ‘the Dave Simpson Blues Hour?’
Somehow apt for East Anglia and Lincs. 😏 Sounds great. Loved the intro. Thanks.
Nice cinematography! Very well done! Nice playing also!
The end is fantastic 👍👍👍
Great playing Dave
Nice playing ! Thanks !
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Dave ❤😊
perfect instrument for you Dave when it comes to an acoustic electeric...congrats! Tremelo and reverb sound great on those!
The thin and honky acoustic sound is not for me, but I absolutely love the clean sound of the pickup! :)
If you want to sit with your back to the sun to capture the dramatic sky, which I must say looks incredible, a key light or two would do wonders. Awesome location . . . Thanks for the interlude, and now its time for "Ice Cream" 🍧🍨🍦
You really floated my boat today. My lessons are wholly blues based because that’s all I want to play. I don’t mind some rock here & there but I’d rather listen to it than play it. I can really feel the blues. I have in mind a parlor sized resonator with a pickup for when my playing improves. The Ortega is the 1️⃣ and available in the US in my price range. I can’t thank you enough for this demo. It was outstanding ‼️I’ll be waiting for when you change the tuners and whatever you do I’ll do the same. I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks 🙏. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵🩵
Great fun mate well funny 😊
I just love open tuning and a slide - Preferring glass to any other type ( open D being my fave tuning) Great video Dave
Awesome Dave!!
I have a rigid guitar case that was broken at the big part, like it was split from weight. Could never figure out how the last guy did it, but now i see. Using it as a stool... never thought of that before..🤣
Really nice guitar!🙂
Glad to see you with a resonator! A different world of bliss 😁 Yours looks like a parlour size, & normally 12’s or 13’s would be fitted for slide work. I had an Icarus Parlour very similar a while ago. I now have a steel bodied full size Icarus Duolian, a repro of a 30’s National. I have 13’s on it, a Newtone Michael Messer Monel set, which tune up at lower tension. I play in open D or G.
You wailin on dat there thang! Keep the blues back by strumming that sweet instrument good sir, I would be personally interested in hearing a Dave Simpson blues track or 9 😁
Dave playing acoustic blues - oh how happy I am. Great acoustic - I would not need to play in the bathroom with one of those lol.
Sounded like a little Dokken riff there when you had it plugged in, if so, that may be the 1st time Dokken has ever been played on a resonator. Thanks Mister Dave!
Is there anything u can't do? This was stunning
Sweet
Absolutely brilliant playing! You make it shine! I understand the cone is stomped and not spun? Giving it a thinner, less resonant sound?
Ortega guitars are great i have the Ortega R122 3/4 classic . Looking at that guitar really looks a 3/4 and same shape as mine , but mine is not a resonator . Loved the start of the video and as always great playing
Wow, thank you for that 🙌🙌
What you described (turning, turning, sudden jump) sounds more like the string is sticking in the nut and then slips after enough tension is accumulated. Might try taking it to your favorite luthier and have them check out the nut slots. Otherwise it could be the tuning machines, but if they are not engaging properly then the tuning would be even more squirrelly.
Nice dobro !
I like the amplified sound of it
I want one of those now, although I always seem to have trouble with the tuners on slotted headstocks.
Surprised how well it sounded amped up. A fun bit of tattle, that. Bet it'll be a bit(...) temeramental at high volume onstage, though... Unless you simply decide to embrace the uncontrollable feed back and just go with it;)
And yeah, wonky machine heads are allways a huge pain in the back side. I know little to nothing about those split headstock thingys, but, there's an ocean of after marked tattle out there, so... yeah, like you said, perfectly fixable.
Curses! I've never wanted a resonator, but you make this one sound so good that I want to try one now.
Re: strings, I have a Guild parlour guitar which came with 12s. Sounded great but felt like hard work, so i swapped them for 10s. Felt better but sounded thin and "tinny". I've found that, for that particular guitar, 11s are a good compromise between tone and playability.
I met a fan of yours in the wild, he had a good gravey davey shirt on and I thought for sure nobody in my neighborhood knew of your online presence let alone rock out like you. crazy stuff because it was right after I started thinking about your new band name in the woods... very strange coincidence.
badass intro
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dave went down to the crossroads and started playing then a hippie in a napalm death shirt showed up requesting some Cathedral riffs making it clear this indeed was the wrong crossroads...
Build it they will come
Hi Dave, New subbie here😃 Could you tell me what FX pedal you are using round the 18:00 mark please, Love that orchestral sound, Many thanks Mark .... PS loving the channel and looking forward to seeing part two of the guitar from the bin 😄
It could be that the peg holes are a bit tight. Open them up with a file. Then wax the holes and those tuning pegs will come right I think.
Nice
Not a bad rendition of a mississippi delta blues style in the opening.
#no 9 is good
Just bought this I like it but needs a setup !!!!!
Does anybody know what the tune is called about 9,17 minutes in please? I've heard Dave play it before, really like it. Great guitar perfect for Mark Knopflers Romeo and Juliet would sound excellent on it
Intro sounds like Long cold winter -Cinderella.
How did you get the sun to wear those dark glasses?
Never trust the GPS in a guitar case!
I tried that in Glasgow earlier today. The guitar case blew away, the guitar followed and I am currently stuck up a tree. How did I get up a tree? Wind is the answer and for once not produced by beans. Is it a dad joke to say this video resonated with me? Of course it is, silly question.
😎👍👍
😎✌👍❤🖖
Is it the tuners, or the strings? I quit putting acoustic strings on my acoustic guitars because they never seem to act right. I switched to a set of electric 10 gauge strings and glad i did. Install new strings, stretch them, and now my acoustic is MUCH more fun to play and holds a tune so much better. No other changes than the strings.
He said it was the tuners, he said he changed the strings and it plays better, but the tuning machines aren't smooth.
Hi. Does that tone knob really change anything in sound? Cause I can see you are trying to adjust tone but don't see much tonal difference. I'm about to buy green one (as for that price I dont see any better sounding parlor resonator) but I'm afraid it will go like in HB guitars with one knob that is more a decorative than practical. Appreciate if you could honestly comment about that. Any other, better resonator for about 350 pounds?
It does change the tone but its subtle till the last bit.
Hello Dave!! What amp(s) would you recommend these days to get as close as possible to John's classic sound, if about 1000€ were the upper limit?
Boss katana artist.
@@thedavesimpson Thanks, my old little amp recently broke and I'll not have it repaired ;-; How would you say does the Katana artist compare to Marshall amps, say, the dsl40cr regarding John's/rhcp tone? I'm not specifically after the Californication tone, I'm a huge fan of BSSM, UMPP, .. too
Is that a new guitar Dave ?
Yep
Can't you write a blues song about tuning it? i will start you off i may. "woke up this morning had the machine head blues.....
Have guitar will travel is that the Lincolnshire delta
It is indeed. :)
@@thedavesimpson love it
That’s not the cross road young man, although it is good cross road music.
Thank you for that @thedavesimpson 👏👏
