i wasnt quite sure where to put this thread, but i figured this would probably be the best spot. ive been playing since i was about 13, and im 20 now...wow, i cant believe ive been harping for 7 years now! how time flies. anyhoo...this is just a video of me at a local blues jam in chicago that i go to once a week and i thought all of you would enjoy it. its kind of a long jam because we gave out a couple guitar solos, but everyone is good, so it isnt painful to watch, lol!

thanks for indulging me! oh, and constructive criticism is more than welcome! lol

Nice tone you got there. I love that song. What gear are you using?

[ChAnOoD_bLuEs]

Hey, Great Job! I really enjoyed this cover!

[Elwood565]

thanks Chanood and Jim! i really appreciate it.

Jim, i play hohner special 20's and im using a vintage astatic jt-30 witha controlled reluctance element through a distortion peddle and into a vintage bassman. its really the perfect chicago sound, and im really happy with it.

That was excellent! My neighbour has some chicken wire around his tomato plants and I went out and threw my empty beer bottles at it in honour of the performance! lol. That was really good, Elwood565, Bob-A-Rama!!! Wow, man, I'm really impressed with that.

A motorhead and a bluesman ... great stuff!

[Elwood565]

thanks Steam good buddy! i really appreciate that, especially the beer bottle "christening" shall we say! lol!

and i personally think that there is no better combo than motorhead/bluesman. i mean, it works well enough as it is because even if you dont like blues music, cars sure can give you the blues!

Great jam, Bob, and terrific harping! Just gotta work on that ending, where everything just kinda stops right at the 10-minute mark on YouTube....

[Elwood565]

Thanks Bismo! yeah, that ending kinda comes outta nowhere, but considering we all just decided to stop at the same time and not end the song, i thought it went well, lol

I know I'm late, but I just found this thread.

Bob, that is fantastic!
A real pleasure to watch.

What is the name of your band?
You guys play regular gigs?

Do you have a CD, or if not, maybe songs somewhere to download?

Great work.

Whadd'ya say, Bob. Sell a few CD's here. Chris wants 5.29% commission! Lol! http://www.bluesbrotherscentral.com/forum2/public/style_emoticons/default/icon_cool.gif

I gotta agree, it's a real pleasure to watch you guys jammin'.! Great stuff, Bob!

[Elwood565b]

well thanks again Steam. chris would get his 5.29%, because boy has he earned it! who's quote is that? i couldnt find who wrote it.

i dont have a band....sadly, this is a group of musicians that i jam with at a local blues club. im a full time student and really dont have the time it takes to commit to get a band together and make a solid show out of it. but if and when i do, everyone here will be the first to know when the gig's are! i can promise that it will be "a lot of entertainment...for $2."

PM > Bob. Bob, this is a private message available to members. No one else can see it. I wrote that quote.
